The Bottle Shop Clarendon Jamaica Rum 2007
Glue, varnish and solvent lead the nose — the Clarendon signature — with tropical fruit and a menthol-cool edge running underneath. At nearly 80% this is a genuine power house, yet most tasters say the alcohol sits better integrated than the number warns. Neat it runs hot and needs water; one member found it too one-note and mostly minty. A 19-year pot-still Jamaican for people who already chase this style.

- Tamed at 79%

Cask-strength Clarendon: glue, solvent, menthol Early tasters rate it high — a well-priced, powerful Clarendon with the alcohol tamed for its strength. One found it too monotone and minty neat, so water helps.

Review by zabo
Kompliment an Stefan vom Bottleshop wieder ein gute Fassauswahl, was ihr hier getroffen habt. Für den hohen ABV ist der Alkohol schon gar nicht so schlecht eingebunden. Ein klasse Clarendon, freue mich schon drauf, wenn meine Flasche demnächst eintrifft.
Review by DomM
Absolute powerhouse. Very intense yet not overwhelming as the ABV number suggests. For me, so far the best 2007 MM/Clarendon.

#7257 29.08.2026 Tasted at the German Rum Festival 2026. This is a really nice bottling and the price tag is also very good in my mind. My quick notes from tasting. Fruity, spice, pastries, ester, roasted wood, caramel, dry, salt, mint, glue.
Review by Kryštof Skrbek
Tasted at the GRF in Berlin and it immediately impressed me. Personally, I would guess EMB, but I'm not sure. What is certain, however, is that this is an absolute great value winner. Alongside a huge amount of tropical fruits, the nose also shows notes of solvents, spices, and varnish – characteristic of Clarendon. On the palate, there is then an explosion of fruity aromas, including candied fruits and marzipan. Slight glue notes, a bit low on esters, and a light menthol accompaniment. Almost 80% ABV, aged 19 years, 15 of those tropical. It really is an exceptional rum.
Review by The Specialist
Wow. Absolute powerhouse. Despite the nearly 80% ABV, the alcohol is really well integrated and not disturbing or harsh. I also tend to lean towards EMB without knowing for sure. But the typical notes are definitely there. The price is absolutely top and I really like it 👍.
