The Admiral Rodney 2006 Officers Release No.1, Port Cask Finish, is a distinguished 13-year-old rum with an ABV of 45%, presented in a 700ml bottle. Hailing from the prestigious Saint Lucia Distillers, this full-bodied, column-distilled spirit is a tribute to Admiral Georges Brydges Rodney, who famously defeated the French fleet at the Battle of Les Saintes in 1782. Initially aged in ex-bourbon casks, this rum undergoes a unique nine-month finish in port casks, imparting it with a complex and nuanced flavor profile.
The aroma of this exceptional rum is a delightful blend of caramel, oak, dried fruit, raisin, and cinnamon. On the palate, it evolves into a symphony of flavors, offering notes of caramel, raisin, cherry, candied fruit, and wine. The finish is marked by a bold and grainy woodiness, complemented by spicy undertones, licorice, and mineral notes. Upon aeration and rest, the rum reveals its intricate character, with American oak notes of vanilla, coconut, and light tobacco being enhanced by sweet dried plums.
This limited release, with only 4,200 bottles available, was tropically aged on the picturesque island of Saint Lucia. It is a truly unique and rare find for any rum connoisseur, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and heritage of the Saint Lucia Distillers.
