Holmes Cay Clarendon Jamaica Wedderburn 2011

Clarendon fans rate this near the top; a few others respect it but say it just isn't their profile. Varnish and green apple lead the nose, then petrol, leather, pineapple and a good chunk of oak for a 10-year-old. At 59% it runs warm, and one taster caught a spirity edge on the finish that pulls the score down a touch.

The community says
  • Refined Clarendon funk
  • Lots of oak
  • Spirity finish

The look inside the bottle

How does Holmes Cay Clarendon Jamaica Wedderburn 2011 taste?

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.

Woody, funky Clarendon pot-still at cask strength Praised as one of the better Wedderburn expressions if you already love Clarendon; others call it enjoyable but not the bottle that blows you away. A slightly hot finish is the recurring gripe.

Perfect for

Clarendon fans and Jamaican pot-still drinkers

Less suitable for

newcomers put off by heat and funk

One of my favorite rums and one of the best Wedderburn expression I’ve ever tried. Intense but refined. If you enjoy Clarendon rum, this is a fantastic bottle you won’t regret.

A fantastic rum. Worth the money and one that I’ve nursed for a while now. Very enjoyable if you’re into Clarendon rums.

Beautiful nose and quite a lot of wood in the taste for such a "not old" rum. In the finish then unfortunately a tangy note that clouds the overall picture somewhat.thanks for the sample of this rare bottle!

Solid Clarendon...cool to have such a rare bottle in Europe, but is just not my profile.
