Rum and winters go hand in hand. From driving the cold away to being the real steal for your pockets, rum is certainly the best deal winters offer. No wonder, it becomes a staple as the mercury drops to a minimum.
And as far as Indians are concerned rum is synonymous to ‘Old Monk’, a liquor brand that manufactures the alcohol by Mohan Meakin Ltd. in Ghaziabad, UP. In fact, according to the Hurun Indian Luxury Consumer Survey 2019, Old Monk is the most popular liquor brand among the rich Indians, reports Business Standard.
The popularity of rum was once again proved when recently, someone on Twitter asked fellow netizens to name their favorite base drink.
What’s your base drink? One you buy often, keep, usually have at home.
PS: Don’t say stuff just to sound posh 🙂

We don't really like old monk, but it has been a vital part of our alcohol consumption journey. Having said that @thevirdas made us respect #OldMonk like never before. So even if we may not drink it anymore, we will definitely look at it with adoring eyes. 🥺 pic.twitter.com/mB3Fd2mKb6
