Aroma visualization from community tastings
Clarendon Canerock
Vanilla, coconut and caramel lead here, with cinnamon and a little ginger behind them — several tasters call it a liquid dessert or vanilla pudding in a glass. It's a spiced rum from Clarendon distillery, bottled by Maison Ferrand, and it's sweet. Fans love the creamy, pastry-like feel; skeptics find the vanilla synthetic and the Jamaican base buried under sugar.

Aggregated from 304 community reviews.
Sweet, creamy vanilla-coconut spiced rum People are divided: sweet-tooth drinkers find it a smooth, creamy vanilla-coconut treat, while others call the vanilla artificial and the whole thing far too sweet to read as real rum.

Delicious spiced rum, is very tasty to enjoy neat. Can also be used as a mix in various combinations. Tasty quality spiced rum that is not extremely sweet. but certainly gives a velvety mouthfeel. The bottle also looks very nice. The total look of Canerock ROCKS

Overall a way too sweet rum in my opinion. Had a glass of this spiced rum after a better dinner at Såstaholms Castle just north of Stockholm. The Canerock Jamaica Spiced is pot still rum from Clarendon and Long Pond bottled by Alexandre Gabriel and Maison Ferrand. It’s infused with vanilla, coconut and ginger. Thereafter it’s aged for 6 months in PX-Sherry barrels and finally it gets a dosage of 25gpl of sugar.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Vanilla pudding on the nose, spices very nicely integrated into a thick load of fruit. Not artificial, no weird notes, one of the roundest noses I've encountered on a spiced rum so far. The pudding stays on the palate too, but it turns summery spicy. The sweetness is kept in check, with just a slight sharpness towards the finish. Delicious!
Review by Sam 🥃
Canerock is a Jamaican spiced rum from Maison Ferrand, infused with natural spices. The vanilla beans are from Madagascar, the coconut from the Caribbean and the ginger is local. It's a spiced rum with unbeatable value for money. One of the best I've ever tasted, with its notes of vanilla, coconut, chocolate and spices, what more could you ask for? It's not too sweet either, which makes it really gourmand and pastry-like. With a really nice bottle and a very pretty wooden turtle illustration, I really like it, and it's unanimously appreciated by my friends and family.
Review by LukaŽiga
6:On the nose, the rum gently settles on a bed of sweet spices. It's coated with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, like a smooth coconut punch. One could even speak of a creamy rum, so mellow are the aromas. With a little swirling of the liquid in the glass, the spices are released in a cloud of fragrance reminiscent of incense or patchouli. 5,8:The palate is very pastry-like, with sweet spices such as vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, as well as a buttery, brioche-like sensation. The roundness is balanced, and the coconut milk and almond are quite tasty, as in a profile of American oak taken to the extreme. 5:The sweetness remains on the finish, roundedness vains... Small print:We still have to point out, that this is spiced rum. Edit:5.5.26, used in chocolate making..

Un rhum qui se boit sans artifice. Au nez , une odeur de noix de coco très agréable . En bouche , on ressent la vanille , la coco et même du caramel avec des épices qui rend ce rhum délicieux . À goûter absolument !
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Riecht nach dr. Pepper & cherry cola 🤣 Für einen spiced rum nicht ganz so süß wie andere spiced rum Kandidaten... Jamaica kommt mit viel Frucht zur Geltung aber insgesamt schmeckt es halt echt fast nur nach Cherry Coke 😃
Review by J-p Schoum
Madagascar vanilla very present which slightly attenuates the coconut! A real liquid dessert
Review by SaibotZtar
Not my thing at all... even as a mixer Somehow very artificial.
Review by Ben Macfarlane
Lovely sweet smell of caramel and long lasting taste of vanilla.
Review by Tafia Guildive
Taste is like sweetened Vodka with vanilla and some other additives. Whoever is giving this crap a good rating has no idea of what makes a good spirit or is getting paid by the industry. This is truly awful.
Review by Anthony
J’adore ce rhum ! Peut-être bien un de mes préférés équilibre parfait entre la coco, la vanille et son côté boisé/épicé qui complexifie le tous j’adooore et je valide à 100% autant l’été on the rock ou l’hiver, il es génial !
Review by R Wehner
Die Flasche ist noch das Beste. Nase direkt Marzipan, bissel Vanille; Zunge ähnlich, Marzipan, Vanille, kaum feststellbar Jamaika, muss man mögen/wollen, nicht meins
Review by Alf Affe Renberg
Väl värd sitt pris. Mycket god.
Review by Matej
I have not drink spiced rum for a while. Aroma is little bit alcoholic but overall everything is beat by sweet/vanilla scent with combination of almost cake scent. Taste is very gentle but again overall sweet with vanilla, caramel and marzipan flavor. To be honest this rum is liquid cake in glass. Finish is short sweet with little bit of dark chocolate flavor. I am glad for this opportunity but I am not big fan of spiced, sweet rums anymore.
Review by frseec
Dieser Rum trifft meinen Geschmack auf den Punkt. Die Vanille-Kokos Note im Geruch macht richtig Party. Im Geschmack kommt gleich eine süße Note welche dann von einer leichten Schärfe und Kokos Note begleitet wird. Die Süße und der Kokos Geschmack bleiben auch im Abgang erhalten.

Je lui mets un 8, car dans son style, c’est très bon. Les arômes sont très bons, effectivement c’est tres sucré. Mais dans son registre c’est tres bon

Way too sweet to drink. It's nothing but a vanilla bomb.
Review by Yannick CULTOT
Rhum gourmand et rond en bouche, un peu sucré mais pas désagréable.
