Clarendon Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica Single Cask Rum 2000
Not the Jamaica you brace for — this old Clarendon runs low on ester and high on fruit. Apple, mango and mandarin lead, with a distinct salty streak nobody can quite explain and a soft honeyed sweetness some read as almost sweetened. The 25 years round it right off, so even at 61% the alcohol sits well integrated. One taster clocked a "dry almost agricole like quality" underneath.

How does Clarendon Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica Single Cask Rum 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Round, fruity low-ester Clarendon, easy at 61% Most call it round, fruity and easy to sip despite the proof. A few find it pleasant but unremarkable — a very good mid-shelf Clarendon rather than a wow bottle.

#6341 06/08.02.2026 My first visit to The Village in Nuremberg and it was a very pleasant surprise. I will definitely attend again as there is more than enough rum going around. Despite this rum being a low ester, the age has become it very well in my mind. Fruity and well balanced with very good ABV integration. Unfortunately I did not succeed in getting a bottle, but that may have been lucky because I spent far too much on the event as such.

Hanse Spirit Hamburg Februar 2026. Auch dieser Clarendon gehört nicht zu den besten. Ist zwar relativ fruchtig und auch Kräuter lassen sich erkennen, aber irgendwie nicht mein Ding. Vielleicht wegen dem Salz, obwohl ich das eigentlich mag ;)
Review by Skyfly
Sehr runder Clarendon, dem die lange Lagerung sehr gut getan hat. Das Holz ist auch nicht zu markant; salzige und süße Aromen (Konfekt) harmonieren gut, wobei die Süße fast schon als gesüßt empfunden werden kann. Alkohol wirklich gut eingebunden.
Review by Frank
Sample von der HanseSpirit‘26. Ein ganz feiner, alter Clarendon, der einige Konzentration verdient. Nase: fast schon zurückhaltende, sehr feine Nase. Er startet zunächst mit einer lieblichen, honigsüßen Weichheit, floral und blumig aber zugleich auch pflanzlich. Eine frisch geschnittene Rose kommt mir in den Sinn. Mango oder Papaya passen auch. Etwas dagegen steht eine leichte Joghurt-Note und der Geruch von Karton. Hinten wird er kräuteriger mit getrocknetem Thymian, Basilikum und etwas Süßholz. Sehr geschmeidig und einfach schön. 8,6 Gaumen: erneut elegant und fein. Da geht ganz viel, sehr dicht beieinander ab. Umgehend kommt eine florale, blumige Süße und eine zarte Mandarinen-Note. Dazu ordentlich Früchtebrot mit Zitronat und Orangeat. Süße und speckige Tonkabohne zusammen mit Backgewürz und Süßholz. Auch finde ich wieder etwas pflanzliches Richtung Kamille und Sesam. Sehr ungewöhnlicher, zurückhaltender, feiner und dadurch interessanter Low-Low-Ester Clarendon. 8,4

Nachtrag von der Village'26. Verkostet bei den Jungs von Kirsch/FRC. Für mich keine außergewöhnliche Abfüllung die ich unbedingt gebrauchen würde. Für einen 2000er Clarendon fehlt mir aber ein Vergleich. Mein Fazit aber denoch sehr gut.
Review by Christian Rudt
Mal wieder ein kontinental gereifter Clarendon. Bringt viel Salz mit (wo FRC das hergeholt hat ? 🤔 Dazu kommen etwas Kräuter. Und ordentlich Frucht. Besonders Apfel und Mango lassen sich hier schmecken. Insgesamt gut trinkbare Abfüllung, die auch im Finish noch ausreichend Fruchtpower mitbringt. Tatsächlich überraschend gut gelungen.
Review by DomM
Well balanced and accessible. Long time in the cask made this Clarendon very round. Low ester mark.

#1768 Whisky Watcher Tasting 11-04-2026 - Rate 8.5 Again FRC puts out a great bottle. They are turning in to one of my favorite bottler’s. They had a really strong 2025. I like the dry almost agricole like quality that old Clarendon has.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Solider Clarendon, Easy Sipper, nicht allzu komplex. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Etwas tropische Früchte, leichte Ester. Auf der Zunge adstringierend, leicht bittere Holznote. Für mich ein klassischer Mittelklasse Rum, nix Besonderes, aber auch nicht schlecht. Sample reicht (mir) allerdings völlig aus.
Review by Arya_NBV
25 Jahre (10 tropisch). Sehr rund!! Trotz 61% und frisch eröffneter Flasche kein stechen in der Nase. Gut integrierter Alkohol. Geschmacklich fast wie ein Port mourant. Salzlake und Olive. Molliger warmer Nachklang.
Review by Jo Hoo
Schöner Jamaicaner der eher milderen Sorte, sehr lecker ohne zu anstrengend im Ester zu sein.
