It’s a rather tame blend, maybe aged a wee bit, lacking any kind of single-mindedness of taste or smell…which may have been the point, as the official Navy recipe was never a static thing, and (for example) the Jamaican portion kept varying based on the opinions of the day.
Lamb’s Navy Rum is a mixing rum destined to be mixed with cola. The flavour is kind of puchy, and it suits my mood on warm days in the sunshine when I don’t want anything really complicated. A squeeze of lime helps cut the sweetness a little (see below).
