- Description
- Lamb's Demerara Navy Rum from a 1970s bottling carries the legacy of Alfred Lamb's 1849 blend—an 18-rum marriage sourced from Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad, with this expression rooted in Demerara's characteristic richness. The palate shows dark caramel, molasses and subtle spice, with the Demerara terroir adding mineral depth and a slight earthiness. The texture is full and warming at 40%, with a lingering finish of burnt sugar and wood spice. Drink this with tropical fruit or as a nightcap.
