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.

Had a bit of a Solera rum feel. Nice nose, with the alcohol smell fading with time. A nice sipper. Would not use with a cola!

Entre puissance et douceur, il se boit facilement sans pêcher par excès de sucre. De la vanille, de la noisette, des notes boisées. Un peu court en bouche mais le mélange est subtil et équilibré. Rapporté à ses 50€ c'est un excellent choix.

this rum is a 7, period. There are plenty better, but it's decent as a sipper. Not bad but there are better for cheaper

À $90 la bouteille, je m'attendais à un WOW! Mais il n'en est rien, puissant et sec sans être très sucré, on est loin d'un Vizcaya qui est dans la même braquette de prix, mais il faut cependant aimer le sucre! Je préfère un El Dorado 12 ans à cela et on est à $35!!

This rum has a nice dry spicy taste with just a little bit of burn. There is also a leathery smell and taste to it.

Un coup de cœur inexplicable.
Il a tout d'un grand, d'ou ma note peu etre un peu fanatique. Je l'adore surtout car le sucre n'est pas beaucoup présent et son bon gout de chêne ancien est parfait.

Flavour is fairly simple and but pleasant although I found this rum fairly harsh and more like a young rum than any 10 year+ rum Iv'e had.

En fin og elegant rom i duft og smag. Ikke den store volumen. Minder en del om 1931 82nd Anniversary Rum.

Je viens d'acheter ce rhum dont j'attendais beaucoup,
la bouteille est superbe, très élégante,
le nez est prometteur (belles odeurs de vanille, caramel,fruits secs)
en bouche ce rhum est doux, assez sucré mais il manque terriblement d'ampleur et d'arôme.
La finale est agréable avec un très léger goût de canne.
Au final ce rhum est trop faible, peut être trop subtil à mon goût.

Jeg var fornyligt til rom smagning med Masterblender Søren Beyer og dette var en af de rom han havde med, en dejlig blød rom med dejlig lang eftersmag, der var lidt hint af peber men alt i alt en dejlig rom.
