Irish People Try Navy Strength Rum For The First Time

Today you're trying Navy Strength Rum. So proper pirates, like, like, are we talking like the Navy or the color Navy? Y'har. Yeah, Navy. Y'har Navy. Yeah. Navy Strength means the rum is bottled at 57% ABV. And it's stronger than standard rum. Definitely. Reminds you of a pirate to be at that high strength because it wouldn't interfere with gunpowder if spilled. Meaning it was reliable enough to bring aboard. Come here to me. Was this a little, was this a little story that they may have made up saying like, Oh no, it has to be, it has to be this strength. Otherwise it'll interfere with the gunpowder when really they just want to get pissed at sea. It's stronger than normal rum because you didn't give it to the guys neat. They mixed it with water and it was called grog rum. So grog, a cup of grog. That's where that comes from. How do you know this? I did a master's in military history and strategic studies. So you're a virgin. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. Main brace, Navy Strength Rum. Born in Cornwall, sourced in the Caribbean. Sweet merciful hour. Is it strong? Smells like a grandfather's clock or something. Main brace, pays tribute to the Royal Navy tradition of the daily rum tot. When sailors toasted the monarch from a specially made polished oak rum barrel adorned with brass bands and royal toasted brass letters. Yada, yada, yada. Rum, drink it, you dun fox. Oh, you shot it. Woo! Is that gentle enough? Oh. No? Whoa. Sweet merciful hour. Ooh, it does have a nice kick to it. That's incredible. That's so good. Do you mind if I see if there's a pop? Yeah. It's terrible. Let me try it. Ah! One more time, one more time. Last time, last time. Ah! It's, there's definitely like a higher percentage feel to it but it doesn't feel like that much. Kate! It's a very spiced kind of rum. I feel like if I was to drink this and I was a pirate back in the day, I'd be proactive. What do you need, Captain Rock? You'd be getting ---- done. Yeah, let's ******* go! It is hefty. It is formidable. Oh, I wanna fight a bear. What do you think of the taste of it apart from how rough it is, I suppose? I don't know, I think it's quite gentle. I think it's quite nice. I think the taste is quite, I think it's nice. It's a nice taste, like. Yeah. Yeah, I really like it. I don't want to like it because of, you know, the whole colonial thing but like, it's quite nice. Oh, clear rum. Oh, this is your cup of tea, maybe? There's a turtle! It's got a little turtle on the front. And look at this. Saving sea turtles one sip at a time. This is our purpose. Every year, thousands of newly hatched sea turtles scurry across Caribbean beaches and disappear beneath the waves. They won't be seen again for up to a decade. Where they go during these lost years is a mystery. But we do know that these ancient creatures are in danger of extinction and could soon disappear forever. So raise a glass and help us raise money. Every bottle sold saves up to 10 baby turtles. We have saved 10 baby turtles, wow! That's actually like a really good reason to drink, isn't it? Is he okay? Take all my money. Look at us, we're heroes. We're not just here to drink alcohol, folks. We're saving the turtles. How many turtles have you saved today? Can we cover them in ooze and teach them the ways of the ninja? That'd be great, because then we'd have 10 of them. But I don't know that many renaissance artists. Heroes in a half shell. Turtle power. This one's more like a vodka. Mm, you can really taste the turtle, can't you? I knew the turtles couldn't hurt us. Oh, it definitely gives you a bit more of the... I would prefer this. I'm a white rum gal. You are. I think I just realized that today. I think I prefer the dark rum. It feels like it has like the alcohol burn, but none of the good taste. It's kind of like the worst part of it without the best part. I'd sip on the other one longer. Yeah, same. That one, I can barely get a sip in. I feel like you could have like a gin and tonic with this. Like, it's not really rum. It's like you could mix it with something else and you'd have a great time. That is very true. I'm assuming something like more, this is like a blank canvas that you can like work with whatever you want. Put a load of bits in. Yeah, yeah. Make your own cocktail. Give me all the bits I can and save the turtles while you're doing it. And save the turtley booze. Compared to the first one? Not as good. Really reminded me more of a vodka, not just because of the clarity, but like there's no real flavor at all. Normally, I'm not one for following rules. You know me. I'm a wild boy, a bad boy. You know what I mean? I'm a big, strong boy. I'm a bad little baby. You know what I mean? But this is, when they say it's probably perfect for like cocktails and mixing, probably better to do that. It's very strong though. It'd be hard to mask, I imagine. Honest to goodness, this is a 12 out of 10 for me. Oh. Yeah, love it. I would just prefer the first one, but I have no problem with it. Do you know that kind of way? It's just a personal taste. Don't give out to me. It's okay. Just, just please. Take out the turtles, Keith! Take out the turtles! Oh, I gotta save the turtles. Okay, I'll do it. If we had more of this, we'd be out in Dollyman Strand looking for turtles. We'd be like, we're gonna save you, Cody. Give you a little bit of this, and then you go back out the door. And like, it's a ******* traffic cone. That's so innocent. I was like, let's break into a pet shop and liberate the turtles. