£35£33.57 per litreProduct information
Wood's Navy Rum is a traditional British naval style rum, still bottled at 57% and made to the original navy recipe from 1887. The spirit is made from Demerara molasses and contains three different rums, all distilled at the Diamond Distillery in Guyana, South America, before being shipped to the UK. One of these rums is distilled in the 250-year old Versailles still; the only single wooden pot still in the world. The spirits are then aged in Scotland in American refilled oak barrels for an average of 3 years, before being blended and made into Wood's Navy Rum.
Wood's is the only Demerara navy rum still bottled at 57% ABV, the original strength served on British Navy ships.
Made using traditional pot stills, it is a smooth dark rum with punchy notes of brown sugar and thick toffee.

Make sure you keep your knickers on!
To describe this over proof rum, there's only one way and it's me old Great Grandmother's Victorian musical hall song and it goes like this folks: "All the nice gals love a sailor, all the nice gals love a tar, and there's something about a sailor, and you know what sailors are! Nice and greasy, slips in easy, it's an old gals pride and joy, when they see the ship come round, they whip their knickers down, ship ahoy, ship ahoy!!!!"
One of the best.
Been drinking Woods for over 35 years and this is one of the best out there. It's normally sold for around £20/22 elsewhere so Ocado are taking the proverbial pricing it at £33.
Other online groceries sell £20 and not on offer
I nearly bought this but found this selling for £20 on a well know online retailer/grocery shop. Why Ocado charges a whopping £33 is beyond my understanding. The rum is good but the price is awful
Great rum but get it elsewhere
Firstly this is fantastic rum, it's lovely and syrupy and delicious as you'd expect from a demerera rum. My complaint is that it is £22.5 at other UK grocery retailers not on offer. Why is it so expensive? That's just wrong.
Lovely smooth rum
I'm so glad you have started stocking Wood's Old Navy Rum as it's my husband's favourite. It's so smooth with lovely toffee notes. Highly recommended.
