Better than its "standard table demerara" reputation suggests — that's the recurring surprise here. Licorice, molasses and burnt sugar pile up heavy and dark, with coffee and punchy spice behind. At 57% it's hot and cuts through any mixer, but a few drops of water pull more flavor out. A few tasters find the licorice and molasses laid on thick. Cheap, strong, unmistakably Demerara.

How does Wood & Co Diamond Wood's 100 Old Navy Rum taste?
Summarized by AI from 13 community reviews.
Heavy, licorice-driven Demerara at full strength Punches above its everyday billing — people expecting a plain navy rum keep finding real Demerara character, though a couple call the licorice and molasses too heavy.

A somewhat crazy mix of classic Demerara profile of the 70s and rich additive sweetness from molasses and maple syrup. Yes, here the flavor profile was almost certainly doctored afterwards – but still the aromatic DNA of the old Demeraras remains recognizable. What awaits the keen rum lover in the glass is by far not just the crude attempt to pimp an unimpressive distillate afterwards – because apparently the base material was not entirely without quality. How good exactly can hardly be determined anymore, as definitely too much decorative trappings are involved. The result is to be considered – and it can still convince. Note: My rating refers to a bottling from the 1970s (see picture) – later releases differ partly massively in profile.

Heavy, torrified rum. Full-bodied, with wood, burnt sugar and powerful spices.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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
Wow, surprisingly good! Nice Demerara profile with good complexity. A bit too much licorice and molasses for me. But really good for such a standard!
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.
