Product History
Mohan Meakin began its journey in 1855, producing India’s first brewery and later expanding into distillation. Old Monk Rum was introduced in 1954 and became a global name without any advertising—thanks purely to its taste and word-of-mouth acclaim.
The Apple variant is part of the brand’s effort to innovate for a younger generation of rum drinkers. It combines Old Monk’s signature dark rum base with a carefully crafted apple infusion to create a balanced drink that’s ideal for cocktails or sipping.
