Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak (40%)

Admiral Rodney is a renowned rum brand from St. Lucia, celebrated for its fine aged rums and naval heritage. The HMS Royal Oak is named after a 74-gun British warship that played a crucial role in Admiral Rodney’s victory at the 1782 Battle of the Saintes. This exceptional rum was created to honour the bold spirit of its legendary namesake.

HMS Royal Oak is a blend of column still (Coffey still) rums distilled at St. Lucia Distillers and tropically aged for 6 to 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, resulting in a beautifully balanced spirit. The rum’s character is smooth enough for newcomers yet rewardingly complex for seasoned connoisseurs, making it an excellent choice for any rum enthusiast.
