The Rest & Be Thankful 1998 Monymusk MBK Single Cask 23yo is a rum bottle with a rich history and unique flavor profile. Distilled in 1998, this exquisite rum was produced from molasses using an iron still at Jamaica's renowned Clarendon Estate distillery, also known as the Monymusk distillery. The rum underwent tropical aging for several years in an old bourbon barrel before being transported to Scotland for further maturation. This meticulous process has resulted in a limited edition release with only 205 bottles produced. With a significant angel's share of over 36%, the aging process lasted a total of 23 years, enhancing the complexity and robust character of this rum. Bottled at an impressive 57.1% ABV, this fine spirit is non-chill filtered, free of colorants, and presented in its raw cask form. It is classified as a light rum, boasting a volatile content of 541.5 g/hlap and 61 g/hlap of esters. The MBK mark on the bottle signifies a light rum, with a specific fermentation and distillation process aimed at achieving a low level of esters. Rest & Be Thankful 1998 Monymusk MBK Single Cask 23yo offers an intriguing mix of tropical and continental aging, culminating in a rich and smooth flavor profile. Its nose reveals a promising array of ripe and unripe fruits such as green apples, pears, gooseberry, and kiwi, alongside notes of vanilla, oak, and pepper. The palate is drier than one might expect, with prominent oak, fruity undertones, and an astringent quality, complemented by spices like cardamom, cloves, pepper, and allspice. The finish is notably long, carrying forward the oak, fruit, and spice elements, making for a complex yet approachable rum that is sure to delight any rum connoisseur.
