Got this sample 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.
Overall a great rum with a fantastic nose as well as a fantastic finish.

Sampled at the King Kahuna Lounge on 12-9-23. Pours a sepia-colored amber brown. Aroma has a mild hogo, but what I really am reminded of is the grains in a single malt whiskey. Hot and strong, but filled with rich dark fruits plums and dates, but a leathery almost tannin taste as well. Caramel sweetness opens with a few drops of water.

Alkohol: 69,5 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Cedr, kalafuna, těžká exotická dřevitost, kakao, peprmintová čokoláda, za tím trocha ředidla. (86 b)
Chuť: Plná, hutná chuť, se spoustou vjemů. Dřevitý výluh, cedr, dokonce až slanost, pak zase do sladka, ve stylu žvýkačky Pedro. (88 b)
Body: 87/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnán s kamarádem na naší srpnové akci. Tenhle čtyřtest se srovnávací sadou tropického a kontinentálního staření byl hodně náročný. Daný styl rumu se mi extrémně těžce popisuje a k tomu ta brutální síla 63,9, 64,7, 69 a 69,5% alkoholu, no byla to fuška.

bought this bottle last year at the end of summer, i really wanted a Velier bottle and i m happy that i bought it, i m not a great fan of Jamaican rum but this one i have to admit is the best Jamaican i tried ...
opened the bottle for my bday, you feel this very specific Jamaican taste called Jamaican funk but the rum is a concentrate of aromas and flavors, i recommend to add a drop or two of water because of the high alcohol percentage and if you smoke, try it with a medium/strong cigar after a good meal
conclusion: an expensive bottle and very hard to find (they make all in limited quantities) but
worth to buy it and now i m sure that i will buy more of that brand if/when i ll find them ...

Solid but nothing particularly great or interesting.

Mělo by se jednat o blend: 10 sudů EMB 2006, 2 sudy EMB 2004 a 4 sudy EMB 2002. Výsledný blend má 324,5g/hlpa esterů.
Jedná se o společný projekt mezi E&A Scheer (Nizozemí) a Velierem (Itálie).

Aroma: Krásně ovocné (ananas, banány) s příměsí lepidla, ředidla a máty. Navíc se objevuje odér připomínající výfukový plyn ze starého auta.
Chuť: Těžká, velmi drsná a pálivá. Procenta jsou opravdu nekompromisní.
Dozvuk: Technický - spousta nafty a asfaltu. Příjemná ovocnost a máta se mísí s asfaltovým oparem. Velmi dlouhý.
Sladkost: 0/3
Ochutnán vzorek / Celá lahev
Tak tato ochutnávka mě neskutečně bavila! Rozdíly mezi geograficky odlišným stařením rumů jsou propastné. Nejsou si vůbec ani zdaleka podobné.
Tropical Aging je ovocný a velmi technický rum - Jamajku ani moc nepřipomíná. Podobá se spíše "dehťákům" z Trinidadu.

- vůně příjemná, tropické ovoce, banán dominantní, bylinky
- chuť žádná sladkost, zpočátku 69,5% dává hodně o sobě vědět, přechází v jemnost, bylinky
závěr dlouhý, typická Jamajka

I'll admit, I'm a cocktail wonk, so I was hoping that this was going to be something close to the 17 yo. or at least the 15 yo. Wray & Nephew Jamaican rum Vic Trader used for the original Mai Tai cocktail. After having tested it, I'm quite sure it isn't. I first tried it with some water, diluted down to approximately 45% vol. It had a very strong smell of glue, not at all pleasant. And the taste was very bitter, tannic from the long tropical aging in oak. I'm no hater of bitter drinks, but this was really strikingly bitter. I then used it in a Mai Tai, again diluted down to approximately 45% vol. It was OK, I'm sure the original Mai Tai didn't taste like this, but this tasted interesting, not sweet nor heavenly, but more wine-like, spicy, aromatic, a bit grassy.

EDIT: Well, there you go, testing a 14 years old pot still Jamaican after a mostly dry January! I gave it another try now and I have to relativise my first impressions; it is somewhat tannic, but not really bitter. The esters do have a glue-like punch, but the esters in the Appleton 12 yo. rare blend are also quite stingy and not fruity (although much less intense!). There is a deep, dark, wooden character to this rum, a smell reminiscent of old books.
