Tropical vs Continental Aging - Wedderburn - 2 Bottles

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

Maturation at the distillery, barrel storage in Europe, both in combination: Matured rum is so diverse partly because, in addition to the cask type, the climatic conditions primarily influence its development. With the Scheer Velier Main Rum Range, rum fans have the opportunity 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, for whom this is the first collaboration in its approximately 300-year history.

The extraordinary series consists of four Jamaican Pot Still rums from the traditional Monymusk Distillery, two of which were aged tropically and two continentally. MMW Wedderburn 11 y.o. are blends of 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 those who have the rums in their glass will also recognize the difference in ester content, aroma, and alcohol content. The bottlings are available as a set, but also individually.
