A Legacy of Strength:
The Navy Strength designation dates back to the age of sail, when high-proof rum was carried aboard ships. At 57.1% ABV, this ensured that even if it spilled on gunpowder, the powder would still ignite—a crucial factor in naval warfare. Trudiann Branker honors this tradition by crafting a rum that embodies both strength and refinement.
Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a bold cocktail, Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength is a must-have for rum enthusiasts seeking intensity, history, and craftsmanship in every sip.
