Finally!
The name "Rumsky" should already be known by most of you, and us too, but I managed to keep skipping the formula. Just happened to review Ralfy's rum video and "Taa-Daa!!" - found it, here (at 8:35):

Easy Peasy...
It's 4 bottles of Wray & Nephews, 1 of Ardbeg 10 and One of Caol Ila - which he aged in a used whisky cask for 2 years. The result is a light to medium amber, and he scored it right up there with MGXO at 86 (a tough scorer, he).
In the blending thread in this section, and lacking a barrel, we used an aged rum with just a tiny bit of a medium Islay, and honestly it was just smashing. Added layers and complexity that is really hard to equal.
For the monkeys, thats a powerful but very flavorful white OP, a full on Islay (Ardbeg) and a light Islay (the Caol Ila, used in many blends).
