This Monymusk MPG 2000 edition signed Rest & Be Thankful is a rare Jamaican expression from a Single Cask , highlighting the singular character of the rums produced at the Monymusk distillery, also known as Clarendon .
Distilled on May 26, 2000 from molasses , this rum bears the MPG brand and was produced in a Light Pot Still , using a gentle fermentation method. It was then placed in an American oak barrel, where it underwent a 21-year maturation process, split between tropical aging in Jamaica and continental aging in Europe.
After more than two decades of maturation, the rum was bottled on March 1, 2022, directly at its natural strength of 60.1% ABV. This edition has undergone no coloring, no added sugar, and no chill filtration, in order to best preserve the rum's identity and the unique characteristics of its aging process.
This vintage comes from cask number 7238 and was produced in a limited run of only 174 70cl bottles , making this edition a particularly exclusive bottling. The high rate of evaporation during aging, exceeding 42%, also testifies to the intensity of the tropical maturation.
Through its selections, Rest & Be Thankful prioritizes single-cask bottlings and expressions of iconic terroirs and distilleries. This Monymusk 2000 perfectly embodies this approach, offering an authentic and unadulterated interpretation of a Jamaican rum aged for over two decades.
