    How does this rum taste?

    Admiral Rodney HMS Monarch is an 11-year-old rum produced in Saint Lucia, known for its smooth blend of vanilla, caramel, and bourbon notes. Distilled from molasses using a column still, it offers a full-bodied flavor profile accented by tropical fruits and tannins. Users have noted its soft sweetness with elements of oak and warm spices. While some appreciate its approachable 40% ABV, others find it lacks complexity and a prolonged finish. Despite mixed opinions on its sweetness and depth, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a mellow sipping experience from the Caribbean.

    7.3/10 36 reviews

    The taste is the greatest asset of this rum. The Port cask really doesn't come through but the bourbon on the other hand does. Would have preferred a bit higher proof which would have lifted it to new heights.

    Soft and sweet with pleasant sugar, confectionery and candied fruit with a long aftertaste of oak and warm spices.

    Positiv überrascht wie vollmundig der trotz nur 40% ist. Insbesonders im Abgang bleibt er lange erhalten

    For 40€ you really can't complain, but it's a rum without any rough edges. Inconspicuous on the nose, pleasing in the mouth, but without much body and the finish disappears quickly. Update: some criticize the low ABV, but in my opinion more alcohol would not be so well integrated, the 40% is absolutely fine!
