    Wood's Old Navy Rum from Guyana's Diamond distillery, bottled by William Grant & Sons, carries an ABV of 57%, offering a bold drinking experience.

     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🤪

     For me, this is the weakest of the four that Lot-NAS has split. I don't like it pure at all. In my opinion, it doesn't really work that well in the CubaLibre either. I think there are better things for the money, both pure and as a mixer

     At the Rum House in Praha. Have noticed that I am not online and here there is no WiFi. Could not save my impressions therefore. So now from memory, which is not difficult no Woods:Insanely dark it is. Neatly colored with sugar cuoleur, that is also to smell and taste (even though it should not 😉)Nose: very dark, spicy, molasses and malty-woody. Clearly dark chocolate and lots of licorice, plus slightly burnt caramel. I don't find it bad at all, seems oldschool somehow. 7.5 Palate: the nose impression continued here. Dark-roasty, malty-woody, lots of molasses, slightly bitter and dark chocolate and licorice to boot. Simple, but effective. Totally ok. 7.6.Matched the evening very well ☺️
