Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Agricoler
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.
Review by Serge
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.
Review by Rummiamo
Rum on invecchiamento continentale davvero strepitoso.
Review by w00tAN
EMB 14 Direktvergleich: In der Nase etwas sprittiger mit erstaunlich floralen Noten. Leichte Würze und etwas von Obstler? Im Mund erinnert er mich an Cognac, schöne Frucht (Stachelbeere) gut eingebundener Alkohol. Kräftiger Abgang Pfefferig und etwas burnt.
Review by Anonymous
also here too much ester in the rum, which covers the whole taste and flavors. but also in the coffee or tea well drinkable 😉
Review by Tom Buteneers
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.
Review by Wernie
Direktvergleich der beiden Clarendons, unschwer zu erraten wer hier der klare Sieger ist. Dieser kontinentale punktet am ehesten noch mit seiner Nase, wobei die auch sehr leicht ist. Gelbe Früchte, Lack,florale kräutrige Noten,dazu leicht muffige Mullbinde ala Guyana. Am Gaumen verdammt schlecht eingebundener Alkohol. Leichte Honigsüße, dann bitter, scharf und holzig. Das ganze zieht sich in den Abgang. Nicht mein Fall.
Review by Thunderbird
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
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
hat eher was von einem sehr jungen medizinischem Port Mourant oder einem schlechten fassgereiften Gin... leider auch hier wieder sehr unausgewogen und scharfkantig.
Review by Christoph
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.
Review by Gregor
Nase: Helle Früchte, Birne, weisse Trauben, grüne Äpfel, etwas Leim Gaumen: Vanillesüsse, Holz, Hafer, Birne, etwas Zimt, Zitrone, etwas zu Alkoholisch, metallern.
Review by Master P
Alkohol ist viel zu stark im Vordergrund, brennt auch lang nach. Schade hatte mir mehr erhofft. Es fehlt auch das funky flavor
Review by Przemysław Siwik
quite disappointing for a velier name
Review by Daniel
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.
