## Description

Product Description We take our history back to the founding of a brewery in Kasauli by Edward Dyer in 1855. He was the brewing pioneer of India who brought to the sun-kissed land the delight of a real thirst quencher--the modern beer, to refresh the people floating in the peculiar heat. He realized for the first time that there were a few places in the world where a really good drink was more welcome. Two years later, on the day of independence, Mohan Meakin bought up the company. In 1954, Mohan Meakin launched a dark rum called Old Monk with the mission to provide the people with a spirit with an incredible variety of flavours. The name is dedicated to the European Benedict monks and their alcohol production. The tasteful rum has an alcohol content of 42.8% and a maturation process of up to 21 years. Old Monk Rum is stored in India only in selected oak barrels.

Review: Amazing rum - Bought it, as it was an overproof rum which seems quite hard to find on desertcart. The vanilla flavour it has and the nice aftertaste make this some of the best rum I've had, considering I've previously spent as much as £150 on a bottle of rum, this one certainly is better for the cost than that. Not the cheapest drink, but if you enjoy drinking rum this one is worth a go.
Review: Gift wrap not great - Dislike the wrapping as a Gift wrap it was Just in a big grey bag and the big was too way to big

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing rum
*by J***E on 2 December 2021*

Bought it, as it was an overproof rum which seems quite hard to find on amazon. The vanilla flavour it has and the nice aftertaste make this some of the best rum I've had, considering I've previously spent as much as £150 on a bottle of rum, this one certainly is better for the cost than that. Not the cheapest drink, but if you enjoy drinking rum this one is worth a go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift wrap not great
*by M***H on 11 December 2020*

Dislike the wrapping as a Gift wrap it was Just in a big grey bag and the big was too way to big

### ⭐ Really Poor Quality Rum at this price point..definitely not for sipping
*by S***R on 4 March 2023*

Thought I'dThought I'd give this a go after a recommendation as I love my rums and was so disappointed. At the current price of £70 its competing with my favourites and this is miles off... Firstly it has a poor quality screw top, all others at this point have corks so that was a bit of a clue. To drink it was really harsh, horrid after taste and definitely not suitable for sipping, only really as a rum punch ingredient. I would compare it more to a cheap supermarket own brand rum.
