Admiral Rodney Officer's Releases N2 2009
Tropical fruit and spice meet candied sweetness, with a unique whiskey finish—balanced and complex, though a bit hot for some.
On the nose, expect inviting bursts of tropical fruit, banana, and subtle caramel, leading to a palate where candied fruit and honey mingle with spice, pepper, and woody undertones. RumX members call it “very balanced and easy to drink” (Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪) and praise the “complexity and well-integrated Irish whisky finish” (LukaŽiga). The peppery, slightly medicinal note adds intrigue, though several reviewers note the alcohol integration could be improved. If you enjoy rums with sweet, fruity layers wrapped in interesting spice, this limited edition is worth exploring.

Unspectacular
The nose is not too smoky. It is rather fruity-spicy on a honeyed profile. We have nice tropical fruits, caramel, licorice and vanilla. On the finish, we find the characteristic peaty notes of whiskey as well as notes of tobacco. I find this reference nice and the finish whiskey is rather contained. It's clearly not the type of bottle I would have gone for, so it's cool that I got it as a gift.
In der Nase nimmt man noch tropische Früchte und auch Banana wahr, im Gaumen reduziert sich das ganze jedoch auf eher holzige und würzige Aromen; sehr angenehm ist der zu erkennende leichte Zimt. Die Früchte sind als kandierte Früchte wahrnehmbar. Alkohol in Nase und Gaumen zu stark, im Abgang nicht mehr wahrzunehmen - demnach für mich nicht ideal eingebunden.
