Where to Buy Old Monk Rum in Ireland: Your Complete Guide
If you have been searching for Old Monk Rum in Ireland, the good news is that it is now much easier to find than it used to be.
Old Monk is one of India’s most iconic spirits. Produced by Mohan Meakin distillery in Ghaziabad since 1954, it is a dark rum with a devoted following across the South Asian diaspora worldwide. For many people it carries decades of memory. A bottle brought home from India. A drink shared after a long journey. A taste that does not change.
Until recently, getting hold of it in Ireland meant either carrying a bottle back in your luggage or paying inflated prices through overseas online retailers. That has changed. Alkomi is the exclusive Irish importer and distributor of Mohan Meakin products, and we have been building a network of independent stockists across the country. Here is where you can find Old Monk in Ireland today.
Old Monk Stockists in Dublin
Dublin has the largest concentration of stockists. If you are in the capital, you have several options.
Parnell Street Off Licence, Dublin 1 is one of the most popular spots for the South Asian community in Dublin and carries the Old Monk range consistently.
Celtic Whiskey Shop, 27 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 is a premium spirits retailer and one of the few places in Ireland where you can find the full range, including the Gold Reserve 12YO and the Amber 20YO.
The range is also stocked at Spar Harold’s Cross, Spar Priorsgate in Tallaght, Londis Adamstown, San Stores Balgaddy, and Delhi Darbar in Lucan.

Which Old Monk Products Are Available in Ireland?
Alkomi imports the full Mohan Meakin range. In Ireland you can currently find:
- Old Monk 7YO Rum — the classic. Available in 70cl, 37.5cl, and 18cl.
- OMR Coffee Rum — a coffee-infused variant for something a little different.
- Old Monk Gold Reserve 12YO — a premium expression with more depth and complexity.
- Old Monk Amber 20YO — for the serious collector or the special occasion.
Availability varies by stockist. Celtic Whiskey Shop carries the widest range. Most independent off-licences stock the 70cl 7YO as their core line.
Why Was Old Monk So Hard to Find in Ireland Before?
Old Monk was not officially distributed in Ireland until Alkomi set up as the exclusive Irish importer. Before that, there was no reliable local supply. Stock filtered in informally, usually through diaspora networks or specialist overseas retailers, and availability was inconsistent.
Alkomi was established specifically to fix that. We hold Irish stock, operate through a bonded warehouse in Dublin, and supply independent retailers with a one-case minimum order and free nationwide delivery. Smaller shops can now carry Old Monk without committing to bulk quantities or managing imports themselves.
