The Admiral Rodney Officer's Release #2 is a distinguished premium rum from Saint Lucia, distilled by Santa Teresa in 2009 and aged for 12 years. Limited to just 5,000 bottles, this edition was finished in Irish whiskey casks, adding a layer of complexity and depth. The rum is crafted using a traditional 45 tray Coffey column still and initially aged in specially selected American ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to ex-Irish whiskey barrels for a few months. This unique finishing process enriches the molasses-based rum with intricate flavors and aromas.
On the nose, the Admiral Rodney Officer's Release #2 reveals a delightful blend of tropical fruit, violet, geranium, papaya, and banana. The palate offers a dry, cinnamon, medicinal, peppery, and slightly salty profile, with underlying tones of deep toffee, liquorice, raisin, and tobacco. These flavors are expertly balanced with hints of cherry, blackcurrant, sweet chilli, and Asian spices.
This rum stands as a tribute to Admiral Sir Georges Brydges Rodney, an iconic figure renowned for his decisive victory over the French fleet in Saint Lucia. The Admiral Rodney Officer's Release #2 is a sophisticated and rich rum, ideal for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
