Wood's is made from the finest sugar cane and distilled in Guyana, South America. Bottled at 57% abv, it is one of the highest percentage volume dark rums out there right now, at least at this price.
Its smooth enough to enjoy neat, but also a killer choice for cocktails.
Toffee, cinnamon, cloves and pepper spice on the nose with thick caramel notes.
Muscovado sugar, soft toffee and just a hint of the spice detected on the nose. This is very smooth, belying its hefty abv.
Surprisingly short but thick and syrupy toffee notes abound.
A rich, dark rum with a high abv that retains its smoothness. Would work well in a dark and stormy, despite the fact Wood's is distilled in Guyana, and not Bermuda.
Phew, powerful stuff, full of mollasses, tropical jungle and spice, great with the blue and orange chocs from Quality street :)
Normally a Havana 7,Appleton estate man,came across this brand, fantastic full flavour heavy hitter, oh yeah a new convert.
First tried Wood's 100 on holiday back in 1981. A very robust Rum taken neat and at 57% ABV lends itself well mixed in a cocktail too. A great "Winter Warmer" to keep the weather out. Price is not bad either, can be found in Supermarkets at around £20 GBP for 70CL bottle
First had this run on our honeymoon 41yrs ago and loved it ,we were on plastic boat on the Thames ,lost taste for it when pregnant, but now on our narrow boat rediscovered Woods rum, Sailor Jerry and Kraken are ok but Woods is the best
Absolutely lovely
