There are plenty of drinks authorities who think that rum is set for a place in the drinks spotlight. It has always been a favourite with bartenders because it mixes so well, but with many spirits drinkers turned off by the high price of single malt, there is a feeling that sipping and aged rums are ideally placed to take advantage of the desire for well made spirits with their own personality and with heritage and provenance. If there’s been a problem with the category it’s that the rules governing what is and isn’t rum are lax, and standards vary considerably across the sector. Rumbullion! Navy-Strength has no such worries. This version isn’t just greater in strength, it’s bigger in flavour, too. Cardamom and cloves join the orange and vanilla hit of its sister expressions.
