Personal top 3. 55% but doesn’t have the alcoholic aftertaste you might expect. Warm and smooth

Decent navy style rum, but overly sweet, and quite unneeded.

Best overproof Ive ever had. Smooth as molasses. Definitely worth a try.

Nose is like an aged Jamaican rum, but more subtle. Although it comes in at 54.5% ABV, it does not drink hot. Molasses up front with a dry finish.

Don't think I've seen black licorice mentioned but it was the first thing that came to mind for me. Either way, this will put some hair on your chest.

Vůně: staré exotické dřevo, karamel, koření, kvašené ovoce, nádhera!
Chuť: tabák, pepř, karamel, koření, rozinky, dub.
Dochuť: delší, sladší, karamel, jakoby whisky?
Skvělý! Tak nějak si představuji rum pro námořníky!
Ahoy!!!

amongst the rums that have sugar added. Quite a nice range of sweet spice with coffee and chocolate on the palate. The abv also helps a lot.
Added sugar is noticeable but manages to stay away from becoming offputting.

the nose I can recognize oak, vanilla, and some dark fruit. There are similar notes on the tongue with a very strong burn. There is a long finish of spice, caramel, a burn. Overall a solid overproof with a lot of pluses compared to other overproofs. Great neat or on the rocks.

NR: Great Navy style rum (pure Guyana blend), very good for the price
8
/10
out of 10
I like Navy style rums, so it was just a question of time, when I get my hands on this one.
The nose and the taste are quite dark. Not very fruity, but with molasses and honey.
I like this combination and the balance. The blend is still strong with 54.5%, but this abv was a very good choice. There is something musty in the nose, that I know from Demerara rums (molasses coated casks - MDXC). That's why it's pretty clear, this blend is a Guyana rum. Because of the raisins there is also a proportion of Enmore still rum in the blend.
In the taste Demerare flavors are very dominant but I get also some Jamaica flavors first (don't know how they delevoped them out of Guyana rum) and then Guyana in the middle and the finish.
The taste is dark with molasses and some tanins in the background. I like the molasses, raisins, wood flavors. This is what I expect from a good navy blend.
The old label says it was a blend of Guyana, Trinidad, Barbados rum. Now it's a pure Demerara blend. I don't have the medical note in the taste, it's pretty clear that there is no other rum inside. But there is also a typical Jamaica note in the taste, the question is how they created it.
For 21€ this one is a great bargain, unbeliveable cheap and good. If you like navy rums, I recommend this one.
This one is almost the best classic navy blend and I think the rating of 83 is appropriate.

Nice fact:
"The navy tot by the way was often mixed with a little lime juice (to prevent scurvy) and sugar (undoubtedly to smooth out what would have been very young rum). This process may have pushed rum into the "anything goes" spirit we often see in products today. But by the way, a squeeze of lime is pretty good in rum…"
