First Impressions
Landlocked's Navy Rum takes their unconventional English rum-making approach and dials up the intensity to 57%. The description promises floral notes, sugarcane molasses, and an almost agave-like finish — an intriguing combination that suggests this English rum exists somewhere between traditional rum and tequila territory.
Tasting
The nose is bold and distinctive. Floral notes lead with sugarcane molasses and that promised agave-like character. At 57%, the nose carries real power.
The palate is bold. Floral notes and sugarcane form the core, with molasses adding depth. The agave-like character is genuinely present — a dry, slightly herbal quality that distinguishes this from traditional navy-strength rums. The 57% ABV provides commanding weight.
The finish is long with floral notes, sugarcane, and that distinctive agave-like close.
The Bottom Line
At £37.50, Landlocked Navy is excellent value for a navy-strength spirit. The agave-like character makes it genuinely unique — it might convert tequila fans to rum or introduce rum fans to agave-adjacent flavours. Unconventional and bold.
