Perola Long Pond & Clarendon Bellamy‘s Reserve Rum Jamaica Pot Still Rum
Anyone curious about Jamaican rum but not ready for full-on funk lands well here. Long Pond brings pineapple and mango, Clarendon adds a yogurt-buttery tang, with banana and a young-oak spice underneath. Several tasters call it "a good entry level Jamaican," rounded and fruity. The catch: at 43% it reads a touch thin and the palate fades fast for some.
The community says- Pineapple-mango fruit
- Easy entry point

How does Perola Long Pond & Clarendon Bellamy‘s Reserve Rum Jamaica Pot Still Rum taste?
Aggregated from 85 community reviews.
Easy, fruity first Jamaican, fades fast Most see a friendly, fruity intro to Jamaica at a fair price. A few wanted more punch — it's mild for the style and the flavor thins out quickly on the finish.

Review by Schnapsschuesse
Sehr mild und angenehm in der Nase. Wirkt hauptsächlich überreif, süßlich und leicht medizinisch. Wirkt deutlich runder, aber dadurch auch weniger charakterstark in seiner Herkunft als andere Jamaikaner. Am Gaumen sehr dunkel, aber vor allem auffällig dick und ölig für seine Prozente und Preisklasse. Etwas Ester aber vor allem würzigere Noten und dunkles Holz, generell etwas 'fermentiert'. Mag ich deutlich mehr als die klassischen Einstiege ins Thema Jamaica.
Review by Montana
Ein sehr fruchtiges Aroma, süßlich, etwas scharf und alkoholisch, etwas nach Sherry. Der Geschmack ist leicht dunkel, würzig, aromatisch, angenehm.
Review by Gregor
Seher schönes preis Leistungsverhältnis. Rundum ein. Schöner jamaikaner. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist das zu wenig Prozente hat und somit nicht lange auf der Zunge bleibt sondern schnell weg ist.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
There is a lot of fruit on the palate - pineapple and mango, but also a little sweetness and banana. There is very little wood present. The finish is not too sharp, but something is missing here, because the aromas disappear very quickly.

Guter Einstieg in die jamaikanische Ester-Fraktion.

Hooodně dobrá slivovice... Těžko dopít i štamprlu
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Sweet nose tones and fruity and a bit estheric taste. Nice Jamaica.
Review by Johannes
Guter Blend, schöne Balance! Zuerst Clarendon, dann im Abgang kommt eine fruchtigere Long Pond-Note durch.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very round, beginner-friendly Jamaica rum. the typical pineapple mango notes from Long Pond harmonize perfectly with the butyric acid, yoghurt notes from Clarendon. the whole thing is nice and dry and complex and at a very fair price 💯🇯🇲
Review by HenryL
Etwas pfeffrig, würziger Jamaikaner. Für mich optimal um jemandem der noch nie mit Jamaikarum in Kontakt gekommen zu zeigen dahinter steckt.
Review by Serge
Etwas dünn und jung, aber schöner Blend aus Clarendon und Long Pond. Guter Jamaika Einstieg, aber hauptsächlich ein bezahlbarer Blend für Cocktails.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 This is a retaste and I still think it's pretty decent. Notes. Now this one is better than the others. Nice esters and fruits with a spicy touch. Love the natural sweetness. There is a faint caramel note in the profile.
Review by Mirco
Einsteigerfreundlicher Jamaica Blend. Schön ausgewogen mit viel Süsse. Sample aus dem RumX Gewinnspiel. Besten Dank an Philipp & Perola!!
Review by DomM
Nice blend to dip one‘s toes into Jamaican territory. Very accessible, yet enough to discover to spend some time with this.
Review by Boletus
Ein ordentlicher Rum, der sich ganz gut pur trinken lässt, dessen grünstichige Frischholznoten mir aber auf Dauer ein wenig zu herb sind, weshalb er mir als Mixer deutlich besser gefällt. Insgesamt aber ein guter und günstiger Einstieg in die Aromenwelt Jamaikas.
Review by Werner10
A good entry level Jamaican. Rounded and very fruity profile.
Review by cigares
Bellamy tasting. A nose full of ripe fruit and funk. Very Jamaican with young wood. The palate doesn't live up to the promise of the nose, with a not very pleasant bitterness, fruit and yoghurt. The wood is a little more pronounced. The finish is short and the rum too diluted for my taste. A fine nose, but neither the palate nor the finish live up to the nose's promise.
Review by Leo Krüper
Ordentlicher Einsteiger Jamaikaner. Nichts komplexes oder anspruchsvolles. Etwas lasche Nase, dafür voller Geschmack im Mund. Tolles PLV
