Yup that sounds about the same as Wood's rum, proper naval rum.
Rum is an evil drink - entices you like an attractive whore whilst you're in its spell...
leaves you thinking why the f**k did I do that afterwards. I touch it seldom these days.
My spirit of choice, especially Havana Club, Appletons or the delightfully named Mount Gay rum.
Mount Gay - Barbados? Caribbean rum is fair dinkum as long as it's dark...
