{"product_id":"old-monk-the-legend-rum-750ml","title":"Old Monk 'The Legend' Rum 750mL","description":"\u003cp\u003eAged in Silver Oak Wood Cask and drawn from spirits from various raw materials (sugar cane we hope!) The Legend as with other OMR rums delivers 40 % ABV. The bottle is completely clear, revealing the classic, rich, dark-brown Indian rum inside. We often see premium offerings from manufacturers these days, pair their bottles with cute corks from Portugal however The Legend, perhaps staying true to OMR s no advertising, word-of-mouth brand loyalty pragmatism, seal their Monk Head bottle with a black metal screw cap with gold lettering. It s almost a little endearing! On first approach we smell soft spices, wood, cloves and with a small follow through of vanilla but nothing overpowering. Observing the rum in the tumbler, there is a beautiful dark orange, rustiness to the liquid that reminds me of certain dessert wines (check out the Hungarian Royal Tokaji). The rum leaves a high line post swirling that holds for a long time, with minimal streaking. The first sip is stronger than the smell gives away, a greater warmth to the roof of the mouth and the back of the throat than anticipated. The vanilla and caramel give way quickly to a blend of complex spices and oak tones. Cinnamon, clove, wood dominate the palate. The flavour profile is intense, varied but brief. After a small wait, further tastes confirm the presence of dried fruits and zest but once again, the overriding flavour is wood and Indian spices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124192870463,"sku":"8901131740051","price":78.88,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/5786\/4255\/files\/Old-Monk-_E2_80_98The-Legend-Rum-750mL.jpg?v=1776146118","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyhub.com.au\/products\/old-monk-the-legend-rum-750ml","provider":"The Whisky Hub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
