    "One of the smoothest MM I tasted so far. Rather light on the nose, providing a well rounded combination of fruits and herbs. Same does continue throughout. Elegant and well balanced MM with moderate ester concentration."

    "A very pleasant balanced MM! The alcohol is well integrated, it is almost too well-behaved! The bottling is absolutely successful."

    "The first surprise of the Monymusk was its color, which I have never seen so bright for a 17 year old rum. In the nose then fruit, especially mango, yogurt, glue and refreshing eucalyptus. Taste then fruit and a good portion of wood, which I would not have expected so with the color. The fruit then turns to acid on the finish which, along with the tannins, has a long finish. Tasted as a 2cl sample. The bottle price today is 190€ (as of 03.02.2022) and although it is very tasty I would not buy a bottle at this price."
