The Velier & E&A Scheer EMB Plummer Comparative Tasting Set offers a unique opportunity to compare two 14-year-old blended rums from the renowned Monymusk Distillery in Jamaica, produced by the respected brand Velier. These rums are pot still distilled from molasses, showcasing the craft and expertise synonymous with Jamaican rum. The set includes two distinct blends: the Tropical Aging blend, marked in red, and the Continental Aging blend, marked in blue. The Tropical Aging blend is a composite of rums from 2006, 2004, and 2002, with an average age of 14 years. It boasts a higher alcohol content and ester level, characteristic of the rich and robust flavors associated with tropical aging. On the palate, this blend is lively and invasive, with pronounced woody notes, a complex structure, and a mature profile. The Continental Aging blend, on the other hand, contains rums from 12 barrels distilled in 2004, also averaging 14 years in age. This blend features a lower alcohol content and ester level, resulting in a more generous and concentrated profile. The tasting experience reveals delightful pastry notes, along with hints of almond milk, butterscotch, and nougatine, offering a relatively light and slightly ethereal character with floral and slightly bitter undertones. Both rums are recommended to be tasted with a little water to fully appreciate their distinct aromas and flavors. This set is a must-have for rum enthusiasts and collectors, providing an unparalleled opportunity to compare and contrast two exceptional rums from the same distillery but with different aging processes, highlighting their unique characteristics.
