Lamb's Navy

The reputation of this rum proceeded it so I avoided it for years. Tried it straight up recently and it lived up to it's critics, very harsh making it hard to even describe any flavour it might have. I can't imagine it being much better with a mixer and I will not be trying it.

Really nice lower budget rum for cocktails. Nice with coke.

and spiced. Overly done not a great navy rum. Supermarket own brand is comparable and often better

This rum is just that ok if you are somewhere and that is your choice then....well ok but not much else

Durchschnitt zum mixen oder mit Coke. Süßlich oder spiced?

Bitter or Rum. Classic Navy rum, I don't love it but if you are a rum lover... you must taste it !

Good for a drink in the pub with coke. Nothing more than that.

i like most dark rums and this is fine with coke and ice,you'll find it in most pubs in the uk.

I’m quite the fan of a hot chocolate and rum on a winter's night. I’d never dream of putting a decent rum in a hot drink so this is my go to. Its not as bad as some of the other cheap/entry level rums.

This is my first Lambs Rum and as expected for the $40NZD price, I knew this was going to be a simple, non complex rum with obvious flavours.
I was attracted to the bottle which caught my eye due to the St George cross emblazoned across the label. A darkened rum is enclosed and matches my wooden furniture nicely. Having tasted cheaper rums in the past I'm immediately thinking burnt treacle, black strap molasses, cautiously hot on the palate, maybe some oak, maybe some mild spice. In the glass swirls a clingy liquid which presents medium to thin legs. Molasses and caramel are on the nose once the glass is allowed to settle. It is obvious and dominates. Black strap molasses carries through to tasting, caramel notes are present as is a spiciness. I'm trying to find the oak, but it's not obvious. I want to try with ice and coke thinking this will carry nicely with the cola as I get some nuttiness in the flavor profile also.
This rum says hello and goodbye just as quick as it arrives. A warmness carries through to the stomach but nothing left in my mouth worth acknowledging.
Overall, a solid mixing rum. However will not be purchasing again, as it just does not stand out as a contender for my attention.
