# 23.10.2025 A nice relaxing day with Fabian in a summehouse in Blåvand 🇩🇰 The nose is absolutely gorgeous and well balanced despite the ABV. Nice eucalyptus, light wood, faint pear, light dried fruit, faint floral, ligt tar. On the palate it's very well balanced with lots of natural sweetness. Fruity with nice caramel,light wood and some faint mint. Medium long and sweet with nice light cherry ad raisin,very faint tar.

Welch eine positive Überraschung und wenn ich das PLV zusätzlich dabei sehe eine echte Empfehlung für jeden Navy-Liebhaber 👍🏻 In der Nase überwiegen klar und deutlich die TDL-Marker, wobei auch leichte Hampden- und Caroni-Aromen erkennbar sind. Am Gaumen eine schöne Komplexität aus dunklen Beeren, Frische, gebranntes Karamell, Fass, Würze, Mokka und leichtem Teeraroma. Zum Schluss überwiegen dann die schweren dunklen Aromen die sich auch im Abgang halten 😋. So muss ein Navy sein

Nose: very relaxed and still lots to discover! I recognize Jamaica at first, darker notes are also there but I can't place them. Palate: very complex and balanced! I find freshness like in a Grays but also dirt. New associations keep coming up. Finish: no trace of bitterness, more freshness, herbs. I'm overwhelmed by making notes on this rum. My recommendation: just enjoy it!

Now this is some very nice Navy richness on the nose. TDL is in the driver seat with berry notes. Caroni workshop notes are also quite noticeable and provide additional depth. DDL and Hampden add additional complexity on the nose. Very nice blend! Same picture on the palate, very well executed and balanced. Not dominated by DDL, yet on the darker and noticably complexed side of Navy blends. Very well done.

On enchaîne le comparatif de Navy Rum. 👃 Dominance du profil TDL (baies noires, eucalyptus), le Caroni juste derrière (goudron chaud, huiles essentielles, fleurs d'arbres fruitiers), le Guyana un peu en retrait (chocolat noir, sève, caramel sur la bruyère, fruits secs). Le Hampden doit être un low ester et/ou en petite quantité. Celui-ci apporte tout un ensemble de fruits du verger (on est loin du classique combo ananas/banane surmûris) tel que la poire, la pomme verte, l'abricot sec. L'assemblage de tous ces styles développent même des arômes d'orge maltée. Un nez complexe, étagé, sur un versant fruité. 😋 Davantage marquée par le bois et le style Demerara. Fût de chêne grillé, épices (piment, poivre, épices de cuisine), caramel de sucs de fruits, chocolat noir. Je retrouve les fruits, plutôt secs comme ceux des cakes de Noël, baies noires, traces de goyave et de papaye confite. Note de goudron chaud, diesel léger, sève. Une fin de bouche sur du thé noir et des feuilles de menthe séchées. Une bouche équilibrée, huileuse, plus sombre qu'au nez, mais sans être écrasante de bois. Alcool très bien intégré qui booste à la perfection les différentes saveurs. ⛳ Longue, chaude, boisée, pimentée, sèche, amère, fraîche et tannique. Note de cerise, de menthe séchée, sensation herbacée. 🏆 Respect de l'équilibre des origines de l'assemblage (bien que la Jamaïque soit en retrait je trouve), un ensemble équilibré, évolutif, complexe. Un excellent représentant du style Navy Rum, qui plus est à un prix défiant toute concurrence (115€ les 50cl). Je suis déçu de ne pas l'avoir commandé à temps. 📝 Classement en cours ; Velier Royal Navy (92) > SotD Navy Rum (90) > Swell Funky Navy (89) > Velier Tiger Shark (86+).

8.4/10

die Navy Rums schießen ja gerade wie Pilze aus dem Boden, da muss sich der SOTD einiger Konkurrenz erwehren…erster Eindruck an der Nase: eher von der fruchtigen Sorte, ich würde auf einen 2005er oder 2009er TDL tippen. Danach kommt das Diamond Profil. Hampen ist nicht super intensiv, eher so Medium Range Ester. Den Caroni Anteil kann ich nur mit viel gutem Willen erkennen. Der Gaumen ist sehr rund und würzig, angenehm süffig mit ordentlich langem Abgang. Die Bewertung fällt mir schwer, weil er echt nicht schlecht gemacht ist. Aber wenn ich dann zB mit dem Tiger Shark vergleiche, der intensiver und auch noch günstiger ist auf die 70cl umgerechnet, relativiert sich alles etwas.
