This is a Navy strength blend of rums from Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica, which has been finished in casks that have a stave made from wood taken from famous Royal Navy warship, HMS Victory. It was created by the Isle of Wight distillery in The National Museum of the Royal Navy.
Banana fritters, brown sugar, a hint of lemongrass, slowly building Christmas spices.

Can get 3 bottles of rum for this price
As normally a single malt drinker, was pleasantly surprised at this rum. Smooth and not as heavy as woods or pussers. Downside price too heavy
It's good but comes up a long way short of Goslings 151 and even Wood's 100, both of which are cheaper to buy.
Back to the drawing board
Overpriced, I drink a lot of high quality rum and to me this tastes like a young artificially sweetened rum. It lacks the complexity of a true premium rum but not the price tag. Very disappointing!
