Monymusk 1998/2022 23 Year Old AHJ Single Cask #26761 (70cl, 59.4%)

A 23-year-old Jamaican aged rum from the Clarendon Distillery, distilled from molasses in a pot still and carrying the AHJ mark. It was filled into American oak ex-bourbon barrel number 26761 on 4 November 1998, matured first in Jamaica and then in Scotland, and bottled by Rest & Be Thankful on 5 September 2022 at cask strength 59.4% without chill filtration or colour, yielding 181 bottles after over 39% evaporation loss. The rum combines tropical fruit with subtle vanilla, sweet and spicy impressions and a warm oak finish. The nose shows intense tropical fruit with a hint of vanilla; the palate is full-bodied and layered, with sweetness and spice in balance; the finish is long, warm and gently sweet with oak notes.
