Old Monk XXX 7-Year

Typical mix of sugar and cheap caramel. Must be used once in life, and only with cola: 2:1. No, better 3:1...

for this price is quite good, of course it is not aged rum, it is fair dry spiced rum, will be nice for neat and mixing

Also in Indien soll er ja einer der meist verkauften Rums sein... ok... ich finde ihn schlecht! Habe keine speziellen Aromen schmecken können... war sehr sprittig und scharf! Habe ihn dann mit Cola gemischt, damit ich die 23€ nicht wegkippen musste... war halbwegs trinkbar, aber nicht gut! Würde ihn nicht mehr kaufen! Für den selben Preis bekommt man den Kraken, und der ist echt lecker!

Found a bottle in the office that had been there for a few years, someone had brought back from india.

No one would drink it. I can't blame them. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be, given what I'd heard about old monk, it was sweet enough but still had the "alcohol" burn. The sweetness wasn't complex, a little brown sugar but nothing phenomenal.

This one do not fit in my collection. It will just use for rum&coke.

Amazing butter scotch and caramel nose but the taste punches you back to life.

At a stopover in Delhi tried this rum. Do agree with the other reviews that it is a different taste. But hey, this is also far from the Caribbean, right.
Not easy to buy, but will always be looking for it.

Unique nose with some butterscotch. Really strong taste, even more vibrant than most 151s I've had. Honestly I didn't like it at all, maybe some do - but just too harsh to get many flavors. Friend of mine says it tastes like an oyster with some brine. Likely good for whiskey drinkers.

That's India rum but I've tried it in Nepal. That's really good rum! Maybe you can think that in this part of the world they can't make great rum...but that is really worth to try! But one thing! That what you can but in Europe is not same like India and Nepal!!! That from Asia is better!

A standard for dark rums, and a favorite in India. It has a very strong taste, drinkable neat (though I find it better with a few cubes of ice), or in a cocktail. Strong enough that the taste is not lost in a rum & Coke.
After a few drinks it tends to sit on the shelf now though, along with the Kraken and Captain Black. Tasty, but rarely a 'go-to'.
