At 57% ABV (114 proof) this navy strength rum will kick your ass. I will stomp a mudhole in ya and walk it dry. Definitely not a rum for the uninitiated. Initially upon sipping one gets a taste of sweetness...molasses...a little vanilla...and then the burn hits...a burn which feels like a layer of skin is being eaten away in ones throat leaving a little tingling on the tongue. But that all fades rather quickly enticing one to take another sip. Almost as a double-dog dare. This is he-man's rum. The amber color belies how little aging goes into this rum. I really cannot identify the aroma in the bottle but it's a good aroma. Admittedly this is the first overproof rum I have sampled so I really have no frame of reference but from the flavor I would seriously think it would work well in mixed drinks especially frozen and fruit-based drinks. Quite an interesting rum.

[UPDATE: A day after posting my initial review I tried this rum with Coke Zero. For whatever it's worth I used my normal 3oz of rum mixed with the 16.9oz bottle of Coke Zero knowing full well this was going to have more of a "kick" than the normal 80 proof rums I normally use in Coke Zero. Although it wasn't horrible, it wasn't good either. Ended up tossing it and fixing another rum & Coke Zero with an 80 proof rum. I will try it again someday but with half the amount of the S&C Navy Strength rum and see how that works.]

Smith and Cross is awesome. Extremely flavourful and aromatic and utterly lacking in subtlety, it's challenging as a sipper but incredible in cocktails and mixes.

Mir zu scharf, nicht mein Ding beim Pur trinken von Rums.

I discovered this rum fortuitously and what a surprise! It's strong at first due to the alcoholic degree but then, plenty of aromas come in mouth! This rum is more than affordable and it became my guilty pleasure. As a result, I don't have anymore to take a picture!

Aroma is nice and typical jamaica. Taste is woody with some caramel and vanilla touch, but very fast covered by burning (it feels stronger than 57%). Aftertaste is long and full of esters. The price is very low (25Eur).

Solid rum. Cheap AF, but full of funk and character. You can't get anything better at this price point.

Ein Rum mit einem fantastischen Geschmack - mir ist er aber leider etwas zu stark. Für die Hartgesottenen ein wahrer Genuss, mir ist er aber - zumindest derzeit - noch etwas zu heftig. Würde ihn gerne in Standardstärke kosten 😉 Definitiv nichts für jedermann.

Just enough funk when you want it. Great as a mixer. A tiki must. Even great in Coke.

It was my favorite until I found Lemonhart 151.

Pivotal spirit in tropical/tiki cocktails. This is the quintessential funk additive for drab drinks begging for diversity. You’ll never use another rum in a painkiller ever again.
