Monymusk
The Ultimate
46%
9 Years
This is an independent bottling of rum distilled at Monymusk in 2007 that is bottled under The Ultimatum label after aging for 9 years.
Sweet mango, pineapple, vanilla. Rich Dole fruit syrup, light funk and some caramel. Lots of nice ripe banana. Overall, on the lighter side, but an enticing nose.
Thin mouth feel. No real heat. Caramel, honey, light esters and pear. Faint ham note, mango, some plantain.
Medium length finish, some mild heat. Less sweet here but fruity and floral. Honey, apples, light mango, faint banana.
Honestly, this wasnt bad, but it was thin and disjointed. A little longer finish and a bit richer mouth feel and wed be in business on this one. That said, I wish I had more of this so I could play with it in some cocktails.
