Hogo Monsta raises a fair question the moment you open the bottle: is this really rum? Distilled in Barbados by Planteray and bottled at 56.6% ABV, it contains 2,029 grams per hectoliter of aromatic compounds, making it the highest-ester rum sold today. That intensity explains the 200-milliliter bottle, a nod to its origins as a blending essence rather than a casual pour.
