Description

Monymusk 24 Years 1998 MMW Rest & Be Thankful Rum

The Monymusk 24 Years 1998 MMW Rest & Be Thankful is a rare gem from Jamaica's renowned Monymusk Distillery, also known as Clarendon Estate. Bearing the MMW mark (Monymusk Wedderburn), this rum is the product of a pot still distillation with an ester content ranging from 200 to 300 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol, giving it a distinctive character. Aged for over 24 years, it began its maturation in American oak under the heat of the tropical climate before being transferred to Scotland for its final aging. Bottled in February 2023, this rum was released in a limited edition of just 105 bottles, unfiltered, natural in color, and cask strength.

Production details: Distilled at Monymusk Distillery using traditional pot still methods, this 24-year-old rum embodies the rich history of Jamaican rum-making. With its high ester content, it boasts a vibrant and complex flavor profile. The rum's journey includes tropical aging in American oak, followed by a temperate maturation in Scotland, allowing it to develop deep, layered flavors. Bottled without chill filtration or added color, and at cask strength, this is a raw, unadulterated expression of Jamaican rum.

Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full cask strength and complexity, or with a few drops of water to soften the high ester content and reveal deeper layers of flavor. Pair with dark chocolate, grilled fruits, or rich cheeses to complement its bold profile. This is a rum for those who appreciate intensity and depth in every sip.

Additional information: With only 105 bottles released, the Monymusk 24 Years 1998 MMW is an exceptionally rare rum that will appeal to collectors and aficionados of high-ester Jamaican rums. Its long maturation and careful aging process have resulted in a powerful yet refined spirit, making this a true standout in the world of aged rums.
