Flavour profile
Nose: Vanilla, caramel, coconut, charred oak, ripe banana and dark demerara sweetness, with a faint “diesel” edge and spicy molasses giving it a true navy character.
Palate: Full-bodied and powerful, with sweet notes of vanilla and coconut, brown sugar/demerara, toffee, oak, warm spices and a slight roughness that fits the navy style.
Finish: Long, warm and spicy, with wood, liquorice, spice, a touch of bitterness and an oily, satisfying tail.
Serving suggestions Imperial Navy Blend is best enjoyed neat or with just a drop of water to unlock the aromas and soften the punch. It also makes a superb base for bold, spirit-forward rum cocktails where its strength, depth and dark sweetness can really shine.
