🥃 Old Monk Supreme
The base blended line of Old Monk: dark Indian molasses rum, 7 years, 42.8% ABV.
Old Monk Supreme is the main blended line of the Old Monk brand: a dark molasses rum from India at 42.8% ABV. According to RumX, it is seven years old, and it is produced by Mohan Meakin in Ghaziabad. Names differ across markets and catalogues: XXX, Very Old Vatted and Supreme all appear.
RumX lists column distillation and molasses as the only raw materials. The type of oak casks and the exact blend are not disclosed by the sources, so we do not name them. Some catalogues write “Very Old Vatted”, meaning a blend of rums that matured separately; check the age on the label of the specific bottle.
Why this matters to you. Supreme is the starting point of the brand: it is compared with Gold Reserve, The Legend and Amber. Check the name and age on the label, because line names in catalogues are mixed up. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
