Rest & Be Thankful 24 YO Monymusk 1998 AHJ (56%)

This rum was distilled at the famous Monymusk distillery (also called Clarendon Estate) in Jamaica. It bears the AHJ (common clean) mark, which means, among other things, that it was distilled in an iron still and that the target level of esters at the end of the still is between 60 and 90 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol. This rum was aged for more than 24 years in an American oak barrel in a tropical climate before being shipped to Scotland for the second part of the aging process. Bottled in Scotland in February 2023 as 1 of only 169 bottles. Non-chill filtered, no added colorants and bottled at cask strength.
The result is a rich and fruity rum, with hints of vanilla, banana and tobacco.
