Privateer Navy Yard Barrel Proof

What an amazing rum, best privateer Ive tasted so far with toasted caramel nose, molasses and wood notes on taste and slight burn on finish.

Truly everything you want and need in a dark rum. Perfect for sipping as it’s smooth, complex, and keeps you wanting more. Ultra smooth for 115% and loaded with molasses sweetness that comes through almost like a very nice dark chocolate. A little oak taste along with browned banana to round it off. Not to mention the owner of the distillery is a purist and never adds additional sweetener or coloring to any of his rums. Be sure to snag a bottle if you see it and definitely drop by the distillery if you’re ever in the area.

I haven’t opened this one yet. Letting the anticipation build. I love their Queen’s Share, so I’m expecting great things from their Navy Yard.

Tasted June 20, 2021 at Laka Lono - the Summer Equinox!
The label is quite clear that this is a "true American rum" but don't let that turn you against it.
I had some sips and then TommyDux made me a Daiquiri. My passport is clear that I loved this rum, with the following note:
OMG there is so much flavor sailing this ship (followed by three hearts)

Skvělé pitelná záležitost s sladkostí, nakyslostí meruněk, příjemným dřevem, medem, lučními květy.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 9/19/21. Pours amber. Nice butterscotch and caramel aroma. Flavors of molasses, caramel, treacle. This is a crazy 110 proof, yet easily drinkable neat. Add a few drops of water and this outrageously becomes salty!!

V tomto rumu cítím ve vůni něco trochu sladkého. Po kouknutí do pomocného kolečka vůní si upřesňuji, že je to nejspíše máslo a máslové karamelky. V chuti je to ale pravý opak, nástup hned od začátku s odezněním jakoby do meruněk, nebo spíše zkvašené meruňkové marmelády. Asi nejsem pro tento typ rumů prozatím vhodným konzumentem. Vzorek jsem dostal od člověka, kterému jsem chtěl darovat vzorek CARONI 21.

K tomuto rumu jsem si chvíli hledal cestu, ale nakonec musím uznat jeho kvalitu. Mladý, ostřejší, plný mléčné čokolády. Kdo má rád poctivé rumy třeba od R. Seala, bude velmi spokojen i s prací M. Campbell.

Very smooth for the proof, first sip will wake up your mouth. Great flavors of vanilla, oak and toffee. My go to Navy strength.

Smooth sipping rum with a hint of bananas and exotic finish.
