Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak Gold Rum
Admiral Rodney HMS Royal Oak comes from St. Lucia Distillers, a producer known for its traditional pot‑still rums and careful barrel ageing. The Admiral Rodney range is inspired by the famous British naval commander who helped secure Caribbean trade routes in the 18th century, and each expression is named after one of the ships in his fleet. HMS Royal Oak honours the vessel that played a key role in the Battle of the Saints in 1782, a turning point in the region’s naval history. The rum itself reflects that heritage through long ageing and a focus on depth and structure. HMS Royal Oak contains rums aged between 7 to 12 years. Its aroma shows rich caramel, warm oak, dried fruit and a touch of baking spice. On the palate, it offers a smooth, layered texture with notes of toffee, vanilla, gentle spice, raisins and a subtle roasted character from extended time in ex‑bourbon barrels. The finish is long, warm and elegantly spiced, making it a refined sipping rum with a distinctly Caribbean sense of history and craftsmanship.
Black Tot Historic Solera Rum
Black Tot Historic Solera is an elegant blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados, and Jamaica, which has been aged in oak barrels that previously held Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherries before being aged in a traditional 3-tier solera system. Black Tot embraces the tradition and art of blending rums from distilleries across the Caribbean, a technique pioneered by the Royal Navy. Black Tot Historic Solera has notes of figs, plums and rich chocolate, along with creamy fudge and warming winter spices. On the palate the intense chocolate character continues along with a hint of lightly roasted coffee. The finish is long with charred citrus zest, tropical fruits, and lingering spice.
