Alnwick Rum has a special relationship with HMS Northumberland, providing the ship with a ready supply of rum for both on-board consumption and for use by her Commander as gifts as he sails the worlds oceans!
Commander Martin Simpson and his crew are currently on six months of manoeuvres around a good part of the world and he is kindly sending back a regular, and very entertaining, blog - which you can read here, and photographs of their operations which can be seen in our photo gallery.
We hope you'll join us in wishing the HMS Northumberland and her crew the best of luck on her current deployment.
