Monymusk from the 2000s

A bunch of Monymusks that have been distilled two decades ago. We managed to feature almost every possible vintage. Rum Artesanal Clarendon “EMB” 2009 12YO (64,3%): A “new” batch, with new meaning that it is the first Monymusk bottling of this vintage that I am aware of. By the way, EMB is probably our favorite…
