IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Monymusk Classic Gold Rum arrives in a squat jug-like bottle with a medium-short neck and solid cork topper. I like these slightly heavy squat bottles as they seem to imply substance when they sit on my bar shelf. They do not tip easily, and they also follow the bartenders creed being easy to hold, easy to pour and easy to store.

The fonts and colours on the label are pleasing to the eye and easy to read. My only quibble is that I would have preferred to find some information regarding the age of the rum upon the label.

The rum has a nice rich amber colour in the glass, and when I tilt and twirl my glencairn I see a slightly thickened sheen of rum. Medium-sized leglets form and slowly drop back down into the rum.
