Old Monk is a vatted Indian dark Rum, blended and aged for 7 years. It is a dark rum with a distinct vanilla flavour similar to other spiced rums, with an alcohol content of 42.8%. It is produced by Mohan Meakin, based in Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, available in all parts of India.

There is no advertising whatsoever for the brand, its popularity depends on word of mouth and loyalty of customers.[citation needed] Old Monk is the third largest selling rum in the world.[citation needed] Old Monk has been the biggest Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) brand for many years.[1]

While the 7 years aged XXX rum grade is the most popular, there are the Supreme & Gold Reserve varieties which are gaining in popularity. These are aged for 12 years and are blended with highly matured spirits.The Supreme also comes in a special bottle, with the shape of a standing monk.The top part of the monk's head is the bottle cap, which also doubles up as a peg measure.

It is sold in four size variants 180 ml (quarter/ pauaa), 375 ml (half/ addha), 750 ml (commonly referred to as a "khamba" meaning "full bottle"), and a 1 liter bottle.
