and only £23.00 at Morrisons at the moment. We have a higher tax on alcohol in Wales (bastards) so everything is at least £2.50 more per bottle!

How does it compare to Jamaican rums? When I see Navy in the title I always think of Navy's Rum - not a fan.

The “Navy“ in the name, comes from the old bonded barrels carried on ships, for sailors to have their daily ration of 95.5% proof rum (54% ABV).
The Wood’s Navy rum, used to be called “Wood’s 100” as in 100% proof, but had to change the name, due to it only being 95.5%

Wood’s is a smooth rum, not as harsh as other of spiced rum’s but at 54.6% ABV is not to be taken lightly.

I might have a gander in my two local stores tomorrow. I assume they’ll all be sold out now it’s being advertised.

I got a couple of bottles from the sale branch . They will be near the tills or on the end of the aisle , its a nice drop . If they don't have any I strongly recommend the chassaux et Fils, costieres de nimes which is also on offer for about one pound more . Its so cheap considering the alcohol duty and VAT is probably close to three pounds.

Thanks, will have a look. They do some amazing value wines.

Never thought about that....does an identical £6,99 bottle of spirit from Aldi in Wrexham cost more than the same in Aldi Chester ??

Never bought any spirits from Aldi, just always see that price on most things. Did buy some dodgy Peroni once....never again.
