Admiral Rodney HMS Formidable (40%)

Admiral Rodney HMS Formidable is the pinnacle of the Admiral Rodney range. Named after Admiral George Rodney’s flagship warship, which led the charge at the decisive 1782 Battle of the Saintes, this bottling pays tribute to courage and mastery at sea.

Crafted from heavier distillates drawn from the lower plates of a traditional Coffey still, HMS Formidable develops its richness through 10 to 13 years of tropical ageing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. After maturation, the rums are artfully blended to create a perfectly balanced extra-old expression that showcases the depth of St. Lucian rum craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Aromas of honeyed raisins, vanilla, and warm baking spices.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied, offering layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, toasty oak and a subtle hint of tobacco.
Finish: Long, warm, and elegant, with lingering notes of sweet fruit and spice.
