Old Monk
Old Monk is a revered and iconic Indian brand known primarily for its legendary dark rum. Established in 1954 by Mohan Meakin Limited, this brand has transcended generations and is deeply ingrained in India's cultural fabric. Old Monk rum, with its distinct taste and memorable, monk-shaped bottle, has become a symbol of nostalgia and camaraderie among Indians.

The brand's marketing has been minimal, relying mostly on word of mouth and its reputation for quality.
Despite changing trends in the beverage industry, Old Monk remains a beloved and cherished brand, serving as a testament to India's enduring affinity for this classic dark rum.
