Highly praised Clarendon: fruity, gently funky and herbal with well-integrated alcohol. A focused, elegant take on Jamaican esters that many see as an ideal, approachable cask-strength sipper.
Enthusiasts who enjoy Jamaican esters but prefer a more elegant, fruity and herbal style over the heavy-hitting Hampden funk, and want a cask-strength Clarendon that stays approachable.

How does this rum taste?
Gentle gateway into Clarendon funk
If you enjoy lighter Hampden or Worthy Park but want something subtler and more herbal, this Clarendon gives you real Jamaican character without the intensity that can overwhelm newer palates.
Beginners sensitive to 56% ABV or drinkers who dislike light medicinal/varnish notes and some astringent bitterness in their dry, unsweetened rums.

A surprisingly funky nose with gentle esters that transport us straight to Jamaica, but without the spicy, heavy power of the Hampdens. Here, it's all about delicacy, with notes of fresh pineapple and tart green apple. It's all about the fruit, and it's very greedy. On the palate, it's still delicious, but without the liveliness of esters. This rum is ideal for discovering the special terroir of Jamaican rums, without offending the most sensitive palates. The alcohol is very well integrated. There's a profusion of exotic fruits: pineapple, papaya, passion fruit and a touch of mango. Mild spices like cinnamon and a little clove, which gives it a medicinal edge, soften the palate. The finish is medium-light, with a very light woodiness and a little fruitiness.
