NR: A sharp continental Monymusk, quite balanced and fruity 7 out of 10
Pot Still
Distillery: Monymusk
Mark: JMM
Age: 16y (2003 - 2020)
Alcohol: 59,5% vol.
Quite typical Monymusk/Clarendon nose, but very bright and sharp (continental aging). The 16y Plantation one time Vintage Edition is more intensive and has much more anise.
The balance is still good, also in the taste.
The initial taste is very sharp and sour, but fruity. The alcohol is tingling in my mouth.
In the middle the rum opens up with more intensive aromas. I got a medical note first, then orange peels, wood (it's also a little bit bitter, but it suits good).
The finish is more Clarendon/Monymusk than initial taste and the middle. Spice, salt, malt, anise, orange, bitter wood. I like the finish, it's tasty for me. There is much more complexity than on the palet before.
It's not a bad Monymusk and quite complex. But the Plantation is more intensive and smoother.
I like the balance of the aromas in this one, he does not overwhelm. But it's too sharp. Plantation is clearly the better rum. I would rate this one with 82 points.
