Admiral Rodney Rum 'HMS Formidable'

• Rum distilled by St. Lucia Distillers, the last remaining distiller on St. Lucia
• Distilled on a Coffey column still from 100% molasses
• Aged 9–12 years in ex-bourbon casks
• Blended by St Lucia Distillers Master Blender, Evanus Harris
• Thin mints on the nose and palate, embellished by ginger, dark chocolate, and lasting notes of pralines and cream
• 40% ABV

The spice returns in this expression, the oldest in Admiral Rodney’s range. Plenty of snappy mint up front, yielding to sweeter tones of chocolate and vanilla. The Formidable takes a victory lap with a lengthy finish of fresh ginger and spice. A cigar rum, if ever there was one…

Tasting Notes

Admiral Rodney Formidable contains rums aged in re-charred, ex-bourbon casks. The base distillates have been aged between 10-15 years in the tropical heat of St. Lucia which significantly speeds maturation. 40% ABV
