The Compagnie des Indes Jamaica Navy Strength 5yo rum is an exquisite blend of rums from four renowned Jamaican distilleries, namely Clarendon and Worthy Park. This premium rum has been aged for five years in bourbon casks and bottled at an impressive 57% ABV. As a tribute to the island's rich terroir, this rum contains no added sugar, capturing the authentic essence of Jamaica.
The nose is an olfactory journey dominated by rich banana notes—both dried and cooked—complemented by brioche, yeast, almond paste, tea, coconut, and dried orange peel. Exotic fruits like pineapple and mango further enhance the aromatic profile, enriched by resinous and herbaceous accents. Upon tasting, the palate is lively and assertive, presenting smoky and metallic undertones mingled with dried banana flavors. The finish is dynamic, oscillating between baker's yeast and fresh, vegetal tea bag notes.
Historically, Navy Strength rum played a crucial role aboard British Royal Navy ships. Sailors were issued a daily pint of alcohol to sanitize their drinking water, and only spirits with a minimum ABV of 57% were permitted on board. This high-proof rum ensured that if alcohol were spilled on gunpowder, it would still ignite, which was vital for the fleet's safety during pirate attacks.
This rum is a significant homage to the Royal British Navy and serves as a beautiful representation of Jamaican pot still rums, known for their "funky" and complex profiles, often reminiscent of rhum agricole. The 57% bottling is a nod to the traditional strength required for naval approval.
