Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak Review
This St. Lucia rum offers youthful energy and luxurious aged notes. Delicate fruity and floral notes begin the experience, before sweet vanilla and peppery spice land on the palate. It almost recalls rye whiskey, then caramel, licorice, and molasses notes turn up on the finish arrive to remind us we’re firmly in rum territory.
