Wedderburn Tropical Aging MMW

How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy the dry, woody-spicy profile, long finish and comparison potential. Critics find the alcohol harsh, bitterness dominant and price/value weak. Consensus: interesting, polarising Clarendon for nerds.
If you enjoy dry, punchy Clarendon or high-proof Trinidad-style spice and want to explore tropical vs. continental aging, this is a challenging but rewarding bottle—once given air and a splash of water.
Beginners, those sensitive to 69% ABV, drinkers wanting sweet, rounded Jamaicans, or anyone focused on value for money over geeky project bottles.

Cool Velier and Scheer E.A. project. 11yr old Wedderburn one cask continentially aged one tropical. Difference in colour is very noticable. The tropical one is much darker + more alcohol. Wedderburn/monymusk is pretty outspoken heavy rum. Not easy. The tropical one leans heavy on the chemical funk.
Not my cup of tea. No fruit at all, a lot of wood and spices and a lot of medical, glue, polish notes that drink side are even stronger than on the nose. Not pleasant at all, I can barely finish 2cl in an afternoon
The nose is nice and fruity with esters, wood and spices. In the followup sips I get polish and tobacco. The palate is well balanced, slightly dry and bitter with a wood/fruity start going into spicy pepper. The finish is long and again slightly bitter and dry with barrel and spicy pepper. A nice sipper overall.
hätte nicht gedacht dass mir der tropical aging echt weniger gefällt wie der continental aber hier bleibt leider echt nur noch viel Alkohol, bittere Jod-salbe und verbranntes, verkohltes Holz und Metall und plastik übrig. absolut nicht mein Ding. auch nach einer Std atmen ändert sich hier leider nichts zum positiven!😓 auch ein paar Tropfen ändern hier leider nicht viel ...
