This exceptional pot still rum is the result of a collaboration between Scheer and Velier. The rum was produced in the Monymusk distillery in 2007/2008 and then aged for 11 years in a tropical climate before being bottled in 2019 with an ester content of 315.6 grams per hectoliter.

Aging at the distillery, cask storage in Europe, both in combination: Aged rum is so diverse, partly because in addition to the cask type, the climatic conditions in particular influence its development. With the Scheer Velier Main Rum Range, rum fans have the chance to draw a direct comparison between purely tropical and purely continental aged rums. Behind the experiment are the Italian bottler Velier, led by the passionate rum pioneer Luca Gargano, and the renowned Dutch broker E.A. Scheer, in whose approximately 300-year history this is the first collaboration.

The extraordinary series consists of four Jamaican pot still rums from the traditional Monymusk Distillery, two of which matured tropically and two continentally. MMW Wedderburn 11 y.o. are blends from two casks distilled in 2007 and 2008. The two EMB Plummer 14 y.o. rums were blended from casks filled in 2002, 2004, and 2006. For better differentiation, there are red (tropical aging) and blue labels (continental aging) – but anyone who has the rums in a glass will recognize the difference anyway: in terms of ester content, aroma, and alcohol content. The bottlings are available as a set, but also individually.
