This white rum is fermented using a traditional method, making it a unique (re)discovery for aficionados. As a Grand Arôme rum, its production requires extended fermentation, and the secret of Lontan is rooted in the very popular artisan rums produced by 18th-century sugar refineries. Only four distilleries in the world have been able to succeed in performing the subtle alchemy to make such a rum. Characterised by spices and ripe fruit, there is a fine expression here of the aromas found in molasses – or ‘sugar cane honey’ as it is known – which are revealed using traditional methods in a very long, mixed fermentation process, which has been skilfully mastered.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE : Soft and concentrated. Spicy (ginger, cinnamon, clove). It evolves towards tropical fruits (flambéed banana, pineapple). Pleasant freshness with notes of sugarcane.
PALATE : Smooth. Floral (violet). Sweet, with notes of licorice. It gradually reveals a vegetal character (fern).
FINISH : Long, rich. It offers pleasant notes of sugarcane. Floral (violet, purple lilac).

In the whisky that made Cu Bocan's name, light smoke intertwines with rich citrus and exotic spices. Subtly smoky, surprisingly sweet, it opens up the world of lightly peated whisky.

Monymusk have named their coconut-flavoured rum liqueur Whispering Breeze. This can be used to add oomph to a Pina Colada.
Sortilège Crème d'érable combines Canadian whisky with delicious Quebec maple syrup and a hint of cream for a pleasant touch of sweetness and an exquisite blend of flavours.
Tomatin 12 Y is smooth and silky, after having been aged in traditional Scotch Whisky, ex-Bourbon and Sherry Oloroso casks. A rich and fruity aroma is the prelude to the sweet flavors of ripe apples, pears and a subtle hint of nuts. Pleasantly oily finish.
Aged for 3 more years in re-charred American oak ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a darker and bolder rum with notes of dried fruits, cocoa, and a hint of oak. Monymusk is the legendary Jamaican distillery that is part of the island's heritage! It has made a name for itself by producing high-proof "heavy rums." Located in the south of Jamaica, Monymusk is one of the island’s oldest estates. Although it has been producing rum since the early 20th century, it was only a few years ago that it decided to market it under its own name, Monymusk.
