Velier & Scheer Clarendon Plummer Continental Aging EMB

 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.

 Overpowering alcohol that doesn’t incorporate very well, even after a long time it’s still dominating. At the beginning a rum with a high “whisky vibe” for me. Compared to the tropically aged version clearly the lesser one of the two.

 also here too much ester in the rum, which covers the whole taste and flavors. but also in the coffee or tea well drinkable 😉

 In contrast to the tropical version, the alcohol is no fun here. The fruit is almost completely absent, but spicy barrel notes such as marzipan predominate. Overall, however, far too alcoholic to concentrate on aromas here, which is a shame, as there are moments when something chocolaty flashes up before the alcohol blows it away again.

 In the nose, after the alcohol slowly gives way, very fruity! Unfortunately, it loses this fruitiness on the palate again! In the end, a peppery spiciness (alcohol) remains, which becomes very bitter in the finish! For me, the MMW is clearly the better one

 hat eher was von einem sehr jungen medizinischem Port Mourant oder einem schlechten fassgereiften Gin... leider auch hier wieder sehr unausgewogen und scharfkantig.

 Nase: Helle Früchte, Birne, weisse Trauben, grüne Äpfel, etwas Leim Gaumen: Vanillesüsse, Holz, Hafer, Birne, etwas Zimt, Zitrone, etwas zu Alkoholisch, metallern.

 Rum on invecchiamento continentale davvero strepitoso.

 quite disappointing for a velier name

 Alkohol ist viel zu stark im Vordergrund, brennt auch lang nach. Schade hatte mir mehr erhofft. Es fehlt auch das funky flavor

 Nase: Lack und tropische Früchte, nussige Aromen und Getreide ist zu vernehmen. Gaumen: kurzer, fruchtiger Auftakt, dann Getreidenoten, bevor eine langanhaltende Pfefferdominanz einsetzt. Danach Holz. Abgang: Es bleibt der Pfeffer und Bitterkeit. Fazit: Ein Rum, der meinen Geschmack nicht trifft. Zuviel Pfeffer, der die restlichen Aromen unterdrückt.
