Velier & Scheer Clarendon Plummer Continental Aging EMB 2004
Most praise the interesting nose and comparison value to the tropical EMB. Critics find the alcohol harsh, bitterness dominant and fruit lacking. Consensus: educational, but demanding and divisive.
Seasoned Jamaican fans who enjoy dissecting high-ester Clarendon, like side‑by‑side comparisons of continental vs tropical aging, and don’t mind diluting a cask‑strength rum to tame bitterness.

21.02.2020 A small private event where we borrowed the basement bar area for a private tasting and also had a go at their food. Notes. Light in colour. Nose Round, wood, fruity, pineapple, light ester. Palate Round, wood, light roasted, banana, citrus, light chocolate, light ester. Finish Medium long, wood, fruits, light roasted, chocolate, medium dry.
Phew, somehow something is missing from all of them. Overall, the bitterness is really at the limit. Tried it today after dilution and I have to say it's a clear improvement. Undiluted a 7. Now and then the dilution is worth it.
Auto-translatedDirektvergleich der beiden EMBs von Velier & Scheer. Die Rums sind beide nicht die stärksten, demonstrieren aber den Unterschied zwischen kontinentaler und tropischer Lagerung sehr gut. Der kontinentale zeigt sich fruchtig mit gelber Frucht, süß, floral und filigraner. Der tropisch gereifte eher würzig, holzig mit vergorenen Früchten und Tanninen. Kein Geheimnis, dass meine Präferenz immer bei der tropisch gereiften Variante liegt.
