Admiral Rodney Officer's Releases N1 2006

The odd surprise here: cold from the bottle, one member swears it smells like glue, then warms up into plum, port, dried fruit and roasted oak once it's in your hand. A 13-year Saint Lucia molasses rum at 45%, it drinks warm and smooth with clove, light chocolate and a candied, port-cask sweetness on the late palate. Several tasters call it the pick of the Admiral Rodney line.

The community says
  • Smooth at 45%
  • Port-cask fruitiness
  • But: Faint bitter finish

The port cask brings a nice indulgence. There's a bitterness in the finish that also brings a bit of complicity.

Specialty. Cold it smells somehow like Uhu glue. Makes the glass warm and it will flash you.

Saint Lucia Distillers 

Avg Rating 8.2/10 240 Rums

St. Lucia Distillers is the island's only distillery and one of the most versatile in the Caribbean. Four stills give it eight different distillates, molasses and cane juice, pot and column, which its blenders turn into everything from the humble Bounty to the cult Chairman's Reserve and the super-premium Admiral Rodney. It rebuilt itself after an arson fire and is now owned by the same group as Martinique's J.M and Clement.
