HMS Princessa is made from a blend of rums aged between five and nine years in casks that previously held bourbon. With delicious notes of raisins, vanilla, honey, Caribbean spice, oak and crème brulee, this is a wonderful introduction to the Admiral Rodney range. Admiral Rodney was a brilliant naval strategist who famously broke the French line at the Battle of the Saints, something which enabled Britain to dominate the Caribbean. HMS Princessa was one of the first ships to engage with the French in this battle.
