Produced on a 45-plate Coffey still and aged in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, this truly rather delicious molasses-based rum contains liquid aged between nine and 12 years. The Rodney bloke in question is in fact a famous admiral from the 18th century – we'll happily toast his seafaring successes with a drop of this.
Aroma: Oaky and resinous with notes of dark chocolate, honey, nutmeg and walnuts.
Flavor: More honey comes out, before the cinnamon and vanilla pods reach. More chocolate follows, this time in the shape of a nib, before leaf tobacco, oak and a sweet caramel add depth.
Finish: This is where those sweet spices come in. Delightful.
Overall: A dry rum, full of flavor. One to sip and savor.
