Old Monk Supreme XXX 42,8°: Description and customer reviews

Old Monk Supreme XXX is an Indian aged rum, distilled and bottled by Mohan Meakin Ltd. in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
We have little information about its age. We've heard 12 years as well as 18 years, but we've had no way of verifying this information.

This rum is best known for its original monk-shaped bottle.

Nico's tasting notes

In brief: loaded - black caramel - molasses - solvent - ripe exotic fruit - coffee - roasted nuts

The nose is typical of Old Monk. Like the rest of the range, it immediately reveals a profile that leaves no one indifferent, very full and heavy. Caramel and molasses float over ripe exotic fruit, which gives off solvent aromas as it begins to ferment. Black banana skin crushes on caramelized vanilla wood.
Aeration darkens the picture a little: the caramel is more cooked, the molasses blossoms and the wood is more deeply toasted. But the fruity solvent maintains its powerful breath and continues to carry that distinctive, recognizable profile. Sugar seems to line the bottom of this nose, as if to dampen all this exaltation.

On the palate, the dark side wins out. Coffee, molasses and toasted wood take over every corner of the palate. Their brown, roasted flavors even have the luxury of a hint of salt to support them, and then the taste buds, which had been tightening, relax to vanilla, brown sugar and even crème brûlée. Rarely does the almost Jamaican solvent carry through to the palate.

The finish is fairly light, despite this hurricane of dark, burnt notes. There's a hint of toasted pecan and licorice.

"The distinctive profile of Old Monk is at its best here, and connoisseurs of the brand will be over the moon..."
