Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak

Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak is a Caribbean molasses rum from the island of St. Lucia. It was named after the Royal Oak, which was part of the fleet of the British Admiral, Sir George Brydges Rodney, in the struggle for dominance in Caribbean territory.

The exceptional taste of this rum is due to the Coffey still distillation and subsequent extraction of the distillate from the lower parts of the plant to obtain a balanced taste suitable for long maturation leading to the development of a distinct and complex taste profile. This is followed by only aging in American oak barrels after bourbon and professional mixing of rums at the age of 7-12 years .

Aroma: maple syrup, prunes, oak wood, coffee, bananas, apricots and vanilla
Taste: dry, slightly smoky balanced with caramel, undertones of brown sugar and molasses, mild spice of cinnamon
Conclusion : creme brulee, caramel and slightly smoky oak wood
