The bottle is very original. But the glass and cork are shameful for the 21-year-old rum. The aroma is loud coffee confectionery sharp. There is nothing particularly original in the taste. Of course it is oily, round, sweet and burning hard. The finish is ripe orange and an unpleasant burp. Coordination worsens greatly.

I found a bottle of this along with the Old Monk XXX which I also liked. As expected, this is smoother, and I found it better.

Smells and tastes of sugar, spice, and vanilla. A very good tasting rum at only $29/liter (2019 price).

Velmi výrazná chuť, která mě neoslovila. A jelikož mám radši jemnější rumy, tak to není nic pro mě.

I bought this at New Delhi airport duty free and was sure 20 USD for 1 liter of positively reviewed rum is a steal, until I tasted it. Not enjoyable for sipping at all. Has a strong aftertaste I can't pinpoint, and it's not pleasant. No issue with sweetness and not all that harsh. It's just that foul aftertaste. I'll update my review once I try to mix it with Coke, but I normally drink rum neat, so that's not a priority.

BTW, the bottle is very nice, but why not invest a few more rupees for a better looking cap and labels?

Distinctly harsher than rums aged the same amount.

I can't profess to be an expert but I'm guessing that the great age of this has also made it boring. The flavour was heavy with molasses & somewhat flat. There was no spiciness or complexity of aftertaste.
It was drinkable & improved when opened up with a little water or ice but I personally wouldn't ask for it or buy it myself.

Лучший ром из Латинской Америки - это очевидно. Но иногда азиатские сорта тоже весьма неплохи. Old Monk самый известный индийский бренд, а именно этот ром самый выдержанный. Стеклянная оригинальная бутылка в форме головы монаха.
Если говорить только об Азии, то у этого рома отличный вкус. Но сравнивая его с сортами из Карибского бассейна, то планка понижается до 7 из 10 баллов

This was rough. I really wanted to like this but the aftertaste is indescribable. I'm not sure what it is, but its not pleasant as a sipping rum. argh......

Has a decent vanilla oaky taste with something else that I can't quite put to words. Might be charcoally - from heavily toasted / charred oak, but not sure. It's decent enough to drink straight or with mixers, but not something I'd rave about by any means. I bought it because it's from India and it came in a head-shaped bottle. I always am on the lookout for something fun to sip with my neighbor's super cool Punjabi father when he comes to town. It didn't disappoint. Was better than I thought it would be. $27 NJ

Was suprised by this rum, not a bad drink to be honest and a funky bottle to boot. Not many rums come out of India but this is a fair one.
