About Lost Spirits Navy Style Cask Strength Rum

Navy Style Rum is crafted from three simple ingredients: baking grade molasses, evaporated sugar cane juice and water. "By choosing or making raw materials that have the right aromatic acids in them from the start, we boost our overall ester count," says Bryan Davis the founder of Lost Spirits Distillery. A high ester count contributes notes of fruits, flower petals and spices to the rum. "For the rum, this means finding molasses that has a maximum amount of free phenolic acids without other bad tasting chemcials that might pass through the still."After sourcing the ingredients, Davis ferments them before distilling the wash through his copper-pot still. "There are two approaches to distillation,"he says. "The more common approach, called high rectification, is to ferment with a lot of bad stuff in the mix and then use the still to clean the booze up. Some people also choose to ferment very neutral booze and rely on the barrel to do all the work. This is the bubble plate pot and column strategy. The other strategy is to manage the fermentation carefully so that you can distill without plates and capture as much of the fermentation character as possible. This is a low rectification pot still strategy, and it is the one I favor because I have tight control over my fermentation and raw material selection."

Following distillation, the rum is aged in charred, American oak casks that are seasoned with Oloroso Sherry. "We use a controlled charring process in the barrels that incorporates heat, flame, and even special frequencies of light to break the compounds we want out fast," says Davis. "After that, it is about manipulating the environment to make the catalyst from the oak do its job. I won't disclose all my secrets but in truth the aging process should be seen as the last step in a long line of process decisions that create a given spirit."

About Lost Spirits

Led by Sir William Penn (whose namesake son would later found Philadelphia and Pennsylvania), the Royal British Navy sailed to the island of Jamaica in 1655 and captured the colony for the British Crown. Following the capture, the British Navy changed their daily ration of liquor for sailors from French brandy to Caribbean rum, which was available in plentiful supply. Disciplinary problems ensued when sailors began hoarding their rations for several days and consuming all their rum at once. As a result, the daily rations of rum were mixed with water in order to dilute the effects of the alcohol, with the resulting mixture called grog. If the sailors had performed valiantly during a battle or were in for heavy weather, the captain would distribute stronger rations. Bottled at an astounding 136 proof, Lost Spirits Distillery Navy Style Rum is a tribute to that bygone era.

About Rum

Rum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Most of the Rum is aged in oak or ex-wine casks, giving its color and flavor.


We distinguish between 4 different Rum categories, where white or unaged rum is mainly used in cocktails, while dark, spiced, and añejo (aged) rum are mostly enjoyed neat.
