Monymusk MMW 11 Years Old Velier / E&A Scheer - Tropical vs Continental Aging is a unique rum that offers a deep dive into the intriguing world of aging processes. This expression hails from the prestigious Clarendon Distillery in Jamaica, known for its high-quality rum production. The rum is aged for 11 years, which allows it to develop a rich and complex flavor profile, treasured by both enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
Clarendon Distillery uses molasses as the base ingredient for this rum. The fermentation and distillation are executed with precision using the traditional pot still method. This method is known for producing rums with intense and robust flavors, often with fruity and estery notes characteristic of Jamaican rums.
This particular release is bottled by Velier, a bottler with a sterling reputation for selecting some of the finest and rarest rums from around the world. Velier has partnered with E&A Scheer, another big name in the spirits industry, to offer a distinctive comparison. The concept behind this release is to highlight the differences between tropical aging and continental aging.
The pack includes two bottles, each with a volume of 70 cl. One bottle contains rum aged entirely in the tropical climate of Jamaica, while the other is aged under the more temperate conditions of continental Europe. This allows aficionados to experience firsthand how the environment affects the characteristics of the rum.
Aging rum in the tropics usually accelerates the interaction between the spirit and the wood, leading to bolder flavors. Meanwhile, aging in a continental climate tends to be slower, often resulting in a rum that has more subtle and refined taste nuances. This side-by-side comparison is a fantastic opportunity for rum lovers to expand their understanding of how aging environments impact the final product.
With its dual aging approach and robust production method, the Monymusk MMW 11 Years Old Velier / E&A Scheer is not just a bottle of rum, but a journey through the art of rum making. Whether you are a collector or a casual sipper, this release offers a rare chance to explore and appreciate the complexities of rum aging.
