#Top100Rums – #78: Monymusk Classic Gold Rum
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 5, 2017
Monymusk Classic Gold Rum is produced in Jamaica by a partnership called the National Rums of Jamaica. The spirit is produced at the Claredon Distillery (also called the Monymusk Distillery), near Lionel Town in the heart of Jamaica’s sugar cane producing region. The Claredon Distillery contains a modern column still plant and a second older plant with two double-retort pot stills.
While the vast majority of the rum distillate produced at the distillery is destined for bulk sales (much of it to Diageo), about 10 % of the rum distilled is set down to rest in American Oak barrels and aged at the NJR facility at Innswood, an older distillery which now serves as an aging and blending facility for Claredon.
Monymusk Classic Gold Rum was produced from aged rum from both the modern column plant and the double-retort pot stills.
