Privateer Navy Yard Rum - Florida Rum Society Cask 986 is part of our Rum collection. It comes from Privateer Rum and is crafted in the United States.
A Florida Rum Society special selection.
Drawn from a single new American oak barrel, Cask 986 captures the bold, uncompromising spirit of Privateer’s Navy Yard lineage while letting the wood truly take center stage. In the glass, it glows deep copper with slow, viscous legs.
Nose: The nose opens with warm oak and toasted walnut, layered with hints of caramelized sugar and a faint thread of anise.
Palate: On the palate, it’s dry and assertive — toasted walnut leads the way, followed by flashes of vanilla bean, light molasses, and a whisper of licorice. The texture reflects its new American oak upbringing: firm, tannic, and mouth-drying in a way that accentuates the rum’s natural spice.
Finish: The finish carries long waves of warm oak, nutmeg, and a touch of sea-salted chocolate. A powerful, oak-driven cask that showcases both Privateer’s craftsmanship and the Florida Rum Society’s taste for structure and depth.

View RecipesThis is a seriously oak-forward Navy Yard that immediately grabbed my attention. Warm oak and toasted walnut lead the way from the first nosing, followed by a dry, structured palate with vanilla, light molasses, and just a touch of licorice. The new American oak really shows itself here, giving the rum a firm, mouth-drying texture and a long, warming finish built on layers of spice and wood.
If you enjoy bold, barrel-driven rum with real structure, this one delivers.
