This iconic Indian rum has captured the hearts of not only the Indian populace but also spirits enthusiasts worldwide. Its distinct flavour, history, and enduring popularity make it a unique gem in the world of alcoholic beverages.

The Origins

Old Monk Rum traces its origins back to the Mohan Meakin Brewery in India, which was established in 1855. This historic distillery was founded by Sir Edward Dyer, a British entrepreneur. Initially, the distillery was set up to produce beer, but it eventually ventured into the world of spirits. Old Monk Rum made its debut in 1954 when it was first blended and aged in wooden casks. The man behind the creation of this iconic spirit was Kapil Mohan, a visionary entrepreneur. He took inspiration from the traditional art of rum-making and blended it with modern techniques, creating a rum that would stand the test of time.

Unique Tasting Rum

With notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of spices, making it a remarkable rum. The distinct flavour comes from its blend of high-quality molasses and carefully selected spices, which are aged together to create the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. This dark rum is known for its smoothness and rich, complex taste.

Another aspect that sets Old Monk Rum apart from many other rums is its ageing process. The rum is aged for a minimum of seven years, and some variants are aged for even longer. This ageing period allows the spirit to develop its flavour and character, lending its unique flavour. The result is a rich and mellow taste that lingers on the palate, leaving a warm and satisfying finish.

The image of the meditating monk on the label has become a symbol of quality and authenticity in the world of rum.
