Due to the strong impact of the British,Old Monk Rum became one of the most popular beverages among dark rums in the world and the most demanded one in India. “
John Smith –
It is a thick rich dark rum. Some reviewers note that the rum has a lot of vanilla in its profile. I’m not really getting that, it’s certainly nowhere near the biggest vanilla pirate Captain Morgans Spiced Gold. There is a hint of vanilla but not on that scale. It is very rich and bold in flavour. It is sweet and reminds me a little of a Baileys type taste. There is a definite kick of alcohol in amongst it. It would go well with some vanilla ice cream or in a flambe or even on pancakes!
