Old Monk 7 Year Old Rum / 70cl

Product Information

Hercules rum ingredients are strong and contain a pretty exotic taste. The hero ingredients of Hercules rum are American rye, bitters, and fresh ginger. In 1855, an entrepreneurial Scotsman named Edward Abraham Dyer, father of Colonel Reginald Dyer set up a brewery in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh to cater to the British requirement for cheap beer. This brewery changed hands and became a distillery by the name of Mohan Meakin Pvt. Ltd. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

There’s so much of love in the air, but I just catch cold! Either way, Old Monk’s there for my rescue!” Vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, orange, cardamom, star anise and ginger are the best companions for rum. Indeed, these ingredients and rum belong to a Christmas drink. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL Having said that, this preference of alcohol seems to be largely centred around a few top rum brands, including the iconic names like Old Monk. But don't you think this delightfully yummy spirit, deserves to be explored a tad more deeply? Okay, even if you don't agree, let us at least brief you on your best rum options when you're out to buy a bottle.How To Do It: Heat the water with all the spices and boil well until it’s reduced to about half a cup. Strain out the spices, but retain the cinnamon and star anise. Pour the rum and Cointreau in a cup and mix well, top it with the strained spice water, add the butter and let the delicious salty flavour soak. Garnish with the orange peel, and sip your gorgeous warm creation. Additionally, it’s also important to note that the alcohol percentage may vary slightly depending on the specific batch or region. Old Monk, reportedly a creation of Ved Rattan Mohan, former managing director of Mohan Meakin, [12] [13] was first introduced in India in the 1960s. Colonel Ved Mohan, brother of Kapil Mohan, had been inspired by the serene life of Benedictine monks and the drinks they brewed as they led their ascetic life in the mountains where they lived in content. And hence, the drink got its name. Before Old Monk, there was Hercules rum (still sold) that was distilled exclusively for the armed forces. [14] Superior in taste and perhaps even in quality to Hercules (as loyalists believe), the brand soon became one of the leading dark rums in the world and perhaps the most popular IMFL (Indian-Made Foreign Liquor) brand in the country. The affordable pricing strategy has also worked in their favor. [15] An incredibly smooth rum, Takamaka St. André is another great rum from the island nation of The Seychelles. The flavour is dry and woody almost to the point of bitterness, with hints of cardamom and vanilla. This is one of my favourites, and I can safely say it’s the smoothest rum I have ever tasted. Sadly, just like the Takamaka Spiced (see above), the only place it seems to be available outside The Seychelles is at the Dubai airport duty-free. IQ recommends…

I’ve long thought that rum doesn’t get the respect it deserves. In India, especially, people consider rum the ‘poor man’s’ or ‘student’s’ liquor—something to start one’s drinking experiences with before moving up to whiskey. I suppose this is understandable, considering that most rums are cheap and relatively easy to produce. But just because rum is affordable doesn’t mean it doesn’t have flavour and complexity. Or that it can’t be enjoyed as much as any other drink. Subtle variations in the production process—from what kind of sugarcane product is used as a base, to whether it’s spiced or not, and how it is aged—can result in an incredibly sophisticated end product that would arguably not feel out of place among the best whiskeys. But there’s one particular rum which truly stands out: The old monk. Old monk loyalists don’t give a damn about the finest whiskies and wines of the world, because the Monk is their one and only true love.
