The Albert Michler Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy, producing high-quality spirits and liqueurs. The company was founded in 1863 in Silesia, Czech Republic, and has since established itself as one of the leading producers of fine spirits in Europe. Only the best rums from Jamaica, Barbardos, Trinidad & Tobago and the Dominican Republic are sourced.

The name of the Austrian Empire Navy Rum Novara goes back to a scientific expedition of the Austrian Navy with the frigate "Novara", which was carried out between 1857 and 1859 under the command of Commodore Bernhard von Wullerstorf-Urbair. This first expedition of its kind was initiated and financed by Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian.

The Austrian Empire Navy Rum Novara is a high-quality blend consisting of rums that have been matured for 5 to 8 years in oak barrels. The speciality of this blend is that the rums come from three oceans, namely the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. This unique blend combines rums from Mauritius, Venezuela, Indonesia and the Philippines, resulting in a rich, complex and smooth flavour profile.
