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.

The presentation is really excellent. The rum is a beautiful amber color. When smelling it the rum reveals a sweet brown sugar, caramel and molasses as well as notes of banana and a little tropical fruit. The rum is sweet but light, not overpowering. The rum has clearly not been adulterated and the taste is produced as a result of aging. I added a small amount of cola to the rum and a few large cubes of ice and the fruity flavor combined beautifully. It is mainly a rum to enjoy slowly and invite good friends.

Nothing amazing but not a bad rum, just not noteworthy in any way.

Definitely above average, but on the other side - nothing really special.

Jedná se o směs až 12letých rumů, které separátně zrály v sudech po bourbonu z amer. dubu od Jack Daniels, Jim Beam a Buffalo Trace.

Aroma: Vanilka, v pozadí mandle. Od Princessy se příliš neliší
Chuť: Nasládle kořenitá
Dozvuk: Špetka vanilky a dřevo. Ultrakrátký, plytký, vodový
Sladkost: 0/3
Ochutnán vzorek, 27.1.2021, porovnán s HMS Princessa
Ve vůni je skoro stejný jako Princessa, i když ne tak výrazný. Nicméně v chuti a hlavně v dozvuku je plytký a jakoby zředěný vodou. Špatný rum to vyloženě není, ale v porovnání s Princessou velmi zaostává.

Na začiatku vás upúta krásna flaša. Chuť a vôna sú tipické pre Sv. Luciu - dub, vanilka, koža, tmavá čokoláda a trochu možno aj tabak alebo dym. Naozaj výborny jemný nasládly rum. Mne osobne by nevadil aj keby bol trochu výraznejší. Manželke veľmi chuti!!! Bohužial tento sa už nevyrába a tak treba skúsiť aj ostatné zo série.

To bad of the strong alcohol taste. But apart of that, a nice balanced tast of caramel vanilla
