Wood & Co Diamond Wood‘s 100 Old Navy Rum
Most people land in a similar place here: a classic dark Demerara profile — burnt sugar, licorice, molasses, a hit of coffee — that clearly tastes sweetened beyond the distillate. One taster sums it up as standard table Demerara, just the profile he loves. At 57% it's young and powerful, punching through almost any mixer, though some find the licorice and molasses lay it on thick.
- Dark Demerara character
- Cuts through mixers
- Burnt sugar depth

How does Wood & Co Diamond Wood‘s 100 Old Navy Rum taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Strong, sweetened dark Demerara mixer Liked for its old-school dark Demerara character and strength. Several note it reads sweetened, and a couple find the licorice and molasses overdone — but a strong everyday pour for the style.

Review by Jakob
Eine doch irgendwie verrückte Mischung aus klassischem Demerara-Profil der 70er und satter additiver Süsse von Melasse und Ahornsirup. Ja, hier wurde mit grösster Sicherheit nachträglich am Geschmacksprofil herumgedoktort - aber trotzdem bleibt die aromatische DNA der alten Demeraras erkennbar. Das, was den geneigten Rumliebhaber da im Glas erwartet ist eben bei Weitem nicht nur der plumpe Ansatz, ein an sich unbeeindruckendes Destillat nachträglich zu pimpen - denn offenbar war schon der Ausgangsstoff nicht gänzlich ohne Qualität. Wie gut genau kann kaum mehr bestimmt werden, dafür ist definitiv zu viel schmückendes Beiwerk involviert. Das Resultat ist zu betrachten - und das vermag durchaus noch zu überzeugen. Zu beachten: Meine Bewertung bezieht sich auf eine Abfüllung aus den 1970ern (s. Bild) - spätere Releases unterscheiden sich zT massiv im Profil.

This is a very young and powerful rum. It tastes through virtually any mixer! The proof is not 100 but 114 but maybe that has some history to it. Add a few drops of water and more flavours will be released.
Review by Johannes
Oha, erstaunlich gut! Schönes Demerara-Profil mit guter Komplexität. Mir etwas zu viel Lakritz und Melasse. Aber für so einen Standard richtig gut!
Review by N’ours
Heavy, torrified rum. Full-bodied, with wood, burnt sugar and powerful spices.
Review by Pavel Spacek
I know this is standard "table demerara rum", but this is the profile I love.

Read full review →Enjoyable stuff at a reasonable price. However go easy as it is strong stuff! I personally would buy this over Lambs or Skipper. Definitely worth having a bottle kicking around and I would imagine this would go well in tiki cocktails such as a Zombie.
