Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak | 70cl

The Heart of the Fleet: A Rich, Mid-Range Masterpiece

Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak sits at the heart of St. Lucia Distillers’ prestige range, representing a significant step up in maturity and complexity. This "Extra Old" Saint Lucian rum continues the tradition of honoring Admiral George Rodney’s historic naval victory at the Battle of the Saints. The HMS Royal Oak was a central figure in the British fleet, a 74-gun ship of the line that distinguished itself by being among the first to break the French formation.

Mirroring the strength and reliability of its namesake, this rum is a masterful blend of Coffey still distillates matured for between 7 and 12 years. Aged exclusively in American white oak Bourbon casks, the spirit undergoes a profound transformation in the tropical heat of the Roseau Valley, resulting in a rum that perfectly balances the bright fruit of the column still with the deep, brooding notes of well-aged wood.

Key Features and Maturation Profile

"Extra Old" Classification: A premium blend featuring rums that have spent up to 12 years in oak, offering a significantly more wood-influenced profile than the Princessa.
Coffey Still Precision: Distilled on St. Lucia Distillers' legendary continuous column still, ensuring a spirit that is elegant and refined while retaining a heavy aromatic weight.
Bourbon Cask Influence: The extended time in American white oak imparts deep layers of spice, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Complex and evolving. Initial bursts of prune, dried grapes, and sweet spices lead the way.
- Palate: A rich, full-bodied experience. The fruitiness is grounded by deep base notes of tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and buttery caramel.
- Finish: Long and sophisticated, with lingering waves of vanilla and toasted oak spice.

Serving Suggestions

The Sophisticated Sipper: With its 12-year-old components, this rum is best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to allow the tobacco and chocolate notes to breathe.
The "Royal" Manhattan: Substitute rye whiskey for HMS Royal Oak in a Manhattan. The notes of prune and spice pair beautifully with the botanicals of a premium sweet vermouth.
After-Dinner Pairing: The dark chocolate and caramel profile makes this an ideal companion for a piece of aged Gouda or a selection of dried fruits and nuts.
