Admiral Rodney Hms Monarch

Sweet aroma with caramel notes. Rum have little and subtile burn. Recommend for all

- vůně velmi příjemná, nasládlá, vanilka, ovoce, rozinky, maliny
- chuť jemná, nasládlá, pepř, kandované ovoce
Závěr žádný až vodový
Dozrává v sudech po portském, které je cítit ve vůni i v chutí, škoda jen 40%, uvítal bych víc

Ängenehm süß am Gaumen mit Anklängen von braunem Zucker, Pralinen und kandierten Früchten. Im Abgang dominieren Noten von Eiche und tropischen Gewürzen.

Noter af rosiner og vanilje og små touch af røde bær. Blød og sødme af farin, konfekt og kandiseret frugt. Lidt karamel. God lang eftersmag med dybde. Er egentlig ikke langt fra 10 og kan måske nå derop ved en ny smagning. En virkelig god rom.

Apparantly the british HMS monarch battleship fought in the battle of copenhagen (capital of Denmark). It received a fatal whopping and is now tributed with this fine rum. It's a blend of both bourbon and port cask ageing.
The port notes are surely present in the nose with red fruits like cherries and raspberries. There's also some wooden lacquer, brown sugar, vanilla and wet oak in there.
Its a medium bodied rum with a fairly large amount of sweet elements, but this must come from the port ageing, as there's no sugar added.
The taste is initially pleasant with naturally sweet port notes, then a more rummy character takes over with leather, sweet pipe tobacco and burnt brown sugar.
The finish is great with toasty oak and spices to even things out.

It's feels very balanced. Especially if you feel like a sip with some sweetness, but don't really like the added sugar offerings.
