"Parma violets and candied fruit" is how one member sums up the nose, and that floral-fruity side is what people latch onto. In the glass it turns darker: roasted oak, clove, licorice, caramel and a spicy-peppery bite, with an Irish whiskey cask finish that adds tobacco and a light medicinal edge. A few tasters wish the 45% alcohol sat more smoothly.

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Spicy, woody Saint Lucia with whiskey-cask finish Mostly liked as a spicy, woody Saint Lucia with a genuine Irish whiskey finish. The recurring gripe: the alcohol isn't quite as integrated as people want.

8,5:The nose entices you with notes of wood, clove, allspice, and honeyed dried fruit like prunes, baked honey with apple and pears, brown sugar, licorice, vanilla and raspberries. Some parfum and leather, rubber, nail polish could also be detected. All well balanced, alcohol integrated. 8,5:On the palate it is buttery, fruity with tropical fruits and spicy-pepper, salt with toasted wood, vanilla, tobacco, molasses, later going towards red fruits such as cherry, blackcurrant and sweet chilli, coming a bit dry.Irish whisky finish is felt nicely, has some medicinal, industrial like rubber, tar notes and is well balanced and very complex. 8,3:Asian spices and other warm spices are present with a hint of oak, saltiness and smokiness at the finish.

Unspectacular
Review by Skyfly
On the nose, you can still detect tropical fruits and banana, but on the palate, it reduces to more woody and spicy aromas; the slight cinnamon that can be recognized is very pleasant. The fruits come across as candied fruits. The alcohol is too strong on the nose and palate, but not noticeable in the finish – so for me, it's not ideally integrated.
Review by Henry Davies
I’m a fan of this rum. Its more interesting than the Royal Oak and all together a different profile which just works. I haven’t had many Irish whisky cask finished rums but it works really well here. The nose is all Parma violets and candied fruit, the mouth sweet and candy led but with more complexity and some light barrel notes alongside honeyed sweetness. The finish is moderate with some schnapps and warm spicy notes. The only thing that is lacking for me is the alcohol is not as integrated as it could be. An impressive rum and my favourite of the Asmiral Rodney range thus far
Review by Rumpalumpa
This rum highlights the floral-fruity sides of St. Lucia. Especially on the nose, there's also fresh glue right after pouring. With time in the glass, it becomes more dark, spicy, and woody. The same goes for the palate.
Review by Thomas Santkin
On the nose, I get honey, light tobacco, maple syrup, light orange zest, candied fruits. The palate is initially quite lively, with a slight bitterness and a very nice licorice. Light wood and discreet milk chocolate. It drinks quite easily, without being too complex. A finish that finally brings out this whisky finish with smoky notes, a slight bitterness. Light wood and a little pastry side. The whole is pleasant but doesn't linger. A quite surprising rum for me in the sense that I barely felt the whisky influence. A shame. The alcohol could have been better integrated. Not very complex but drinkable. An honest quality-price ratio. A very nice tribute to licorice.

#6838 24.05.2026 Running a few evening samples while listening to some Psy Trance on Spotify. This is a pretty decent rum with an OK price tag in my mind. Medium fruity with roasted wood, caramel, spice, licorice and light tannins.
Review by Miňo
A good rum that smells of whiskey, the alcohol is balanced.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Beautifully spicy. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. This makes it easy to drink.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is not too smoky. It is rather fruity-spicy on a honeyed profile. We have nice tropical fruits, caramel, licorice and vanilla. On the finish, we find the characteristic peaty notes of whiskey as well as notes of tobacco. I find this reference nice and the finish whiskey is rather contained. It's clearly not the type of bottle I would have gone for, so it's cool that I got it as a gift.
Review by Arne Janssen
Surprisingly tasty. Soft in the mouth.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it’s very subtle with a mild oak and spice. Taste reveals smooth spice and oak showing more complexity. There is a slight salty and leather taste with a delayed second hit of spice and mild chest burn into the finish. Finish is long with the spice returning and then fading with some mild chest warmth. There is a beautiful Irish whiskey undertones. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose
