Drink of the Day: Old Monk The Legend Rum - Very Old Vatted

Price: ₹1670

Purchase Location: Kerala Bevco

Enjoyed at: Home

Serving Details: 120ml with soda

Accompanying Dishes: Appam, chicken fry, liver fry, tapioca, and fish curry


Description from the Bottle:

"The Legend is an epitome of our relentless efforts for quality and perfection. Spirits from various raw materials are matured in Silver Oak Wood Cask for mellowness and aroma, then blended to make this exquisite rum."

Tasting Notes:

The moment I opened the bottle, I was greeted by the rich, smooth aroma of aged rum. The flavor profile was complex and satisfying, with notes of vanilla and oak, which are likely a result of the aging process in Silver Oak Wood Casks.

Overall Impression:

I thoroughly enjoyed Old Monk The Legend Rum. The quality is exceptional, and the price is reasonable considering the age and craftsmanship that goes into making this rum. Sharing it with my Dad made it an even more special experience.

One Area for Improvement:

While the rum itself exceeded my expectations, I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of the bottle cap. It felt cheap and didn't quite match the premium quality of the rum. A more luxurious cap would be a nice touch.

I highly recommend this rum to anyone looking to indulge in a premium spirit.

Location: Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India
