„I’m extremely honoured to have a few drops of rum history in my glass. The colour is quite dark and once you plunge your nose into the glass you are hit with a ton of aromas. Dried fruit, vanilla, wood, spices, caramel and leather. I could n’ose the glass for hours. On the palate I get the same, the rum is round and complex with a lovely finish. Quite amazing when you think about the sailors drinking this and similar blends. They sure got some good stuff back in the day. Many, many thanks to Michael for the sample! 🤗“

„Ein besonderer Moment, nichts für Landratten. Zwei Zitronen ins Samplingglas gegen die Skorbut und dazu laut „What shall we do with the drunken sailor“ singen… Ein sehr herber Geruch. Leder, Tabak, Karamell und im Hintergrund schöne Noten an Lösungsmittel und Politur, dann eine wunderschöne blumige Note. Daran kann man ewig riechen. Im Mund dann sehr ledrig, Tabak und ein sehr langer, guter Abgang. Diesmal etwas alkoholisch. Ein wirklich toller Rum und ein schönes Stück Geschichte, es erstaunt, welch gutes Getränk die Matrosen in der Royal Navy zu trinken bekamen. Danke nach Bonn für dieses schöne Erlebnis.“

„Not exactly this Flagon, but from the 60s (bottled 'Southern Area' = Portsmouth Victualling Yard), i.e. when there was still the original Navy Blend at the command 'splice the mainbrace' (the MoD Defence Catering Manual number 0527 still provides for the command, but now 62.5ml 'commercial spirit', 500ml beer or 330ml soft drink (!) are served). The Navy Blend from the 450cl Flagon (even opening the wax seal is an experience!) has to prove itself against the Black Tot Last Consignment. First impression on the nose: very similar profile, Maggi spice, raisins, malt, tobacco, wax and butterscotch. On the palate spice, caramel and toasted flavors. In the finish barrel and mocha. Feels everything seems a little more intense than the LC, definitely a piece of liquid history!“

„I’ts been a while since I’ve reviewed a rum and I can’t find a better nectar for my come back other than this good old flagoon navy rum! This thing is THICK! Dark brown-ish color,non the nose is so intense and flavorful that it seems unreal..raisins, sweet spices, wet wood, leather with a hint of tobacco and a touch of freshness (mint-y like)..flavors that are more or less the same on the palate, where the rum remains very balanced and oily..it has a looong finish and absolutely not dry..amazing stuff.. sooo lucky to have tasted it!!“

„Heute ist ein ganz besonderer Rum im Samplingglas. Ein Royal-Navy aus den 60er Jahren. Farbe extrem dunkel und zieht Schlieren ohne Ende im Glas. Man erkennt auch einige Unreinheiten. Im Geruch ist eine hohe Komplexität. Es überwiegen schwere Noten von Eiche, Backgewürz, Trockenfrüchte, Rotwein, Leder sowie dreckige, ölige Noten und Rauch. Im Geschmack erstaunlich mild. Auch hier viel Trockenfrüchte und Fass. Aber auch wieder etwas Werkstatt wie man es vom Caroni kennt. Abgabg sehr lange mit Leder und Fass. Der Refraktometer gibt 53-54 ABV aus. Ein toller Rum für besondere Anlässe. Fast noch einen Tick besser als der Tot L.C. Das ist aber vlt. nur der Subjektive Einfluss. 😉“

„Rum from one of the original Demijohns, filled with an imperial gallon of rum from (maybe) the 1970's. Tasting this on Black Tot day 2023. Complex notes of raisin, tropical fruits, some smokiness and a subtle funkiness“
