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.

This is just a great rum. I guess it's the fact that it's 12 years and made in an area known for their rum.

I enjoyed this run whenever I went back to it.

Deep molasses taste but nothing special to keep me coming back too often.

The massive stopper/cork is really good but for some reason I didn't like the bottle (and the name is a little silly too).

Ended up polishing off the bottle over Christmas with ginger beer and it worked pretty well.

Enjoyed this the moment I got it for my latest birthday. Very smooth, with just enough hints of caramel, oak, and molasses. Straight up or with ginger ale. Worth the price.

Bottle: average
Nose:not so distinctive,suppressed by alcohol
Body: stronger
Tail: very strong,bourbon-like, tough-guy tail :)

If you like stronger, navy like rums...then try this one!

Rhum plus épicé se rapprochant du whisky. Peu d'aromes au nez mais se rattrappe bien en bouche. Arriere gout très plaisant.

When I first smelled this, I thought it would be a sweet rum AKA Zacapa (which I do like a lot), however I was wrong.
The first sip was indeed sweet, however then there was a nice alcohol burn. Nice oak and caramel taste.
Had quite high expectations for this one and it did not let me down.

There is no strong alcohol taste but after the sweetness has gone there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. It gets tastier with time at the air and increased temperature.

Vanille boisée ... Belle tinte. Il est moelleux, tout en longueur.

Une vraie découverte. A profiter au coin d'un feu :-)

Habitué à des rhums nettement plus sucré, celui là se dénote par des arômes de bois et de vanilles mais reste très sec! Son originalité en fait un rhum d'exception. Le nez et la robe sont super eux aussi. Je le recommande vivement !

Nose is sweet and inviting. Lot of caramel impressions.
Taste is however completely different, semi dry, light and elegant... aftertaste is semi short. Somewhat comparable to Captain Bligh XO and Abbey 15
This is a weird glass, good but im confused! I think I will have another glass ;)
