Velier & Scheer Clarendon Wedderburn Continental Aging MMW
Sip this neat and give it real air — 20-30 minutes — or the solvent and glue up front won't budge. After that you get flambéed banana and pineapple, marzipan, a bit of chocolate. But the palate splits people: several find it turns bitter, woody and metallic, with the fruit fading and 63.9% of heat poking through. One member called it "not that harmonious no matter how long you let it breathe."
The community says- Marzipan-banana nose
- Flambéed tropical fruit
- But: Bitter, metallic palate

The look inside the bottle
How does Velier & Scheer Clarendon Wedderburn Continental Aging MMW taste?
Aggregated from 54 community reviews.
Hot, bitter high-ester Jamaican for the patient Divisive continental-aged Wedderburn. The nose wins fans (marzipan, banana, honey), but many find the palate too bitter, peppery and short on Jamaica. A few can't finish it.

Finally got to sample the other half of this package. Lovely rum which needs to rest 20-30 minutes to get the full package off flavours Lightly dry and a slight bitterness with some fruits and chocolate. The glass the day after is really nice on the nose.

On the nose is pretty nice, better than the tropical, with honey marzipan and some hints of grappa. This dramatically changes while drinking, extremely bitter and metallic, a great astringency but little taste, mainly chemical, and only a little floral note. It's a no.
Review by Filip Šikula
Velier's project where you have a unique opportunity to compare two identical barrels, the same age, from the same distillery. Basically siblings, where one stayed in the Caribbean and was aged tropically, while the other was aged continentally in Europe. An extraordinary opportunity.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose still wonderfully fruity and mild, the palate is rather disappointing! Too bitter and woody... the fruit is completely lost and the alcohol is poorly integrated! Overall, however, slightly better than its tropical brother
Review by Michael Schou
07-03-2026 - Rate 7.5 Whiskymessen Kolding 2026 We took the continental flavored first. Expect the tropical one to be best of the two. Actually a nice taste. Not that much into the flavor. Has to much of a continental vibe. A good rum.
Review by Michael Nørregaard
Retasting at home, watching “blodkysten - pax massilia” After giving the time it was better than previous tasting
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Cool Velier and Scheer E.A. project. 11yr old Wedderburn one cask continentially aged one tropical. Difference in colour is very noticable. The tropical one is much darker + more alcohol.
Review by Christoph
Apple with chocolate meets barrel aromas. It could be so delicious were my other associations not sharp and pungent. Diluting with the tropical version makes it milder although it increases the alcohol content.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Imbottigliamento sempre off topic : la stessa mela si ritrova nel Emb, Più piacevole , alcool meglio integrato . Stile mmw esce con note di burro e cacao , corpo watery
Review by ccajerem
Voici un rhum mal aimé et pourtant... 👃 typique d'un jamaicain. Il faut lui laisser 10 bonnes minutes d'aération pour que ses notes de solvant et de colle laissent place à des notes de banane et ananas flambées. 👄 puissante, on sent bien les presque 70 degrés. Le solvant laisse la place aux fruits tropicaux bien mûrs et flambés. Finale moyenne. Un excellent heavy rum qui mérite d'être redécouvert mais qui ne peut être apprécié si on a le courage de vouloir se frotter à ce genre de rhums très puissants.
Review by Michal S
Interesting, not to drink.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
nice experiment between Continental and tropical aging but unfortunately both rums are almost not drinkable for me...the continental in the case rather reminds of a mixture of Williams pear and glue.... not harmonious no matter how long you let him breathe and in the finish totally after burnt plastic...
Review by Daniel
Nase: Vergorene Ananas als markanteste Vertreterin der tropischen Früchte. Lack, Kräuter und eine frische Note neben dem opulenten Alkoholauftritt. Gaumen: Die Frische bleibt zurück, ansonsten findet man alle Aromen der Nase wieder. Zusätzlich Holz und deutliche Bitterkeit. Abgang: Holzig, bitter, Honig. Fazit: Milder und frischer als der tropische Bruder. Dennoch werde ich nicht warm mit dieser Serie. Zu scharf, zu pfeffrig und zu wenig Jamaika.
