The story of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength

The Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength comes from the laboratory of the positively crazy Cornelius Ampleforth. Ampleforth is considered a kind of "mad professor" in the spirits scene and is known for his love of experimenting with spirits. After many self-experiments in his own four walls, Ampleforth finally went into business for himself in autumn 2011 and has since surprised consumers and colleagues with many new and innovative products. A "cold" distilled absinthe, with an incredible 91.2% vol., and barrel-aged gin are evidence that Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's inventiveness knows no bounds. Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's products are produced in very small batches and are therefore very popular with collectors. When producing his products, it is important to Ampleforth to use only the best ingredients and to preserve old traditions. For example, Rumbullion Navy Strength is produced in the traditional alcohol strength of 57% vol. In the past, British Navy ships only carried spirits with an alcohol strength of 57% vol. because at this alcohol strength, black powder would ignite even when it was completely soaked in alcohol.

The production of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength

As already mentioned, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength is produced in very small batches of often only 30-60 bottles. This naturally requires a lot of manual work, but the production process can also be controlled much better than with industrial production. The basis of the Rumbullion Navy Strength is high-proof Jamaican rum, which was chosen by the "Professor" for its rich and strong taste. This is then flavored with real Madagascar vanilla, fresh orange zest and other secret spices. The Rumbullion Navy Strength is then rounded off with cinnamon, cloves and a hint of cardamom. After maceration, the Rumbullion Navy Strength is filled into distinctive bottles. These are wrapped in brown paper, wrapped in twine and sealed with black wax. A feast for the eyes!

The taste of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength

On the nose, the Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength shows almost decadently intense notes of sweet vanilla, orange zest and a hint of cardamom. On the palate, the Rumbullion Navy Strength impresses with a potpourri of aromas such as thick orange marmalade, spices, honey, cinnamon, toffee, apples and cloves. As expected, the aftertaste of the Rumbullion Navy Strength is extremely long and complex and remains noticeable for several minutes. Without question, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength is one of the best spiced rums on the market!
