Berry Bros & Rudd Clarendon Jamaican Rum 2004
Sip it neat with a drop of water and this Clarendon shows a bright, fruity side of Jamaica — crushed banana and pineapple up front, funky esters and solvent underneath, with light wood and a hint of smoke. Several members call it elegant and round rather than a wild ester bomb. Long, warm finish. At 62.4% the heat is mostly in check.
The community says- Ripe banana fruit
- Rounded funk
- But: Not complex

How does Berry Bros & Rudd Clarendon Jamaican Rum 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Bright, fruity Jamaican funk, on the gentle side Members land on the same verdict: fruity, funky and easy to like, but not very complex — a rounded, "gentle" Jamaican rather than a challenging one. A few find the alcohol a touch loose.

Ein Hoch auf die DB, dank deren Unfähigkeit ich Rum trinken darf :) Ester, Lösungsmittel und Ananas in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch Ester, sowie tropische Früchte (Ananas znd Banane). Alkohol aber nicht wirklich gut integriert.

Review by Boletus
Der wirklich angenehme und feine, wenn auch etwas verhaltene, Geruch gibt konsequent die Richtung vor, welche der Geschmack einschlagen wird. Jedoch erweist sich das „helle“ Profil im Mund mit seinen tropenfruchtigen Estern und den Noten von Honig, Marzipan und prickelnden Gewürzen bedeutend intensiver als angekündigt. Macht Spaß!
Review by zabo
Very fine on the nose, in the mouth I find it very funky. Alcohol m.M. very well integrated. I like it very much. Very fruity and round. Although a bit simple but he makes you want more.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Very light color in the glass for 17 years. The nose is fruity, slightly smoky and woody. Nice funky ester notes. Very similar on the palate, not particularly sweet. A little nuttiness is added on the finish. Overall not particularly complex, but pleasantly intense in the fruit. Alcohol is well integrated.
Review by Djehey
A rather elegant Jamaican with a fat, mashed banana-like frame mixed with pineapple. Not bad at all. The nose is more discreet than the mouth. On the palate, it's fruity, but also pastry-like: brioche, pastries, almond paste. Very nice.
Review by Agricoler
Tasted yesterday at the Finest Spirits at the booth of Berry Bros. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. For a long time again had a Monymusk in the glass. It captivates by its certain simplicity, but at the same time is a very round Jamaican. Of course, you can not expect anything too complex.Nevertheless, a real positive surprise.

Ich mag Jamaika, der ist mir aber etwas zu vornehm und leise!
