Hamilton Navy Strength Rum is a careful blend of Jamaican and Guyanese rums. It is called "Navy Strength" because it is bottled at 57% alcohol by volume, the traditional strength required by the British Royal Navy. At this proof, if the spirits spilled while in storage, it would not prevent the stored gunpowder from igniting when eventually used. West Indian rum is known for its deep, full flavors and pleasant aromas. On the palate, rich notes of exotic spice, banana, tobacco and smoky oak blend with flavors of dried fruit and honey.
