Clarendon & Worthy Park & Hampden RA Rum of Jamaica 2018
"Really good for people who enjoy the taste of Jamaica but don't like the massive hit of cask funk," as one member put it. Expect banana, glue, tropical fruit and a touch of plum-cinnamon, with mild, gentle esters. At 40% it reads soft and, for several tasters, watery. A friendly Jamaican starter and a reliable Cuba Libre mixer.
The community says- Gentle esters
- Banana and fruit

Mild, banana-heavy Jamaican starter rum Most call it a gentle, well-priced first Jamaican with banana and light glue. The common gripe: watery at 40%, and flat next to Hampden or Worthy Park.

Review by Kieron Wood
Smells , tinned peaches , funk tobacco smoke . Slight taste of lowered down wray and nephew .light funk that doesn't be long on the finish .. Really good for people who enjoy the taste of Jamica but don't like th massive hit of cask funks ..
Review by R Wehner
Nase leichter Jamaikaner; Zunge mild, bissel Jamaika, Süße, Rosine, aber irgendwie doch gut zusammen passend, pur geht gut, mixen bestimmt auch, für das PLV toll!
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein guter Rum, mir gefallen die Artesanals. In der Nase hat man tropische Früchte, Ester und einen leichten Klebstoffgeruch. Im Gaumen kommt dann ein alkoholischen Geschmack dazu und wie ich meine auch eine leichte Kaffeenote. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Top.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Gemiddeld, had er misschien wat meer van verwacht... maar maakt me vooral benieuwd naar andere expressies van RA. Denk dat dit “maar” een instapper is, alsook in het Jamaicaanse profiel. De geur is zoeter dan de smaak en ik mis wat diepte erin. Afdronk is teleurstellend.

Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by Michael Schillheim
My second bottle is now coming to an end. A simple Jamaican that has everything you need to introduce newcomers to rum from Jamaica. It also delivers well in the vola direction and has a very good PLV. However, I now give it 0.3 points less than 2 years ago.
Review by Jürgen Sch.
Riecht schlecht, Geschmack so lala.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
On the nose very classic Jamaican: high estery pineapples. Intense but light in wood and style. Not a bad start. Taste: a lot more watery than expected. Yet all the flavours are here. Dry. This might actually be a great gateway to the more funky Jamaican rum for starters. It doesn't hold back on the esters but is a bit too watered down. This would be great at 46 or 48%
Review by Master P
Mild Jamaican nose with hints of glue. As expected, a relaxed Jamaican rum on the palate, with an exciting light note of stewed plums and cinnamon. A lovely sweetish banana note on the finish. Overall, a relaxed rum with a top PLV. A great introduction to Jamaica, perfect for mixing in the cuba
Review by HenryL
Milde Jamaikanase mit Klebstoffanklängen. Auch am Gaumen wie erwartet ein entspannter Jamaikarum, spannend ist eine leichte Note von Pflaumen-Zimt-Kompott. Im Abgang eine schöne süßliche Bananennote. Insgesamt ein entspannter Rum mit einem top PLV. Toller Jamaikaeinstieg, für den erfahrener Trinker aber etwas zu „wässrig“.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Sehr gefällige Einstiegsnase in Jamaica. Klebstoff, Banane, Frucht, junges Holz. Im Prinzip alles was man dem geneigten Einsteiger vermitteln will. Genauso geht's im Geschmack weiter. Weich und angenehm in der Süße, verschiedene Früchte wie Banane und Pflaume kommen deutlich durch. Schwach im Funk, aber das muss hier so. Kurzer Abgang der nach hinten raus dann überraschend trocken ist. Klasse Einstieg in's Thema, spannend auch um Leute an fruchtigere Rum Cocktails heranzuführen. Nachtrag: wirkt nach TECA und WPH geradezu absurd flach und süß. Dennoch ein netter Einstieg und wie von jemand anderem hier erwähnt: sehr gut zum Geschmack von Gästen austesten.

#4665 23.03.2024 Relaxing at home after picking up two sets of online tasting in Flensburg. At the same time planning what to bring to Blåvand when I visit a fellow RumX from Germany. Nose Light, light wood, faint smoke, ester, fruity, light glue. Palate Light, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, sweet. Finish Short, light, light wood, sweet, fruits. Not really me but I think you get what you pay for. The empty glass has citrus and dried fruit.
Review by RumTaTa
Ein guter aber unauffälliger Rum. Die 40% sind recht schwach auf der anderen Seite würde ein höherer Alkoholgehalt wohl nicht viel bringen, da wenig Substanz da ist, die vom Alkohol transportiert werden könnte.
Review by Montana
Ein fruchtiger Geruch, etwas Klebstoff mit Ester, auch etwas Honig. Der Geschmack ist süß, fruchtig.
Review by Richard Krupa
Prijemna jamaica. Ovocna vune a chut jemnejsi nez bych cekal.
Review by DosenZorn
Gerade vom Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ein guter Einstieg für jeden der noch keinen Jamaikaner im Glas hatte. Der Funky Geschmack ist lange nicht so intensiv wie bei den Hampdens aber doch deutlich bemerkbar. Gerade für Besuch gut geeignet um deren Geschmäcker zu ermitteln bevor am Ende der gute Rum dann doch stehen bleibt.
Review by Christian Rudt
in der Nase schön tropisch fruchtig, am Gaumen doch recht deutlich verwässert. insgesamt solide um einen Einstieg in Jamaika-Rum zu bekommen. kann man schön nebenbei trinken. Gutes PLV aber finde da kann man besser ein paar Euro drauf legen und gleich zum Xaymaca von Plantation greifen.
Review by Oliver
Einfacher Jamaikaner zum Reinkommen Kein Klebstoff Lieblich und rund
