Liberty Call San Diego County Navy Strength White Rum

Cane Juice, Turned Up
Liberty Call's rums start from evaporated cane juice — a clean form of raw sugar — rather than the molasses base most rum drinkers know, and the distillery ferments it with wine yeast and a house dunder, the recycled wash rum-makers use to build flavour. The navy strength bottling takes that fruity, nutty white rum and turns the volume up for cocktail work: this is the bottle you float on a tiki drink when a standard-proof rum would disappear. Find it in our rum collection, or browse the distillery's gin and other rums on the Liberty Call vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Tropical fruit and berries. Palate: Fruity and nutty — hazelnut and almond alongside the tropical fruit. Finish: Banana, strawberry and apricot.
How to Enjoy
Use it where overproof rum earns its place: a float on a Mai Tai or Zombie, a Daiquiri that needs to stay assertive over ice and citrus, or a small measure anywhere a recipe calls for navy strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'navy strength' mean? It is the traditional overproof class of rum — historically strong enough that gunpowder soaked in it would still ignite — and this bottling sits well above Liberty Call's regular 90-proof white rum.
Is it made from molasses? No — per the distillery's own description, the base is evaporated cane juice, fermented with wine yeast and a proprietary dunder.
Is it aged? No — it is a white, unaged rum; the flavour comes from the cane juice base and the fermentation, not from barrels.
