A bold, high-proof tribute to the golden age of piracy, this robust navy rum is bottled at a formidable 111 proof—just as the seafaring legends would have demanded. The nose erupts with molasses, burnt caramel, and dark stewed fruits, followed by a whiff of oak spice, black pepper, and a briny, almost smoky edge that evokes the deck of a tall ship.
On the palate, it’s unapologetically rich and fiery—dense flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, and dried figs collide with charred oak, clove, and a touch of leather. The high proof amplifies the rum’s intensity, yet a honeyed sweetness keeps it from being harsh. The finish is long and smoldering, leaving behind tobacco, dark chocolate, and a lingering, peppery warmth that demands another sip.
