Introduction
Lamb's Dark Navy Rum is a traditional spirit with a heritage rooted in the Caribbean, blending rums from Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad. The brand was established in 1849 by 22-year-old Londoner Alfred Lamb, the son of a wine and spirits merchant, who matured his blends in cool cellars beneath the River Thames. While the name pays homage to the historic British Royal Navy tradition of issuing daily rum rations, the company is now a prominent part of the Corby Spirit and Wine portfolio in Canada, where it continues to honor its original maritime character and smooth, refined philosophy.
Spirit Description
This full bodied dark rum is crafted using traditional methods and is celebrated for its robust yet well balanced profile.
Color: The rum pours a deep mahogany brown with rich copper highlights.
Aroma: The nose is highly aromatic, featuring natural sweet cane and butter-rum alongside pungent molasses, treacle, toffee, and warm baking spices like nutmeg.
Palate: On the palate, it delivers a complex blend of sweet island spice, dark molasses, and caramelized fruitcake. Subtle oak undertones are balanced by notes of espresso, cinnamon, and a hint of liquorice.
Body and Finish: It possesses a smooth, velvety mouthfeel with a warm, lingering finish that leaves a slightly smoky and spicy dry impression.
The spirit is a meticulous blend of 18 different Caribbean rums, aged to achieve maturity and complexity before being bottled at 40% ABV. Its iconic hexagonal bottle was originally designed to prevent it from rolling across the decks of ships at sea.
