  • Navy Rum
    Aged rum that are often blends of rums from English-colonized countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad, British Guyana, and Barbados. Technically, navy-strength rums are 54.5% ABV or higher, though not all overproof rums are Navy Rums. Taste-wise, Navy Rums are usually rich and funky, and best used in Tiki drinks or punches.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma hits you with black molasses, soy, and ground coffee along with a little copper/metallic note lingering in the background. It is sweet, but not too sweet with a fair amount of spice, particularly vanilla. Tobacco and fruitcake make periodic appearances. The finish is bitter with an espresso-like finish. Despite the proof, it's fairly easy to drink with so many things going on. But do sip and savor, especially given the rarity and cost of the dram."
