So basically we used to drink old monk rum with coke and it was pretty good. I don't really drink much but I wanted a bottle of this just for the heck of it. It's sort of like captain morgans (spiced rum). Reviews say old monk rum basically tastes like way too much vanilla flavor. But I still wanted a bottle, looked into ordering it online since it's hard to find but then I found it in a liquor store and bought a bottle of old monk Supreme bottle shaped like a monk. Haven't opened it yet because wanted to make sure with them if it's vegan.
I tried emailing them like 10 times and get no reply.
I would like to call but not sure how to call India without a calling card.

My email:
*hi, please reply?? *
*I tried emailing you guys twice already months/years ago but haven't gotten a reply. I don't know how to call you either from the United states.*
*We used to really love Old Monk many years ago. I am vegan now for 7 years and need to know if old monk is vegan. Is there anything from animal in it or used to make it but filtered out of the final product (such as how isinglass [fish bladder or egg/dairy] is used for wine but filtered out of the final wine)? *
*Is there honey or vanilla made from beaver musk or anything at all from animal in old monk rums?*
* Asking for all types: the regular XXX 7 year, XXX deluxe, gold reserve, white (clear), Supreme (the monk bottle) and Legend (the head bottle). I bought the supreme monk bottle recently but aren't going to drink it if I can't find out if it's vegan.*
*Thank you so much if you can please reply.*
*It's ok if you have to tell me it's not vegan. *
*I contacted all these as 1 group email. *

they do not reply to emails apparently. Old monk used to be the most popular rum in india, now it's declining, and I guess they don't really care.
Old Monk Rum probably IS vegan. There's a 'natural flavor' from beaver anal glad that's supposed to taste like vanilla but it's expensive from what I've read, so I doubt they're using it in this notoriously cheap rum. Other than that, do you think there's honey or anything not vegan in it or the Old Monk beer?
As far as I know the beer isn't mixed with the rum, and most beers are vegan but I have contacted quite a few beer companies the past year and did get a bunch that say they aren't vegan but usually it's because of dairy or honey (and usually obvious by the title).
but I still want to make sure. Any insight? Anyone can get Old Monk to email me, I'll paypal you $10. Thanks.
