Detailed Description

Part of the brand's Battle of the Saintes series, the Admiral Rodney HMS Formidable Rum is named after Rodney's flagship in said battle and offers a rich blend of flavors that are as steadfast as the ship that lent it its name. Each batch of this rum is crafted from a selection of rums distilled from Guyanese molasses using a 45-plate Coffey still and then aged for 9 to 12 years aged in ex-bourbon American white oak casks. The rums are then meticulously married to achieve the desired taste and texture before being brought to proof with pristine water and finally bottled.
