Product description
Rum from the Jamaican Monymusk distillery, made from molasses, distilled in pot stills and matured in American bourbon oak barrels.
The result of a collaboration between the Dutch company Sheer and the Italian Velier. This is one of two parts of a project aimed at enabling rum lovers to compare – rum from the same distillery but matured in two different climates. Here we have a rum matured entirely in the tropics, but Sheer and Velier have also released an identical rum, which however was matured not in Jamaica but in the English climate of Liverpool.
Velier SVM aged 14 years EMB Tropical Aging Rum is a blend of distillates from 10 barrels from the 2006 vintage, 2 barrels from 2004 and 4 barrels from 2002.
Aroma : Apricots, bananas, mango, mustard, beeswax and camphor.
Taste: Wood, forest mushrooms, fruit, chocolate, herbs, pipe tobacco.
Finish: Long, with notes of honey, chocolate and cinnamon.
