Can’t get it in the US, but if you are in St. Lucia, definitely try it, and bring some home. This is the first thing I buy when I get to the island every year! Wonderful taste, very smooth, and awesome with a good cigar!
Un rhum avec une très belle couleur caramel, un nez avec une note sucrée et épicée. En bouche, c'est assez facile et assez peu complexe, avec une note de fruit confit (raisin, pruneau ?). La longueur en bouche est assez décevante. Pas de grande personnalité pour ce rhum qui est quand même assez consensuel car facile à boire et assez peu marqué sur l'alcool.
A rum with a beautiful caramel color, a nose with a sweet and spicy notes. In the mouth, it is quite easy and not very complex, with a note of dry fruits (grape, prune ?). The length in the mouth is quite disappointing and very short. No great personality for this rum that is still quite consensual because easy to drink and not very marked on alcohol.
Taste of black spice (cerne koreni). Interesting sound, full taste.
This is what I call an excellent Rum. Very dry, flavourful and well balanced. Reminds me of MGXO, maybe even better. In my book, this is what rum should taste like. Definitely in my Top five Rums. 👍
Update (21-11-25): This rum does NOT rival MGXO as I had previously reported. New score is “8”.
Matured in ex Bourbon Casks.
Taste:
Vanilla, caramel and Oak cask...

A Good Rum, Delicate and Raffinate.
Another rum that stands out for me in the top 3 so far is Admiral Rodney XO 12-Year from St. Lucia. I bought this before reading "rumdood"s review on it, but found out this is one of the ones that got him started on rum obsession.
This rum is aged in sherry casks for a portion of its maturation much like Brugal 1888, but I feel that it has a richer and deeper flavor than the Brugal 1888.
It comes in a beautiful stout bottle, one good for the boat! Feels very Nautical somehow.. looks good on a bookshelf! I buy this whenever I am able to get my hands on it.
The flavor is rich vanilla, brown sugar and spices.
Coloration is a deep dark amber, nice and thick.
The nose gives away the sherry cask maturation in a big way, but is also loaded with butter and spices. It makes an amazing hot buttered rum or eggnog, but sipping it straight is surely the way to go.
"a rich amber colour, it is quite thick and viscous..."

"Bright amber, mahogany colour. Incredibly attractive nose..."

"Initial aromas are of deep vanilla, oak, cherry and toffee..."

Notes of banana and a little tropical fruit.
"There is an alcohol burn. Banana and a little black grape, hints of vanilla contribute to the overall smoothness of the rum. ."

Love this rum
Agree the bottle is beautiful
Some nice notes of sweetness and a very mild Smokey flavour that comes from the ageing
