01
Fermentation
Sugar cane molasses is diluted with water and pitched with our own yeast. The wash ferments slowly so that fruit and spice can develop.
Around 7 days
Production
From molasses to the band
Rum is not a Baltic tradition. We made one anyway, on the same stills that otherwise make gin and Kümmel. Four steps, all under one roof.
02
Distillation
Two runs over copper. The distiller cuts heads, heart and tails by hand and keeps only the heart.
Double distilled
03
Ageing
The spirit ages in former bourbon and wine casks. The Baltic climate, with its swings in temperature, does its part.
Several years in the cask
04
Blending & bottling
The blend is built from several casks. Bottling, corking and sealing with the band are done by hand.
Numbered batch
In the glass
Distiller’s tasting note
Nose
Caramel, dried apricot, a hint of vanilla and wood.
Palate
Soft and round, brown butter, orange peel, gentle spice.
Finish
Long and warm, with oak and a light salty note.
How we drink it
Neat, in a nosing glass
No ice, at room temperature. Add a drop of water if you like. In a cocktail, MØNCH carries an Old Fashioned with orange zest.
