Admiral Rodney
Admiral Rodney HMS Princessa Dark Rum 40% 70cl
- Details
St. Lucia Distillers are responsible for the phenomenal Chairman's Reserve range of rums, and Admiral Rodney is a selection of more premium releases, named after a renowned naval strategist who helped the British Royal Navy dominate the Caribbean in the 18th century.
The three bottlings are named after specific Navy vessels - in this case a Spanish ship that was captured by the Royal Navy in 1740 and became a key part of the fleet - Sir Francis Drake was Rear-Admiral of the ship at one point too. The rum itself is a marraige of ages between 5 and 9 years, all distilled from a Coffey column still.
With the impressive chunky bottle - which is pretty weighty and certainly won't tip over on a rocking ship - one might think this is bottled at Cask Strength or at least 50%. But this has an ABV of 40%, which may make you think this could be an example of style over content. Do not be fooled - there is plenty of heft and complexity going on from nose to finish. Concentrated raisins, a hint of tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee, sweet spice and a touch of soft, warm oak are prevalent. It's very much a sipping rum and is a good introduction for those looking to move into 'pure' rums.
