Cost
This navy rum is produced from rums made in a couple of islands in the Caribbean. It is named for an Admiral who served in the Royal Navy from 1678 until his death in 1702 from a wound to his leg he suffered in the West Indies under French fire. He returned to Jamaica, and court-marshaled two of his captains for insubordination for failing to engage the enemy. He succumbed to his wounds and is buried in Kingston. This rum is available in the UK.

Tasting Notes
"There's an aroma much like the end of your coffee cup (if you take sugar) which also has a pleasant smoky quality to it. The palate is more of the same with some bitterness at the end. While enjoyable, the rum isn't especially exciting. For the price, however, you could do far worse."
