Mohan Meakin Distillery Old Monk Amber
Nostalgia drinkers and cola-mixers are the honest audience here — several members grew up with the brand and it clearly bought it a few forgiveness points. In the glass it reads more like a rum liqueur than a rum: artificial chocolate, milk coffee and a sugary-sweet vanilla, with the alcohol poking through. One taster called it "artificial like cotton candy," and the scores back that up. Best drowned in cola over lots of ice.
The community says- Nostalgia factor
- Tastes synthetic
- Barely rum-like

The look inside the bottle
How does Mohan Meakin Distillery Old Monk Amber taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Sweet, synthetic Indian rum best drowned in cola Most tasters landed low, with one word repeating: synthetic. It drinks like chemical chocolate-coffee flavoring on alcohol — a couple kept a soft spot for nostalgia, one poured it out.

Review by zabo
Zu allererst einmal ein DICKES DANKESCHÖN an TheDunderHut, wieder bei dem Wird&Blind Set dabei gewesen zu sein. Zusammen mit DomM wurde sich dieser Aufgabe gestellt. Leider kein Einhorn dabei gewesen, aber tolle rare Sachen probiert, an die man sonst nicht so gut rankommt. Einzig die Geschichten zu jeden einzelnen Rum des Spliters dazu habe ich wirklich vermisst zu.
Review by Johannes
Weird and Blind tasting @Artur: Musste etwas gespiced sein. Etwas weihnachtliche Gewürze, Schokolade, etwas Süße.
Review by Mentalo
Weird and Blind Tasting von Artur. Sample Nummer 9. Die Abfüllung hat sofort Erinnerungen ausgelöst, aber in der Blindverkostung bin ich nicht drauf gekommen. Aber ja, Old Monk mit seiner intensiv künstlichen Schokolade und (Milch) Kaffee Note . Dazu leicht sprittig. Paar Nostalgiepunkte.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Weird and Blind #9 Received a really nice set from member TheDunderHut, where you never know what you'll get. There are some nice, special rums in there that I wouldn't normally try. I really enjoyed it. This sample: spices and made. Flat, no finish. Not my thing. More of a herbal drink.

Это все еще можно пить, но только в коктейле. Но 7 лет годится для этого лучше
