Monsters of Rum Anansi - Jamaican rum 58%

Monsters of Rum Anansi – Jamaican rum is an intense, aromatic rum from Jamaica, part of the unique Monsters of Rum collection. The name Anansi is inspired by West African and Caribbean folklore, where Anansi is a spider, known as a trickster and storyteller. This rum is as full of character and complex as its namesake.

Anansi is a typical high ester Jamaican rum , meaning it is made under conditions that promote strong, fruity and almost funky aromas – exactly what Jamaican rum is famous for.

Origin:

Jamaica – probably from one of the famous distilleries like Hampden or Long Pond, depending on the batch.

Style:

Pot still rum with high ester content ( funky, fruity, dry )
Tropically aged and often bottled at high alcohol strength ( cask strength ).

Alcohol:

Typically between 60–65% (may vary by batch – check the label).

Appearance:

Light amber to golden color – usually uncolored and unfiltered.

Fragrance:

A true scent bomb! Overripe bananas, pineapple, lime marmalade, rubber, olives, acetone and spices. The classic “funk” that only Jamaican rum can deliver – intense and nuanced.

Taste:

Powerful and dry with high acidity and intense flavor notes of tropical fruit, fermented apples, cloves, pepper and licorice. Long and wild aftertaste with both warmth, complexity and the characteristic “ester kick”.

Serving suggestions:

– Enjoy neat in small quantities – preferably with a little water to open up the aromas.
– Perfect in funky cocktails like a Jamaican daiquiri – but be aware of the strength!
– For the adventurous: try it with blue cheese or grilled pineapple.

In short:

Monsters of Rum Anansi is an authentic high-ester Jamaican rum with attitude, energy and raw charm. Not for beginners – but a feast for the senses for those who love the true Jamaican style. Wild, vibrant and completely unique.
