Review #1522; Rum #821
This rum comes to us from Saint Lucia Distillers, which is of course located on Saint Lucia. This rum pays homage to the HMS Princessa which was a British Naval vessel that patrolled the Caribbean during the 1700s. This rum is a blend of Coffey column still distillate and aged in used oak and port casks for between 5 and 9 years before being bottled.

Not bad by any means for sure. However, 40% is just too low and this comes away, not surprisingly, way too watery and thin. Its fine to sit and sip for something lighter. But I can think of a few things that may bring just a bit more to the table even at a low proof.
1 | Disgusting | So bad I poured it out.
2 | Poor | I wouldn’t consume by choice.
3 | Bad | Multiple flaws.
4 | Sub-par | Not bad, but better exists.
5 | Good | Good, just fine.
6 | Very Good | A cut above.
7 | Great | Well above average
8 | Excellent | Really quite exceptional.
9 | Incredible | An all time favorite
10 | Perfect | Perfect
