Admiral Rodney HMS Princessa | 70cl

A Heroic Introduction to St. Lucian Column Still Excellence

Step into the storied history of the Caribbean with Admiral Rodney HMS Princessa. Part of the celebrated Admiral Rodney range by St. Lucia Distillers, this rum pays tribute to the naval brilliance of Admiral George Rodney, who broke the French line at the Battle of the Saints in 1782. The HMS Princessa was a Spanish ship captured by the British and later became one of the first vessels to engage the French in that decisive conflict.

As the "entry point" to the range, HMS Princessa is far from basic. It is a sophisticated blend of rums aged between five and nine years exclusively in ex-bourbon casks. Distilled using St. Lucia’s famous 45-column Coffey still, this rum represents the pinnacle of column-still production—delivering a spirit that is remarkably clean and elegant, yet bursting with the rich, sweet character of long-term tropical ageing.

Key Features and Maturation Profile

Ex-Bourbon Cask Ageing: Matured in American white oak barrels that previously held bourbon, imparting classic notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood.
The Coffey Still Advantage: Unlike heavier pot-still rums, HMS Princessa is extracted from the lower plates of the column still to ensure a robust, flavourful, but remarkably smooth profile.
Award-Winning Heritage: Produced in the Roseau Valley of St. Lucia, where the humid climate accelerates the "angel's share" evaporation, resulting in a more concentrated and mature flavour for its age.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Sweet and inviting with a heavy influence of raisins, honey, and vanilla.
- Palate: A complex, velvety arrival. Deep notes of Caribbean spice and toasted oak are perfectly balanced by a luxurious crème brûlée sweetness.
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering hints of brown sugar and subtle dry oak.

Serving Suggestions

The Sipping Entry: Perfectly suited for those transitioning from spiced or dark rums into the world of premium aged sipping rums. Enjoy it neat or with a single cube of ice.
The Admiral’s Old Fashioned: The honey and crème brûlée notes make this an ideal base for an Old Fashioned. Use orange bitters and a touch of demerara syrup to amplify the Caribbean spice.
A Distinguished Highball: Serve over large ice cubes with premium ginger ale and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing drink that doesn't mask the rum's complexity.
