Product Information

Wood's Navy Rum
Wood's Navy Rum is a traditional British naval style rum, still bottled at 57% and made to the original navy recipe from 1887. The spirit is made from Demerara molasses and contains three different rums, all distilled at the Diamond Distillery in Guyana, South America, before being shipped to the UK. One of these rums is distilled in the 250-year old Versailles still; the only single wooden pot still in the world. The spirits are then aged in Scotland in American refilled oak barrels for an average of 3 years, before being blended and made into Wood's Navy Rum.

Wood's is the only Demerara navy rum still bottled at 57% ABV, the original strength served on British Navy ships.
Made using traditional pot stills, it is a smooth dark rum with punchy notes of brown sugar and thick toffee.

Further Description

The Original Navy Strength Rum.

The original strength of rum served on board British naval ships was 57% and today Wood's is the only Demerara rum bottled at this strength.

Made from sugar cane grown along the banks of the Demerara River, it is still made in traditional pot stills to produce a dark rum of uncommon strength.

This uncommon strength brings out the best of our flavours - punches of brown sugar and thick toffee. Despite it's strength it's slow aging means it characterised by an unbelievably smooth, mellow taste.
Enjoy Wood's straight, on ice, or with a mixer such as a cola or lemonade. Wood's is the perfect ingredient to add to a cocktail to give a distinctive kick.
