William Grant & Sons Diamond Wood‘s Old Navy Rum

Most enjoy its heavy molasses, coffee and dark chocolate profile and strong value, while critics find it too bitter, boozy and clearly colored. Consensus: solid, characterful mixer, niche but fun neat.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or bitterness, and drinkers avoiding added coloring or looking for a smooth, sweet, easy-sipping rum to drink neat.

    The smell is very strong, very spicy, roasted aromas, dark chocolate - extremely pleasant. A taste of coffee, dark chocolate, alcoholic burn, spices, oily finish.A very pleasant Navy rum.

    Very cool dark color😎 It‘s a nice daily driver with some lovely notes of the barrel, dried fruits and dark chocolate, some hidden notes of licorice, prunes and cinnamon. In addition i found a bitter note, which I couldn‘t assign. The alcohol is integrated very well. Allez les bleus🤪

    Eigentlich ein krass leckerer PLV-Hammer für „Nicht-Nerds“.

    For the price, a solid rum. Not sweet but finely spicy.
