Product Description

Old Monk The Legend is the ultra-premium expression of the famous Indian dark rum. It is a “Very Old Vatted” rum, blended from matured stocks, including components that can be up to 12 years old. This unique blend provides a smoother, more complex profile compared to the standard 7-year-old variant, making it ideal for those who enjoy a refined rum. The rum comes in a distinctive glass bottle shaped like the head of H.G. Meakin, the company’s founder, adding to its collectible appeal.

Tasting Notes

Aroma:
The nose is richer and less “medicinal” than the standard Old Monk XXX. It features strong notes of dark chocolate, toasted coffee beans, and a heavy vanilla presence.

Palate:
On the palate, Old Monk The Legend is velvety and full-bodied, with flavors of butterscotch, cloves, and Christmas cake (dried fruits). These are balanced with a woody undertone.

Finish:
The finish is exceptionally long and warm, leaving a lingering sweetness of molasses and oak smoke.

Balance, Complexity:
This rum offers a balanced complexity, with the sweetness of butterscotch and vanilla harmonizing with the deeper spice and oak notes. Its smoothness and long finish make it a distinguished expression.
