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.]

Smokey, molasses, dark sugar flavored. Good with mixed drinks or over ice as a sipper.
I liked this with a ginger flavor, seemed to compliment the flavors.

Put this in anything calling for a navy strength rum. A true jamaican style, it packs a punch on the nose and palate. Great with tropical cocktails calling for a Navy style, or aged Jamaican.

Smoother than W&N, and a little more approachable, at a gunpowder proof 57%, this made a terrific alternative in a rum old fashioned. I ended up tweaking the ratio of Havana Club 7yo (less of) to this (more of), to compensate for the loss of strength compared to using W&N.
Delicious, bravo.

The color is a nice deep gold. As soon as you pour this rum, you can smell the funkiness. The taste is quite nice. The Jamaican funk envelops the tongue with just a bit of spiciness. A nice sipping rum. It might be a bit too strong a taste for many cocktails which is fine with me!

Syruppy texture, butterscotch flavour, a kick of molasses and alcohol, but nice. Very very very very good!!

This has a lovely nose and flavor, ripe bananas, slight leather and caramel. My imagination thinks the hogo was there, but the search continues.

Truly a value for money bottle. A lot of Jamaican funk right there. Banana and tropical Fruit.
