The long connection between the Royal Navy and rum can be traced back to 1655 and Vice-Admiral William Penn's expedition to the West Indies. Unlike Seedlip , where a combination of blandness and self-hypnosis was the way in to tasting, the three Aecorn products all took notice of the fact that spirits actually taste quite demanding.
