The origins of the name, Rest and Be Thankful (R&B), come from the actual place which can be found on the A83 in Scotland between Glasgow and the ferry crossing to Islay. Until it was sold in 2012, several of the stakeholders at R&B had represented the iconic Bruichladdich distillery on Islay and hence frequently drove past this iconic place. Monymusk offers two different styles of pot still rums: light and heavy. Both rums styles are made from molasses, a mix of sugarcane juice, bagasse (among others sugar cane fibres left post pressing). The main difference lies in the fermentation time which is relatively short for the light style – 2 to 3 days - and much longer for the heavier style – 2 to 4 weeks. Multiple marks/ marques exist defining exact production specification, a bit like a cuisine recipe. Made according to the Common Clean style, a light fermentation and MPG mark with volatile substances at 617.7 gr/hlpa and esters at 78.0 gr/hlpa, this pot still rum was aged in an American Oak Barrel for an impressive 24 years. Each bottle embodies the culmination of years of patience and expertise, allowing the subtle tropical and continental influences to harmoniously meld in every drop, in particular with an angel’s share exceeding 42%.
