Those who are old timers like me are definitely grown up into manhood by tasting only one drink i.e OLD MONK. This is a rum was most popular among young generation through out the country, because scotch whiskey was a distant dream for many of us during those days. First, those were available only is five star hotels or from customs. So,majorities of us neither had enough money nor any connection with customs people. Among the whiskeys Black night, Old Tavern, Diplomat or Aristocrat were the choice youngisthan of those days.Whiskey was not strong enough and gin was only for going to toilet for peeing.White rum like Bacardi was not available that time and Beer was not so friendly after dusk.Wine was not at all popular during those days. So, Old Monk was only refuge for our generation.
Now there is some news in the market that company is probably winding up the production of our one time favorite Old Monk. This news is sad to many like me. Somewhere I feel a wound in the heart. We all started with Old Monk and Charminar brand Cigarette. Both were made for each other in 70's and 80's.I do not know if the news is true.But along with many other in the country of my age I feel a deep vacuum in my heat. Let us pray for the old which is definitely gold to us although it does not glitter now that much. " Long Live Old Monk!"
