This new expression from Planteray pays homage to historical Navy Rums of the past, taking cues such as sourcing from multiple countries and delivering at a high ABV.
I’ve liked a lot of Navy Style rums including Pussers Gunpowder Proof, Wood’s, and Black Tot. I’ve also been able to taste vintage 1960s era British Royal Navy Rum on a couple of occasions.
Mister Fogg is very mild when placed against those other rums, which is good in that you can drink this neat very easily. But in a cocktail like the Mai Tai I didn’t feel it had the flavorful oomph that normally expect for a rum at 55.7% ABV.
Your mileage might vary but for me this was a bit of a disappointment.
