    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.
