Clear color. Fruity, confected, complex aromas and flavors of lemongrass, coconut husks, licorice, and crushed pineapple with a creamy, soft, dry-yet-fruity fat body and a warming, distinctive, medium-long finish evoking accents of grapefruit candy, green papaya, warm cinnamon roll, and fresh grass. Bright and amazingly balanced, this ovenproof rum delivers the essence of summer and will be the star of the show in hand-shaken Daiquiris and Mojitos.

Overproof Rum also known as Navy Proof Rum, is Rum in any style that is over 40% ABV (or 80 Proof) and is traditionally robustly flavored. Favored by British sailors from the early 1700s until the mid-seventies, it was often mixed with water to form a ‘grog’ to be drunk by sailors out at sea.
