Not an Austrian rum! This bottling is a blend of Barbados and Dominican Republic rums. The distillery that bottled it is also not Austrian (Albert Michler), but Czech, however it had a long history of supplying the Royal family of the Austrian Empire.
Aged in Bourbon, sherry, malt whisky and port casks in a solera system, with an average of 18 years.
A big step up from the ‘Reserve 1863,’ this rum is packed with notes of dried fruit, tropical fruit, vanilla, cream, honey, tobacco, old oak, cedarwood, chocolate, bananas and coconut.
Spicy, drinkable and flavoursome, this is a well-balanced spirit throughout.
Though it bears the “Navy Rum” title, it is not bottled at Navy Strength.
A superb sipper, with a bit of a history to it.
