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.

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.
