Tot ce-ti doresti de la un rom. Are miros elegant, nu zgarie, se simte indelungat. Are nuante de vanilie.

This rum I had in St. Lucia at my resort. I brought back a bottle also from the distillery. This is not chill filtered at least for the St. Lucian bought bottles. I heard in St. Lucia that the rum blend is up to 14-16 years old now. The bottles I tasted said to be of that age had a heavy influence I felt from the Jack Daniels casks it is aged in. The rum actually tasted a bit like jack. Other than that very smooth and subtle, an easy sipper.

I bought it in St. Marteen. Difficult to find, but a good candidate for my "active collection". Great product of St. Lucia and island with two Nobel prizes and this great rum.

This rum has a nice golden-red amber colour with a complex (can't say of exactly what other than smoky sweetness) deep scent. It is smooth with a relatively mild flavour with a bit of sweetness and smoke.

Price/taste/quality is not OK. A nice rum but too expensive. The alcohol is to strong in taste - miss deepth and a bit more sweetness.

Priced at just over a half century, as I like to say the options for other fantastic spirits start to open up. Admiral Rodney is not a bad rum on the contrary it's quite good. It's smooth and maybe too much so. I'm convinced that rums benefit from being bottled above 40% ABV and unfortunately the Admiral is pedestrian in this test. Still yet of the 80 proof club this is one of the finer ones I've sampled.
A balanced sipper, only a fool would use this in a mixed cocktail, not one element overpowers the other. Very harmonious and sniffing it just now in the dead of winter brings images of the warm tropics. Palm trees swaying in a gentle breeze. It's that kind of rum.
But at this price for a slice of white sand visions, I'm likely to go elsewhere next time. I like my rum with a little more hair and a bit more authentic to what the good Admiral was probably drinking himself in his day.
Definitely give it a go if your flush with cash and you enjoy excellent down the middle agreeable rum.
Hold off if your looking to push the envelope.
