"Clearly more pleasing than the Australian from 2009; coherent sweetness, which gives the rum a pleasant sweetness. In addition, Jamaica-typical fruit flavors, which are not too dominant, wood and quite grippy spices - not a spectacular profile, but overall nicely balanced and easy to drink."

"A good rum, but for me the finish does not really fit! He seems very artificial!"

"A good Clarendon for an introduction to quiet Jamaica. The traditional fruity and fermented side is there, but in the background, behind a more woody and gourmand side (this rum has a strong Bourbon character). All in all, a jamaicain for a relaxed evening out, or to introduce you to Jamaica without scaring you away (but let's hope the other guy will want to try the fermented fruit next time 😆)."

"My sample says bottled for "passievoorwhisky" but al the specifics are the same so it's problable a shared cask. Not a fan of the "politics" of Plantation/Planteray, but I'm gonna try to give this a fair review. Nose: typical Jamaican funk. Balanced for a Clarendon though. They tend to be a bit weirder than this. Actually quite nice. Taste: Pretty sweet for a Jamaican, is this sweetened? Planteray do have the tendency to do that..anyway. Sweet but not unpleasant. The rye cask shines through. Some American Oak. Tropical fruits. Still very balanced. Could be the age. Nothing extremely exciting but very drinkable. Medium finish. Woodbitters in the end. Solid drink."
