Old Monk XO Spiced Rum is a legendary Indian rum crafted by Mohan Meakin Ltd, one of India’s oldest and most respected distilleries. Known worldwide for its rich flavour and distinctive character, this premium expression blends aged Indian rum with natural spices, creating a smooth and indulgent spirit.
The rum is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop a deep and complex profile before being enhanced with a carefully balanced blend of spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, and clove. The result is a full-bodied rum with warming sweetness and layers of rich flavour.
Old Monk XO delivers inviting notes of caramel, molasses, and toasted oak, followed by warming spice and subtle hints of spiced toffee and cocoa. The rum’s smooth texture and balanced sweetness make it equally enjoyable sipped neat, served over ice, or mixed into classic rum cocktails.
With decades of heritage and a loyal following around the world, Old Monk XO continues to be one of the most recognisable and beloved rums produced in India.
