Navy RumAged 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
"In the glass, the rum is an enticing, dark copper, likely from spirit caramel. At 151 proof, this isn’t intended as a sipping rum. Diluting it to 100 proof for tasting reveals roasted, woody demerara notes, similar to Lemon Hart, with little or no Jamaican fruity funkiness. This is a dry rum with little or no sugar added, not surprising given its target use in cocktails. This rum isn’t subtle - it functions best as warhorse in tropical drinks, bringing a huge slug of flavor and alcohol."
