  From Ugeavisen.dk:
  
  Whisky enthusiasts rejoice over rare rum from the British fleet.
  A similar bottle of B.R.N rum in a Gallon bottle has been for sale at a wine merchant in Denmark for about 45,000 Danish kroner.
  
  The two whisky enthusiasts Ulrik Bertelsen and Henrik Olsen from Whisky.dk in Sjølund, besides their great passion for whisky, also have a great love for rum. They are currently jubilant because, just inside the door, have arrived 2 completely unique bottles of rum. They are not just the classic Bacardi rum, but two truly original bottles wrapped in wicker and sealed with wax at the top and in the original transport case they were shipped in - back when they left the rum factory, to be shipped off together with the Royal British Navy, so the sailors could get their daily "Tot of Rum." The special bottles are namely a B.R.N rum (British Royal Navy) from around 1970, tells the whisky enthusiasts from Sjølund in a sent out message and add:
  
  Each bottle contains One Imperial Gallon equivalent to 4.54 liters. After the navy stopped issuing the daily ration of rum, there were still stocks of rum around on the navy's ships, and these stocks were recalled and put in storage, and some of the bottles only emerged and were sold at auction to a retired navy captain in 1970. The bottles probably contain good strong rum from Pusser's at Navy Strength of 57.15%. Very practically, the "rum bottles" were placed in a basket with a handle (called "demi-johns"), which protected the ceramic bottle from bumps and blows. That could be necessary at sea.
  A similar bottle of B.R.N rum in a Gallon bottle has been for sale at a wine merchant in Denmark for about 45,000 Danish kroner - and the importer MacY opened a bottle at a festival a few years ago.
  
  The British spirits writer Dave Broom, who is also the author of the large book "Rum" from Politikens forlag, has written a special article on the subject. Here he tells that the dispensing of rum in the British fleet is assumed to go back to 1655 when Jamaica was conquered, and thereby a lot of rum.
  
  He writes: "The original rum was raw and violent, but "pirates" and sailors in the fleet didn't care. This new booze "kills the devil" (kill-devil), this "rumbullion" (the locals' name for the drink, it became the name rum) had a raw and violent taste, but it had many functions on board. It lifted spirits, it acted as medicine, it alleviated fatigue, and it was often the only thing to drink."
  
  Dave writes about the development in the quality of the rum, at the end of the 17th century: "Mr. James Man from Deptford?.was one of the earliest big merchants who would revolutionize the rum industry by going from just trading to blending the purchased rum for his own brand." That was when "navy rum" went from just being a spirit to becoming a rum style with its own character." James Man became the sole supplier to the entire British fleet.
  
  The dispensing continued until July 31, 1970, known as "the black tot day" (tot = mug with rum) among sailors.

  SAMPLE 3 cl Volbeat XXV Rum Limited Edition Jamaica and Guyana 43%

  Item no.: 22254-887525 - 2

  Volbeat XXV Rum Limited Edition Premium Rum 43% 

  Volbeat XXV Rum Limited Edition marks a 25‑year anniversary that isn’t just celebrated – but immortalised. This rum is created as a distilled expression of the band’s energy, attitude and history, resulting in a dark, golden and uncompromising release available in only 2,300 individually numbered bottles. When they’re gone, they’re gone, and previous anniversary editions have shown that Volbeat fans don’t wait. That’s why this bottle is already a sought‑after collector’s item, presented in a black and gold gift box with clear Volbeat identity and details that appeal directly to those who want to own a piece of the band’s universe. It’s a rum for collectors, for gift‑givers who want something with edge, and for anyone who knows that the most exciting limited editions disappear while others are still thinking.

  The rum is crafted as a premium blend of four distinctive rums that together create depth, warmth and power. Three components come from Guyana, distilled between 2001 and 2014, delivering the dark foundation, molasses, spice, body and characteristic sweetness Guyana is known for. The fourth component is a Jamaican pot still rum from 2015, adding fruity energy, aromatic edge and a raw tropical kick. The combination results in a rum with massive volume, heat and intensity – exactly the kind of expression expected from an anniversary rum carrying the Volbeat name.

  Volbeat XXV is blended at The Main Rum Company Limited in Liverpool by Master Blender Ian Smith, with Michael Poulsen personally involved in shaping the rum’s character. This means the rum is not just a product with a Volbeat logo, but a genuine part of the band’s creative universe. It appears dark, bold and original, with an attitude that matches the music and the story behind it.

  The flavour profile is deep and intense with notes of overripe tropical fruit, dark molasses, demerara sugar, warm spices, oak and cocoa. On the palate it is full‑bodied, warm and vibrant with syrupy sweetness, tropical nuances, spicy edges and a long, warm finish that lingers and evolves. It is a rum that can be enjoyed slowly, shared with other fans or kept as a collector’s item that will only grow more interesting over time.

  Volbeat XXV Rum Limited Edition is created for those who want a rum with darkness, depth and power – and at the same time own a piece of Volbeat’s 25‑year history. A rum made for collectors, enthusiasts and Volbeat fans who want a mature, classic and characterful Guyana rum with a unique twist.
