Navy Strength refers to a historical proof standard used by naval forces, particularly the British Royal Navy. For rum, this means a higher alcohol content—specifically 57.1% ABV (114.2 proof)—ensuring that even if the rum spilled on gunpowder, the powder would still ignite. Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength honors this tradition by bottling the rum at 57.1% ABV.
While both rums share a core blend, the Navy Strength version is bottled at a much higher proof (57.1% ABV vs. the standard's lower ABV), creating a bolder, more intense flavor experience. It also has a greater proportion of pot still rum and includes rums aged between 2 and 4 years, contributing to its complexity and depth.
Expect vibrant aromas and flavors including vanilla, passionfruit, cardamom, leather, roasted pineapple, mocha, butterscotch, sea salt, deep oak, caramel, ripe banana, and tropical fruits. The finish is warm and lingering, with a smooth yet bold character.
This rum is versatile—it can be sipped neat to experience its full-bodied profile, or used to elevate classic rum cocktails where its high proof and robust flavors stand out. Adding a few drops of water can also help open up its aromas and smooth out the intensity.
