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.

    Educational but sharp continental Clarendon
    Who is this rum for?

    If you’re curious how continental aging changes a Clarendon EMB and you’re comfortable tweaking proof in the glass, this bottle rewards analysis—just don’t expect an easygoing or very fruity pour.

    Not really suitable for

    Newcomers, those sensitive to strong alcohol or bitterness, and drinkers expecting juicy fruit or an easy, sweet sipper at this price point.

    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-translated

    Direktvergleich 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.

    Rum on invecchiamento continentale davvero strepitoso.
