Lamb's Navy

For a long time the most prevalent Rum in the UK, First rum i ever tried and i liked it so here i am starting to explore the world of Rum

This was the first time I've ever tried dark rum. Not too bad, it went down without complaint 👍

A simple typical navy rum, not nasty but cheap and it shows. There’s much better out there. Strong molasses taste.

Had to try this over in Scotland. Nice flavor. Too bad we can't get this in the US

I think you have to be an easy person to appreciate this room, the bottle is kind of cool. But that’s about all I got to say on that. Pollute this one with a sofa and even that won’t help.

It’s ok, the type that every household has a bottle of. God for using with a mixer.

May seem like an old man's rum but this is actually a good one

I sampled this on a night with my brother-in-law and found it quite drinkable, but also a bit non-descript. My regular mixing rum is Trawler and it has bags of flavour. However I found this one like a watered down version: it has mild notes of sweet, caramelised, brown sugar along with notes of molasses and toffee. At £15 a bottle this is well worth the price, it won't knock your favourite off its top spot, but it's a perfectly acceptable dark rum.

The high rating is probably more nostalgia than anything else, but pretty much everyone has to have a bottle of this lying around. Relatively cheap for a bucket full, mixes well with cola - and can be seen in most pubs, offy's and supermarkets. Growing up, it was the only rum I ever saw, so naturally its the first bottle of rum I ever bought for myself.

This is darker than my normal choices, but from the first nose, you realise it’s a solid old fashioned rum.
Just about smooth enough to sip over ice, but add a slice of lime, then coke and it comes into its own. One of the best for rum and coke.
Enjoy graham.
