Admiral Rodney HMS Formidable

Un bon rhum mais rien pour se distinguer des autres. Bon et ordinaire.

Alcohol-rasines aroma, caramel vanilla sweeter body on start, alcohol tail

Tasted in Drinks By The Dram - The Rum Advent Calendar (2019 Edition)

Traditionally strong, a navy rum to respect. Smooth and very drinkable. However the sweetness makes it only tolerable for a glass or two

it reminds me of Appleton 21y, but with deep molasses in the nose. It has bitter aftertaste, which subtracts a point or two.

Tasting notes: dark chocolate, ginger, clove, oak' and vanilla
Nose: toffee, medicinal quality, leather, chocolate

Well balanced. If this rum had a higher cask strength, it would be a 10.

This one was quite difficult to rate since I had tried their other two that are now available in the USA. I thought that there would be even more oak flavor to this rum than their Royal Oak, but somehow it is kept in check. I still prefer their Princessa, which also happens to be their cheapest with less aging and less oak.

Slightly sweet with a simple rum finish. Good burn and smooth finish.

It is a good rum, but nothing special. The other 2 are better than this one. I rate it a 6,5 cause it isn't that bad either.

Had at distillery. Smoother than the normal Admiral Rodney, now called the Royal Oak, and superior to the Princessa. Nice balance, good on ice or neat.
