Clarendon Plantation Jamaica 2012 Calvados Cask

Apple, tropical fruit, and glue define this rum’s profile, with moderate spice. Worth a pour if you enjoy fruity spirits with a touch of funk and bitterness.

Fruit-forward, balanced spice, subtle apple sweetness, worth trying.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Fruity, smooth, I'll take another glass.
    • Nose is good, palet is medium length
    • Good sweetness and fruit

    Plantation Jamaica 2012 Calvados Cask brings plenty of apple, sweet fruit, and flashes of glue and lime, with a medium finish. Some mention 'good sweetness and fruit' (damin.massicotte) on the nose, while others highlight the 'balanced mild spice' (X-Savior) alongside a developing bitterness. Lovers of subtle, fruit-forward Jamaican rums will find something familiar. That said, opinions vary widely: a few call it simply 'okay', while others would 'take another glass.'

    "On The Rocks: On the nose it is a more subtle aroma with a balanced mild spice, fruit, oak and sweetness. Taste reveals a progressively building moderate spice with a balanced sweetness, oak and fruit notes. The spice quickly overtakes the rest of the balanced taste profile. There is a slightly delayed chest burn that was pleasant. Finish is medium length with a sweetness but also a slightly building bitterness with a mild fruit/apple sweetness. This is not a typical flavour bomb that you could pour a gentleman’s drink over ice. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Dusty old Pepsi zero warehouse. Taste is a confusing slightly sweet yet bitter taste that is not overly pleasant. Finish is very short. I don’t not recdomend drinking mixed."
