Rich Heritage. Bold Flavour. A True Naval Classic.

Discover the spirit of the sea with our Navy Rum, a golden amber rum steeped in naval tradition and crafted for those who appreciate depth and character. This premium rum boasts aromas of creamy toffee and a hint of vanilla, delivering a smooth, warming finish that echoes the legacy of the British Royal Navy.

Encased in a striking bottle adorned with an embossed gold HMS Belfast crest, this rum a tribute to maritime history. Designed exclusively by the Imperial War Museums (IWM), it celebrates the daily half gill rum ration once issued to sailors aboard Royal Navy ships.

Historically, rum was a vital part of naval life—its high alcohol content made it ideal for long voyages, preserving quality when fresh water and beer failed. It also served to boost morale among the crew, becoming a cherished ritual of life at sea.

This 70cl bottle makes a perfect gift for naval history enthusiasts, rum connoisseurs, or anyone drawn to the enduring stories of HMS Belfast—stories you can explore first hand aboard the ship.
