Monymusk 2007 SMWS 12 Year Old R1.5

'A little extravagant'

This is a 2007 vintage Monymusk rum, bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. It was initially matured in a refill ex-bourbon barrel before finishing in a new oak HTMC (high toast, medium char) barrel. One of 194 bottles.

Monymusk is the flagship brand of Clarendon rum marketed by majority owners, National Rums of Jamaica. The holding company was established in 1985 and is currently a joint venture between the Jamaican government, Demerara Distillers in Guyana, and Maison Ferrand in France. The Monymusk brand is named after the sugar factory and plantation in which the Clarendon distillery is located, and the rum is aged and blended at NRJ’s silent Innswood distillery, which ceased production in 1992. Clarendon distillery is one of the Caribbean’s newer rum factories, built back in 1949. Back then, it was a small operation, running a single pot still produced by legendary Louisville, Kentucky coppersmiths, Vendome. Today it is joined by a second, larger pot still of Indian manufacture, a modern five-column still, both installed in 2009.
