The Rum Shark 2006 Clarendon Jamaica Single Cask Selection 14yo 69% 700ml is a distinguished release from a new Czech independent bottler, Rum Shark. This particular bottle originates from the Clarendon distillery in Jamaica, known for producing Monymusk rum and the popular Captain Morgan brand. Clarendon, although not as renowned as some of Jamaica’s other distilleries, houses one of the largest pot stills in the Caribbean. The distillery produces both lighter rums with a 1-day fermentation and heavier rums with up to a month-long fermentation process. This limited-edition rum, distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2020, boasts an impressive 14 years of aging. Only 252 bottles of this single cask selection were produced, making it a rare find for rum aficionados. With an ABV of 69%, this rum delivers a robust and complex profile. Upon opening the bottle, you are greeted with a gold color and an array of aromas such as woody, floral, soapy, earthy notes, along with hints of rose, violet, and overripe tropical fruits. The taste is an intriguing blend of spicy, peppery, woody, and menthol flavors, complemented by underlying notes of allspice, copper, and funky esters. The finish is mid-long and warm with woody, vanilla, licorice, charred, mineral, earthy, and leathery flavors. While the alcohol integration may present challenges, the Rum Shark 2006 Clarendon captures the essence of Jamaican rum with its nuanced and layered flavor profile. This bottle provides an insightful glimpse into Clarendon distillery's robust production capabilities, even if it may not be the hidden gem some might seek.
