Description
The Old Monk 7 Years Old is a true classic among Indian rums and is known worldwide for its distinctive, full-bodied profile. Produced by the traditional Mohan Meakin Distillery, which looks back on a history dating back to the 19th century, this matured dark rum stands for authentic craftsmanship, exotic spice and balanced maturation. With an alcohol content of 42.8 % vol. and a maturation of at least seven years in oak barrels, Old Monk impresses with its depth, aromatic complexity and mild structure.
Its characterful style is based on the use of high-quality molasses and careful barrel ageing, which gives it warm notes of vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate. The rum is both powerful and smooth and has gained a loyal international following due to its quality and versatility - especially among connoisseurs who appreciate mature, non-industrially filtered rum.
The 1-liter bottle offers a generous supply for versatile enjoyment and is therefore ideal for both the home bar and for social gatherings. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Dark mahogany with a reddish tinge.
Nose: Warm and inviting, with aromas of vanilla, muscovado sugar, dried fruit, caramel and a hint of clove.
Taste: Full-bodied and round, with brown sugar, raisins, wood notes, dark chocolate and mild spice.
Finish: Long-lasting and soft, with a sweet aftertaste, fine oak and a pleasant feeling of warmth.
The Old Monk 7 Years Old is ideal for pure enjoyment, preferably at room temperature, to develop its full aromatic depth. It also shows its best side on ice or as a base for classic dark rum cocktails such as Rum Old Fashioned, Hot Buttered Rum or Dark 'n' Stormy. In the kitchen and at the table, this rum harmonizes wonderfully with strong chocolate desserts, roasted nuts, dark pastries or as an aromatic component in rum cakes or caramelized sauces. A rum with character, depth and cult status - spicy, sweet and traditional. (automated translation)

Vom Aroma und Geschmack identisch mit dem 12-jährigen, dafür deutlich rauher und schärfer im Abgang.
Ein Maulvoll alle paar Wochen genügt mir!
Deshalb hält so eine 1l Flasche ewig!

Preis/Leistung top! In der Nase zwar deutlich intensiver als am Gaumen, aber auch dort üppige Aromen von Vanille, Mokka, frische Feige und etwas Kakao. Wirkt sehr weihnachtlich und verbleibt dem Preis entsprechend im Abgang kurz bis mittellang.
