Planteray 'Mister Fogg Sail No. 1' Navy Rum is a tribute to the late Michael Fogg, a distinguished British naval veteran who played a significant role in preserving the legacy of Navy rum. This expression captures the authentic essence of traditional Navy rum, embracing the time-honored practices that have defined this spirit for centuries. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this rum reflects Fogg’s passion and profound understanding of naval heritage.
The rum itself is a masterful blend, featuring rums from multiple regions known for their rich, bold flavors. Each batch undergoes a double aging process in used barrels, followed by dynamic aging at sea, allowing the liquid to develop complex layers of flavor. The signature process of Navy active vatting, combined with burnt sugar browning, results in a deep, rich profile with notes of dark molasses, dried fruits, and warm spices, making it a true connoisseur’s choice. The spirit is known for its robust character, perfect for sipping neat or with a splash of water.
