Old Monk The Legend

Punchy & Pleasant with Nice bottle > std glass 40mm of Monk with coke zero Refreshing !. (after 1 hour walk )

Лучший ром из Латинской Америки - это очевидно. Но иногда азиатские сорта тоже весьма неплохи. Old Monk самый известный индийский бренд, а именно этот ром самый выдержанный. Стеклянная оригинальная бутылка в форме головы монаха.
Если говорить только об Азии, то у этого рома отличный вкус. Но сравнивая его с сортами из Карибского бассейна, то планка понижается до 7 из 10 баллов

This was rough. I really wanted to like this but the aftertaste is indescribable. I'm not sure what it is, but its not pleasant as a sipping rum. argh......

Has a decent vanilla oaky taste with something else that I can't quite put to words. Might be charcoally - from heavily toasted / charred oak, but not sure. It's decent enough to drink straight or with mixers, but not something I'd rave about by any means. I bought it because it's from India and it came in a head-shaped bottle. I always am on the lookout for something fun to sip with my neighbor's super cool Punjabi father when he comes to town. It didn't disappoint. Was better than I thought it would be. $27 NJ

Was suprised by this rum, not a bad drink to be honest and a funky bottle to boot. Not many rums come out of India but this is a fair one.

Had a bit of a jarring taste, not unpleasant but also not a smooth experience either. Not one I would go for again

Drank a lot of this in India as it seemed to be the best available and brought a bottle home. I sip it occasionally but not my favourite by any means. A bit harsh with lingering aftertaste.

Drank this in Goa. Nice bottle. Cheap cap.
Caramel and Toffee smell.
More coffee and hints of chocolate in taste. Nothing harsh. Pretty smooth finish.
Taste more like an after dinner liquor that is a bit too sweet.

Who knew there was such a thing as Indian rum? So my wife recently went to India and came back with this. I read some previous ratings and was little nervous to taste. Smelled decent, more on the sweet side as I prefer. Taste was exactly as it vanilla, cocoa, sugary, but was not too sweet and finished decent. Certainly not the best I've had but grateful to try something I would probably never seen. I think it cost $5US, how can you go bad? Not sure if it's available stateside, I've never seen it anywhere. If it is would love to see what it costs.

The bottle is very original. But the glass and cork are shameful for the 21-year-old rum. The aroma is loud coffee confectionery sharp. There is nothing particularly original in the taste. Of course it is oily, round, sweet and burning hard. The finish is ripe orange and an unpleasant burp. Coordination worsens greatly.
