The Original Royal Navy Rum 1954 10yo 53.7% 4500ml is a true piece of history. A remarkable rum that has been aged for a decade, its origins trace back to 1954, making it a rare and invaluable collectible. Bottled at 53.7% ABV, this exceptional rum comes in an impressive 4500 ml size, which is almost unmatched in the world of rum collections. The brand Royal Navy is synonymous with the heritage and tradition of naval rums, and this particular release stands out for its historical significance and unique flavor profile. This rum was sampled from an original bottle from René's Rarities at the 10th GRF in Berlin, leaving a lasting impression. The experience was described as tasting liquid history, with the rum exhibiting an incredible complexity that is difficult to encapsulate in words. It’s a rum where every sip feels like a journey through time, thanks to its substantial Demerara content. The nose is complex and multi-layered, featuring old, dusty, charred attic floorboards, maltiness, tobacco, and hints of old furniture polish. There are also dark fruits like plum and grape, a touch of apricot, and a slightly resinous freshness that transitions into an earthy root aroma. Spices, maggi, cocoa powder, and licorice round out the olfactory experience. On the palate, the rum is spicy and woody, with malty and toasty notes, complemented by a slightly salty umami character. Licorice, roasted wood, and dark fruit flavors emerge, with the taste of tobacco making a reappearance. The rum is complex and very well balanced, with excellent ABV integration. This rum truly embodies the spirit of the Royal Navy, offering a deeply rich, nuanced flavor profile filled with historical significance. Its medium-long finish continues to tantalize the senses, making every sip memorable.
This rum is special due to its historical bottling year of 1954, its decade-long aging process, and its rare 4500 ml size. It is also notable for its complex flavor profile and high ABV of 53.7%.
Expect a mix of dark fruits, maltiness, tobacco, old furniture polish, spices, and licorice, all contributing to a complex and well-balanced taste.
