Wood's 100 Old Navy

Wood's is the only Demerara navy rum still bottled at 57% AB, the original strength served on British Navy ships. Strong from the start, hits you like a train and doesn't let go. Brown sugar and thick toffee notes. Not to be taken lightly

I couldn't resist getting a bottle when I saw it on offer in sainsburys £16!!!
Great taste, no way would I spoil this with coke or ice or anything else.
Full of flavour,nice aroma.
Get out there and treat yourself

It's 114 proof and full of flavor. Chocolate, spices, root beer...it reminds me a lot of Gosling's, another one of my favorites. Try making a Navy Grog with this rum. The result is a powerful tiki drink which is positively addictive and delicious when done right. And even though it's an overproof rum, it's not at all overpowering...which means you can sip it straight and enjoy the ride.

This rum is famous for mixing good tiki drinks and rightly so, it adds that punch the drinks needs. Strong and flavorful.

As soon as you pour from the bottle you know this is going to be good. Very dark, a great nose and at 57%, one too savour.
Neat is not for the faint hearted, but perfectly drinkable, in a Dark & Stormy it excels.
Great traditional rum.

Reminds me of Lambs Navy Rum from Canada.. Goes good with a Coca Cola mix 🫡

At the pub and I spot this behind the bar, and I think, sod it, let's see what it's like.
Very demerera, but young and sharp and hot, with a blanket of added sugar to mask the unpleasantness!
Overall, it's pretty drinkable. Certainly I had a few, and I prefered it to the Diplomatico RE that they also had, which says something.
Hey, I'd happily drink it, but equally I'd rather drink Chairman's Reserve anytime.

This is strong stuff and the first few sips really told me this, for me a strong woody taste and a real bite with the strength, which you notice less the more you have. I drink my rum neat and I've bought to date two bottles of this, as I am new to rum and continue my rum journey I think it will be a while before I return to this.

On the nose; strongly reminds me of a Cadbury dark rum and raisin chocolate bar with a bit brown sugar bag smell and a hint of vanilla.
On the tongue; The barrel taste is for me a bit too prominent, which I think is very the brandy type of taste comes from, masking all the other lovely notes to the background, the ethanol burn is a bit like a punch in the face, there is a fleeting moment of fruits just before it finishes of to a pepper note in the throat and a tingle on the lips. Overall it is an interesting rum, I glad I tried it, but will never be my first choice.

A great Demerara! Very smooth taste with hints of brown sugar and chocolate. It's a shame that the availability of this product is quite poor.
