Admiral Rodney HMS Formidable

I really enjoy this rum, it’s excellent by myself on the rocks or with a little bit of lime. I’d buy this again for sure.

Gentle fruity aroma, taste is incredibly smooth with fruity raisin notes, almost zero alcohol burn, really easy drinking. Aftertaste is raisins and molasses and a little warmth, maybe a hint of cognac

Really lovely but not top. Not sweet, -
Enjoyable. For me, better neat in winter time.

It’s a quality rum with a decent punch of oak. It’s definitely smoother than the step below Princessa. Classy bottle too. I’d say it’s an add for most, but I admit there are a few rums a bit cheaper I’d select over this one.

Přivoníte, napijete se a musíte identifikovat Chairman's s jejich typickými tóny. Je to fajn. Moho to mít aspoň 43.

The pinnacle of the Admiral Rodney HMS series, HMS Formidable is a blend of column-distilled rums aged between nine and 12 years in bourbon barrels. It is named after Admiral Rodney’s flagship in the Battle of the Saints – the crucial battle where he broke the French lines and secured Britain’s dominance over the Caribbean.

Nosing
Papaya , oak , port , apples , honey

Tasting
Sweet delicious st Lucian heaven wow ...

Starts off with chocolate toffee apple then fades into like a red wine (port) ..vanilla and raisens dominate the finish

Picked this up “end-of-bin” discounted, but I’d gladly pay retail for the bottle. Super sippable and fine rum, light, but full of character. Smells of warm caramel and honey. Taste is similar with hints of orange peel and sugarcane. Very delicate on the palate, but carries a pleasant warmth going down without being harsh. A treasure

Very nice amber color. On the nose, honey, raisins and vanilla, tasting, sweet fruit, oaky. Very good.

Lots of wood, and some spice and sweetness, but nothing particularly good about this.

it s dry and ABV is only 40, st lucia distillers have done better job with their chairman s reserve series ... beautiful bottle and solid unadulterated product, but really can t be named as something particularly good ...
