Lamb's Navy Rum
Alfred Lamb blended 18 rums in 1849. He was 22.
The rums came from Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad. Corby has bottled the brand in Canada for North America since a 1952 licence. Halewood bottles it in England for markets outside North America. Lamb's was never an official Royal Navy supplier.
In August 2026 Corby agreed to sell the brand. That sale was not described as closed on the day the agreement was announced. The rum in the bottle is still a Caribbean blend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lamb's Navy Rum made in Canada?
Bottled, not distilled. Lamb's Navy Rum is Caribbean. Corby has filled North American bottles since 1952. Those 18 rums were Barbadian, Guyanese, Jamaican, and Trinidadian.
Who created the blend?
Alfred Lamb, age 22, mixed it in London in 1849. Lamb's Navy Rum took a navy name later. It was never the Royal Navy's official ration.
Who bottles it now?
Corby in Toronto fills Lamb's Navy Rum for North America. Halewood fills it in England for other regions. Corby agreed in August 2026 to sell the brand. Call that an agreement, not a done transfer.
Is Palm Breeze the same bottle?
No. Lamb's Navy Rum is the dark multi-island blend. Palm Breeze is a pale gold LCBO listing in a six-sided PET bottle.
Where is the company based?
The Canadian bottler of Lamb's Navy Rum is Corby, based in Toronto. Pernod Ricard has been the ultimate parent. The cane is not Canadian.
