Admiral Rodney HMS Princessa 9yr 40%

"Overall I think that all of it are there, but everything’s to weak. The nose fruity and round with aromas of Raisins, vanilla, honey and tobacco. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s fruity, spicy and sweet with flavors of vanilla, honey, raisins, tobacco, oak and caramel."

"Gutes solides destillat. Im Geruch sehr verhalten. Zeigt wenig von dem was er kann. Im Geschmack dann Süße, fruchtige aber auch dunkle Röstige Töne. Allerdings auch nichts besonderes. Muss man nicht zwingend probiert haben."

"Nice bottle with a rum that doesn't need to hide, yes of course there is better from St. Lucia but as a light sipper for in between just right and not so sweet. The bottle also looks great on the on the shelf ;)"

"It has almost everything, but all not so powerful."

"While it’s not the most unique, complex, or challenging rum out there, for a measly 40% abv this has a lot of good things going for it. SLD does a great job of showing what column still rum can do without having to rely on dosage or fancy (and overpowering) cask finishes, simply by pulling the distillate off of lower plates—and with some tasteful blending. It’s fairly rich and well balanced, bringing a natural sweetness and good barrel integration. My biggest gripe is that it’s far too reserved, the lower proof and perhaps tighter age range holds it back from being something greater."

"C’est un rhum plutôt doux au nez et au palais… mais pas trop … on est sur la vanille, le bois et légèrement fumé. Sans être transcendant c’est assez solide pour ceux qui veulent un breuvage qui reste gourmand sans tomber dans quelque chose de très/trop sucré Il a tout de même son caractère et reste assez sec Pour le prix (60€ max), c’est honorable et ça mérite une place dans le bar !"
