Woods Old Navy Dark Rum 70cl

Woods Old Navy Dark Rum 70cl is a powerful and smooth rum distilled at the Diamond Distillery in Guyana, and it’s the only Demerara navy rum still bottled at the original 57% ABV strength that was served aboard British navy ships. Made using a blend of three rums, including one distilled in the historic Versailles pot still, this rum offers a unique and traditional British navy-style spirit.

With its smooth character and complex flavour profile, Woods Old Navy Rum is perfect for sipping neat or using in bold cocktails. The rum is aged for around three years in American oak barrels in Scotland, allowing it to develop deep and rich flavours of brown sugar, toffee, and spice.

Key Features:

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Toffee, cinnamon, cloves, and pepper spice with deep caramel notes.
