Old Monk The Legend

Banana is the strongest presence really fills up the mouth before retreating to reveal oak and time. Its a little odd pouring it out of a bottle shaped like an old man’s head. Although I must say I quite like it. It’s really a lovely glass for the end of a long evening the night before a stressful day.

Best of the monks, easily Nose is WARMED molasses, prunes, caramel, cinnamon, peppermint candy cane, coffee cake with extra crumble Palate Dulce de Leche, buttery sugar frosting, mild tinge of leathery sweet spice Mouth is pretty non-existant, it's just a nicely smooth affair you can tell the flavors aren't just from some added sugars or extracts (if you look up the old monk brand they score low for added sugars). It's truly easy and smooth, so don't be afraid to add this to a nicer cocktail that wants some standout rum flavor. It's technically not even the most expensive of the 3 varieties, since it comes in a 1L and works out to about $25/750ml I seem to love every Indian food or drink I've ever tried, and this is no exception. Nursing a scratch made tomato sauce for Tikka as I write this!
