Admiral Rodney 2006 Officier’s Releases No1 Port Cask Finish 13-Year

I was curious to try some product from St. Lucia. I saw some good review of this brand, so I gave it a chance. It's a good Rum, with a warm taste given by the Port Cask ageing. There's a note of wood and caramel. It's a fine product probably above the average of the rums made with molasses, quite smooth and sweet, but, to be honest I was expecting more. There are other products with similar specs for lower price. Very fancy bottle.

- ve vůni velmi příjemný, nasládlost, koření, dřevitost
- v chutí koření, lékořice, vanilka a čokoláda
45% příjemný, v této cenové relaci se ale dají najít lepší

This is a smooth and high quality tasting rum. Easily sippable and highly enjoyable! Shame there is no picture added for this yet.

Na tento rum som sa veľmi tešil a splnil moje očakávania. Skvelý rum..nálož ovocia,karamelu a akéhosi korenia. Krásne dielo z ostrova St.Lucie. plný, harmonicky na pomalé vychutnavanie

This is a 9.9. Really awesome sipper. Rich sultana and fruit with hints of chocolate and Kona coffee. Smooth oak and fabulous port wine throughout. Deep and complex. Balanced to literal perfection. Coates the pallet. Almonds and a hint of spice rise at the finish. Smooth as a widow’s kiss. The finish is long smooth and soulful. Great on ice or neat, although more fruit notes appear neat. Absolutely top shelf in every way.

Aroma is nice, warm and complex. Taste is perfect mix of fruit, wood, sweetness and bit burning (bit higher level of alcohol is also helping highlight the taste). Aftertaste is long with many new and new fruit and spicy on palate.

Nice medium brown color what I tend to gravitate too. Nice bottle and presentation very smooth scent note the port finish immediately. On the tongue very smooth nice mellow port finish slight coconut taste mixed in, not too sweet and very smooth for 45%. Overall this is a very smooth sipper with a port taste, not massive depth but a very good after dinner rum would pair well with a Cuban or Nicaraguan cigar.

This rum is nice example of succesful marriage of rum and port.
Mahagony colour,intense taste of honyed fruits,spicy vanilla and oak.
Finish is a bit on dry side but not so much therefore people with sweet tooth like me can enjoy it.

Some of my whisky friend couldn't recognize this as a rum but really, really liked it.
The port cask finish gives this so much flavor.

Dobrý rum s chutí vanilky, čokolády, v dlouhém závěru sušší, ale ta vůně mě moc neoslovila.
U této značky mám jiné favority.
