The Officer’s Releases is a limited edition series that pays tribute to Admiral
Rodney, a highly-recognized British naval officer who distinguished himself in
1782 during one of the most memorable naval battles in the Caribbean
theatre, “The Battle of the Saintes”. Distilled using our 45 plates Coffey Still which was
commissioned in 1984. Admiral Rodney rums are extracted from the bottom
plates of the coffey still as thes distillates have the balance of flavours which Our Cellar Master has selected exceptional casks from 2009. These

enable a long maturation period to provide intensity and complexity.

TASTING NOTES: This exceptional rum has an intense nose of honeyed
raisin, candied fruits and toasty liquorice oak with a hint of toffee. On the palate,
sweet tropical fruits give way to spicy vanilla-tobacco intensity and a definite
hint of peaty earthiness from the Irish whiskey cask. Wonderfully balanced and
complex, the rum has successfully fused two great spirits ancestries to give a
unique and rare tasting experience.
