Sad to hear about the demise of the creator of iconic OLD MONK RUM - Brigadier (Retd.) Kapil Mohan, who ran Mohan Meakin Ltd. Undoubtedly the most favorite drink of youth and the armed forces among others in India. May his soul Rest In Peace. Prayers. pic.twitter.com/e90ZIHm2yv

Sad to hear of the passing of Brig Kapil Mohan -- and it does unreported in the news media! He is the man who ran Mohan Meakin and the face beind the Old Monk rum brand that is global. Remember meeting him for a family feud story. This is the stuff of business history.

The iconic drink of the late 60s and early 70s. Used to purchase Old Monk and Hercules XXX from Navy canteen in Coimbatore, on the slyThe cooks used to store it in waste bins and sell at 100 bucks a bottle!

RIP Kapil Mohan , you'll be Missed & sipped !!
And some compared the dark rum drink to 'amrutha varshini' or a raga in Carnatic music that is believed to produce rain
#OldMonk, RIP sir. Your creation is a amrutha varshini to us.
