Ableforth’s Rumbullion! Navy-Strength Rum 57% Vol. 0,7l

Description

Ableforth’s took their famous Rumbullion! and bottled it at Navy Strength to create a much much ‘bigger’ drink. This is a warming concoction that would no doubt give a sailor vim and vigour on a stormy night!

Rumbullion! Navy Strength is made using a secret recipe with a Caribbean rum at its spicy core. Expect big spicy flavours of cardamom, clove and vanilla in this legendary spiced rum.

Navy Strength is 57% abv. Many say that this was so that the gunpowder would still explode if the rum was spilt on it, but we can absolutely assure you that navy strength rum-soaked gunpowder is useless for firing cannon balls (not that we tried it… no, that would be dangerous).

Nose: Incredibly intense. Buckets of vanilla combine with flamed orange zest. A spicy, rich nose with candied peels, cola syrup, cloves, cardamom and oak.

Palate: An absolutely huge whack of high-proof spicy vanilla-laden complexity. Cola cubes, molasses and honey, cinnamon and crme caramel. Hints of Valencia oranges with cloves and mixed peels.

Finish: An incredibly long finish, cinnamon, allspice and creamy custard apples.

Overall: If there was ever going to be anything that could top the standard Rumbullion! this is it. The additional ABV will be a welcome boon to those used to cask-strength whiskies, and those who appreciate deep and intense flavours.
