The rum has received highly positive feedback from various reviewers. The nose captivates with a lovely combination of thick fruit pot aromas including plums, overripe bananas, figs, and apricots, mingled with honey, almond paste, coconut butter, and hints of vanilla and espresso beans. The alcohol is barely noticeable on the nose, presenting a clear fruity note that gradually transitions towards spice.
In the mouth, the rum is smooth and fills the room with flavor, offering notes of dried fruit, caramel, nuts, red and tropical fruit, raisins, prune, and a slight glue hint. The taste is described as woody with flavors of passion fruit, tropical fruit, tobacco, astringent banana, and a touch of bitterness, giving it a warm and grapey finish.
Reviewers noted its balance and complexity despite its relatively young age, and some mentioned the necessity of a few drops of water to release hidden flavors. It has been praised for its harmonious balance of tobacco, mango, banana, roasted nuts, sesame, coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, tannins, and subtle olive brine notes. While some found it average compared to older vintages, others appreciated its oily texture and powerful presence as a younger Monymusk representative. Overall, it is considered an excellent rum with a lively profile and well-integrated alcohol.