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, it's already wrapped in my paper bag for me. That's nice of them. No, take all my money. I don't care how much this is. This is a bit of me now. It's a bit arts and crafts, but we got a bit of wax. What they've done is, aesthetically, they've leaned into the old-timey Navy vibe. Yeah. And sometimes I'm a sucker for just going all in on what you're selling. Yeah. Navy strength is crafted from a blend of only the richest and most flavorsome Caribbean rums. This award-winning spiced rum offers the perfect balance being both smooth and rich while delivering intense flavors. This is, smells very sweet. This smells like, like toffee or- Yeah. Some kind of candy. I like the rich color. I hope that's not caramel E-150 and it's actually a color from the ingredients. Spice the, uh, Spice the Man Brace, Main Brace, sorry, Main Brace. Yeah, the Main Brace. Main Brace. Yeah, so remember the first one was called Main Brace? Ah. But this is, but the Main Brace is a part of a ship. Spice the Main Brace is an order given aboard naval vessels to issue the crew with an alcoholic drink. Originally an order for one of the most difficult emergency repair jobs aboard a sailing ship, it became a euphemism for authorized celebratory drinking afterward and then the name of an order to grant the crew an extra ration of rum or grog. I've also heard Spice the Main Brace at a gentlemen's club that I was at once. Oh, that's the one. That's fantastic. That is beautiful. Holy crap. Very Christmassy. If you were to drink Christmas, that is, that's it. That is, that is Christmas. That's Christmas. In liquid form. That is, that is cheer and merry. You don't look at that. It is cheer. It's just kind of, it's just taking, It's taking your mind to Christmas. It's cheer and it's Christmas like I remember as a kid. Terrible. Oh, and it's spiced. Spiced with cinnamon. Yes. Yeah. This is a, this is a winter drink. Oh, for ****'s sake. You keep pulling it to the side. Yeah. See? I'm just better than you. Oh. That's really not a brag. I still think I liked the first one the most. I see, I could drink one of these because Christmas comes once a year and this is a, You talk about your trials and tribulations of Christmas time. The memories that have come and passed. The bags of coal. All the coal. The family drama. The drama. That drunk uncle. Spiced rum is the easy rum. And that was easy. Yeah. But there was a lot of flavor. This thing is like, if a Christmas cake was zapped into a rum. What was the percentage of it? Is it 54? 57. Is it 57? 57, yeah. **** off. Get out. Get out of here. Tell them the truth. Mount Gay. Let's go. So this is from Mount Gay in Barbados, which is one of the oldest rum distilleries in the world, established in 1703. There's gonna be a lot of jokes by the other triers, but us triers of integrity, less mature triers than us, will be making fun. But there is nothing funny about the word Mount. No. Do you think that would be the total eclipse of the heart? By that, do you mean the drink that finally kills me? Yeah, probably, to be honest with you. Why does Barbados look like an ice cream sandwich though? Cheers. Sláinte. That's spectacular. I taste nothing. It's just rum. It feels like the most authentic rum of all the rums without so much flavorings. That is absolutely spectacular. I feel like it just told me a secret. It did. And the secret is how to enjoy being drunk. It's grand. Yeah, it's fine. Does it taste strong? It's quite strong, yeah. This is to destroy your life of 57.1%, like classic rum. You're not remembering anything? No. Who's your aunt? Haven't a notion. Who's your drunk uncle? I can't. This one. So you stand on Mount Gay. And I stand on whatever the name of the first one, insert here, please. But I think that's the second best. But it's really good. Sorry, what was this about the rum? Yeah. What a sandbite. And it's pretty solid. That's what people want these days. People say language is evolving. It's not, it's devolving. I think within five years, we'll be back to caveman grunts. Ah. Ugh. Sorry. Ooh. Ugh. Tim Allen, baby. Tim Allen. We'll essentially all be Tim Allens. But well, I will say though as well, there's not a swack of 71.1%. 57.1%. 77.51%. 57.1? You know what I'm trying to say. We did it. You know what I'm trying to say. So guys, it's actually a navy strength rum. What do you think of it? Very strong. Oh, it's fine. Are you glad that you have had it now so that your gunpowder is saved? I'm so happy my gunpowder is going to be kept dry. Honestly, I feel like we can take on the world one shot of rum at a time. I think so. And save the turtles while doing so. What do you think we ******* think? We drank four measures of navy strength rum. This is the happiest I've been all year. Me and Seamus are going to go home, going to do a marathon of the Aquaman pillows. There's only two, but we're going to do it. Yar! Tis the navy. Why is all the rum gone? Yo ho ho.
