A blended rum in the heavy, full-bodied style of historic navy rums. Oliver Chilton combines rums from Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and, for the first time, Grenada with a reserve carried across several editions. The Grenada rum was distilled in 1993 and adds depth and pronounced orange oil notes. Chocolate, espresso, cocoa and wood smoke meet stone fruits, including peach.
The recipe comprises 31.5% Guyana, 18.3% Barbados, 9% Jamaica, 19% Trinidad and 2.7% Grenada rum, plus 19.5% perpetual blend. That reserve consists of 19% Master Blender's Reserve 2022 and 0.5% historic Royal Navy rum. The blend uses pot stills, wooden pot stills and column stills, with tropical and continental ageing.
It is bottled in Scotland at 54.5% ABV, is not chill-filtered and contains no added sugar or flavourings. The 70cl bottle comes in a gift box.
