We consider the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of the blazar 1ES 2344+514 in 2003 in comparison with the data of its ASM/RXTE X-ray monitoring. A VHE gamma-ray flux was detected from the observed object at a confidence level of ≈ 5σ and it was estimated to be 1.85 ± 0.68 Crab (E ≳ 1 TeV). The observations revealed a VHE gamma-ray burst from the object that occurred in September 2003 and that lasted for no more than 4 days. The burst was also confirmed in the X-ray (2-12 keV) energy range. Analysis of the observational data showed evidence of a correlation between the fluxes in the two energy ranges and invoking the previous observations of 1ES 2344+514 in 2002 allowed this correlation to be refined in a wide range of fluxes.
