In the eighteenth century, Rum was the reward of choice for British sailors on the high ocean. At that time, Rum was bottled at a much higher proof so that it could be stored with the ship’s ammunition reserves. As a result, the Rum, at 57% alcohol, came to be known as Navy Strength Rum. True to the spirit style, our Navy Strength Rum is made from blackstrap molasses to offer the most intense molasses flavor possible. After aging in charred new American oak barrels, J.J. Pfister mellows the Rum 2-3 additional months in used wine casks.
