Auto-translatedREEDIT: once apprehended, this little Navy on licorice and heavy flavors is quite pleasant. EDIT: I finally got the hang of it during this new tasting! Frankly disconcerting in pure English style, and quite nice. Gotta love the character. Nose: Molasses, brown sugar, caramel, nutmeg, coffee? On the palate: Coffee, coarse spices. Finish: slightly spicy, fairly short.
Auto-translatedIt’s possible to find the Gunpowder Proof in three different blends. The oldest one consists of rum from Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados. After that it came with a blend of Guyana and Trinidad rum. The latest one just consists of different rum from Guyana. The one I review here is the latest one. I think it’s quite complex with a good balance between sweetness and dryness.
Really enjoyable and great value, though I have a slight preference for the Black Tot at this price point for a navy rum.
