Velier & Scheer Clarendon Plummer Tropical Aging EMB
Glue, varnish and toasted wood up front, with tropical fruit — pineapple, mango, banana — fighting through nearly 70% ABV. This tropically-aged Clarendon Plummer runs woody, peppery and dry, with leather and a long, bitter finish. Most tasters rank it over its continental sibling but agree the alcohol stays sharp and a little hot, even after a long rest in the glass.
- Tropical fruit notes
- Long warm finish
- Beats continental version

Review by Sebastian Kornett
You have to drink it with caution. The almost 70% alc. have quite a bit of bang. In the finish nice woody and dirty. I'm missing a little support from fruit sweetness in the finish. Otherwise, this is a really good Monymusk for the PRICE.

too much ester. but good to drink in coffee or tea 😉
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a great rum with a fantastic nose as well as a fantastic finish that I got a sample of from my youngest son a month ago. It’s a blend of rum from the Clarendon Distillery selected by Velier and E&A Sheer from casks with rum distilled 2002, 2004 and 2006. It’s bottled 2020 which gives it’s 14 years old. It’s a pot still destilled rum, tropical aged on site in Jamaica with an ester level of 324.5 gr/hlap which gives that it’s a “Plummer" (EMB) category of the distillery. The nose is complex, smooth, round, fruity, oaky and nutty. At the palate it’s still complex and you can feel the ABV. After a while and during the long finish you recognize the esters, the fruitiness and all the other aromas as tastes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
as if you would chew with fishermen's friend in the mouth on completely burnt nutmeg overloaded mashed potatoes and then suck on the leather chair and then on the bicycle hose.... goes me not at all purely...in addition just extremely sharp and alcoholic and penetrating...the whole series of this experiment is for me an absolute failure. have to cough at every single despite >1h breathe due to the Poorly integrated alcohol and the face contorted 😣
Review by Filip Šikula
Tenhle srovnávací projekt je za mě super, a zároveň je velmi zajímavé, které verzi dávají různí mí přátelé přednost. Já sem tábor “tropical”, kde mi ta hromada dřeva na nose i v ústech prostě parádně sedí.
Review by Krogulczyk
I love high hogo rums. But this one is just a little too boring and too sharp. I love the mushroomlike flavour which is supported by honeycomb notes and ethyl acetate flavours. It is all right but not for this money
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.03.2020 Met up with some colleagues to give a tasting at this old iconic place. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose Wood, round, complex, fruity, pineapple, glue, light mint. Palate Oily, wood, spicy, light tar, mint, ester, fruity, banana. Finish Very long and warm, wood, light mint, fruits.
Review by Agricoler
Says to me purely from the nose more like his continental brother. However, taste and finish of my assessment clearly more bitter and woody.Therefore, both on par and definitely not worth their money.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Clearly better on all fronts compared to the continentally aged version. The fruity notes are more present. Also quite alcohol-forward but after a while it integrates a bit better.
Review by Christoph
Not only the color differs significantly here compared to the continental matured version. Even if the alcohol is still disturbing here, the tropical fruits clearly unfold in the smell and taste. In the finish, bitterness and bacon fight against each other, which makes the rum at the end somewhat exhausting because it does not harmonize so properly on the palate.
Review by Rummiamo
Rum difficile che richiede Palato allenato e tempo nel bicchiere per aprirsi bene, almeno 30 minuti. Lasciato respirare emerge tutta la qualità del distillato. Grande rum
Review by Rumclub Latvia
This one are very strong guy
Review by Master P
Besser als der Continental, aber Alkohol brennt auch sehr lang. Zum tasting ok, aber zum Flaschenkauf eher nix
Review by Daniel
Nase: Typische Esternoten inkl. Lack und Gummi sowie dezente Tropenfrüchte. Die Honigsüße kann allerdings nicht über die über die alkoholische Schärfe hinwegtäuschen. Gaumen: Kurzer fruchtiger Auftakt, gefolgt von den Esteraromen inkl. dem Lack. Dann wird’s ungemütlich durch alkoholische Schärfe und langanhaltenden Pfefferauftritt. Abgang: bitter und pfeffrig Fazit: Wahnsinnige Präsens im Gaumen. Das nenne ich vollmundig. Mir jedoch zu forsch und pfeffrig. Also Ecken und Kanten zur Genüge vorhanden. Besser als der kontinentale Bruder, aber weit davon weg mir zu gefallen.
Review by Enriko Špinler
I have mixed feelings about this review. I like strong and technical rums and this one is great. It is strong, without unnecessary sweetness, wonderfully long and warm. The problem for me is the price. For €50 I have TRCL Jamaica 2016 and I get almost the same as with this rum. Anyway, it's a great rum and technical rum lovers must try it. Aroma - alcohol, tropical fruit, varnish, wood Taste - intense, glue, leather, spice and fruit Finish - long, strong, peppery, bitter
Review by Gregor
Angenehme, nussige, Vanille-holzige Nase, würzig, etwas Ananas und Mango. Im Gaumen holzig, Röstaroma, etwas Mango aber auch zu viel Alkohol.

Unfortunately, this is so far the worst Monymusk I have drunk and tasted!
