Monymusk 10 Year Special Reserve Jamaican Rum: A Decade of Jamaican Funk and Refined Elegance

Uncover the rich history and authentic character of Jamaica with Monymusk 10 Year Special Reserve Jamaican Rum. Distilled at the historic Monymusk distillery (part of National Rums of Jamaica Ltd., primarily Clarendon Distillery) and embodying centuries of rum-making tradition, this exceptional aged rum is a masterful blend of both column still and pot still distillates. This combination ensures a complex profile that captures the quintessential Jamaican "funk" while maintaining a remarkable smoothness. Each component of this special reserve has been patiently aged for a minimum of 10 years in carefully selected ex-bourbon American oak barrels under the tropical Jamaican sun, resulting in an extraordinary depth of flavor and aroma. Monymusk 10 Year Special Reserve is a true gem for enthusiasts seeking an authentic, richly layered, and elegantly aged Jamaican rum.

Flavors of ripe tropical fruits (banana, pineapple, apricot, dried fruit), sweet brown cane sugar, and chocolate intertwine with prominent notes of spicy oak, toasted wood, and a delicate bitterness.
