Velier & Scheer Clarendon Wedderburn Tropical Aging MMW

"This is interesting one.. After reading all the nice informations on the bottle, I expected a lot more from this one! This is more like a dry clarendon and more on the woodier side. The alcohol is integrated well. To be honest, the price per value rating is horrible…"

"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."

"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. "

"Tastes good to me but the alcohol could be better integrated."

"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"

"Initially restrained on the nose, then sweet and sour, fermented! Pure spice on the palate! The alcohol is not well integrated! The rum is rather mediocre"

"A fruity chocolate fondue on the nose, then the freshness of my mouthwash mixed with metal braces on the palate. It is super interesting to see the comparison between tropical and continental maturation, but the bottlings are simply not what you are "used to" from Velier."

"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 ... "

"Better than Continental, but not for casual drinking either."

"Nase: Vergorene Ananas als markanteste Vertreterin der tropischen Früchte. Lack, Kräuter und eine frische Note neben dem opulenten Alkoholauftritt. Gaumen: Die Frische bleibt zurück, ansonsten findet man alle Aromen der Nase wieder. Zusätzlich Holz und deutliche Bitterkeit. Abgang: Kakao, bitter, Honig. Fazit: Dicker, süßlicher und alkoholischer als der kontinentaler Bruder. Werde auch mit diesem Vertreter der Serie nicht warm. Zu wenig Jamaika, zu viel Pfeffer. Klare Absage."
