- Description
- Monymusk's 2015-vintage high-ester rum matured for seven years in ex-bourbon before bottling at cask strength in May 2022. The nose opens with butterscotch, apple pie, and warm spices—clove, cinnamon, nutmeg—while the palate develops banana, digestive biscuits, and crystallised ginger underpinned by creamy vanilla notes. The elevated proof of 65.7% carries these flavours with intensity and grip, finishing with lingering soft spices. Best neat or with a single ice cube to unlock the full ester-forward character.
