NAVY STRENGTH RUM

NAVY STRENGTH RUM

Mainbrace Navy Strength Rum, 54.5%​ ABV

Mainbrace Navy Strength Rum is crafted from the same blend as Premium Golden Rum, but has an ABV of 54.5%, which is consistent with the Royal Navy Standard. This was the lowest alcohol content that would still allow gunpowder to light if it was soaked in the rum. So, the term “proof” came from testing whether the rum was of high enough ABV to light the gunpowder.

The nose begins with sweet woody aromas that eventually subside to dried fruits and caramel. The palate has an initial peppery spice that quickly becomes naturally sweet treacle notes with a hint of spiced vanilla.
