Nothing to beat old monk. It aroma is fablous and taste exquisite

Just something you want sip when you want to taste RUM. I like it. Problem is they have shut the distillery down. No more Old Monk.

I LOVE this rum. Its been my nightly choice as of late. I'm also a fan of Pyrat XO, so I like my odd sweet rums, I guess. SO good with coke. I can't get enough of this realistically priced rum. This is my fav.

Smell of vanilla and tastes spicy. I realy enjoyed it. Great for sipping.

Again the usual snobbery on here and raters forgetting what it costs. You can get it locally for £4. It's more than drinkable with coke or ginger. Perhaps a little sweet but I've had worse. Again, £4. 10 bottles of this or one bottle of aged stuff from the Caribbean.

This was my first experience with aged rum. I didn't even know rum was made in India. I love to try different things and I'm glad I did. The smell is sweet. I get molasses, and maybe caramel. The color is a beautiful golden brown. The initial taste is sweet too, but not syrup-y. Very nice. The finish is slightly oak, with a bit of burn-again, very nice-reminds me of a very smooth whiskey. Could drink this anytime. I think it's better on the rocks, rather than neat. Haven't tried it with Coke yet, but I will. I recommend this to any new rum drinkers. It's a great place to start

Very strongly flavoured so I agree with others that it is likely spiced. Still, it is smooth enough to sip and has a really rich butterscotch flavour. I loved mixing it with egg nog at Xmas. One final thing that's great is it's crazily cheap, got it for $11!

I know this is a bizarre review but I am now on bottle number 3 which have been consumed over the previous 18 months or so. I can't quite work out why I don't hate this rum but then also cannot throw it out of my collection. Sometimes it tastes so strong and the smell knocks my sideways then other times it hurts so good! I'm at war with myself over the Old Monk and love it someday and hate it somedays I guess he will be here to stay so is that a bad thing or a great thing? Sometimes too bitter and lacking sweetness then surprises me with a mouthfuls of mild caramel eschews and treacle with coffee kicks. Not a rum for the fainthearted this is a thinking man's rum, but then I am not a thinking man! Oh dear Old Monk please help?

When you think of rum, you probably don't associate it with India. However, India is the number one producer of sugarcane followed by Brazil. Old Monk is a fine example of rum hailing from India. Can be enjoyed neat or mixed. If you can find Old Monk XXX, I would strongly suggest trying it!

Love this stuff, can't find it locally anymore.

I join with other comments. Hard to describe all the spices that rum is included. Worth trying. Me and my friend's favorite beverage !

Ja, hvem skulle have troet at indien også kunne lave rom? Siger næste sig selv, at naturligvis kan de det, englænderne har haft landet som koloni om lur mig om der ikke er en enkelt eller to som har lært teknikken :-)

one of the best rums ive had in the affordable price range (in US its between 16-25$. in mass ~20-24$)

great taste. solid sipper with some ice. makes a fantastic rum & coke. strong vanilla and other spices. i enjoy it alot and its my go to rum because of price and quality. always have one in my stock :)

i got alot of friends into rum by having them try this bad boy

I like this stuff, cool bottle, nice brown rum. Makes a good rum cake too!

Multă ciocolată neagră, faptul că are 42,8 alc. Salveaza oarecum simplitatea acestui rom indian. Ușor amar.

This stuff will cure every sickness known to man.

If you want to make the best of it, mix it with Thums Up Cola.

This rum is very spicy with a liquorice smell, aftertaste and a hint of vanilla. Due to its spiciness this is a rum whisk(e)y lovers would like to drink.

This is good rum, but should be taken as spiced rum. It is nice but it is almost to full of spice.

A coffee candy aroma and strong alcohol. All components are not worse than average. Identity is impressive. ..... Недорого, качественно, самобытно. Аромат кофе, банана и зрелого алкоголя. Вкус тёмного индийского рома ))). Крепкий и сухой - значит тяжёл для желудка в чистом виде. Не слишком дурит голову и не отбирает силы.

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

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!

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.

I really like the taste of this rum. Smells and tastes of sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla. A great taste, though it is slightly harsh.

Taste is more important to me than smoothness, so I give this a high 7.
