\nThe French were the island’s first European settlers, thanks to a pirate named Fran\u00e7ois Le Clerc, nicknamed \u201cJambe de Bois\u201d because of his wooden leg.
\nEngland took control of the island from 1663 to 1667. In ensuing years, it was at war with France fourteen times, and the rule of the island changed frequently (it was ruled seven times each by the French and British). In 1814, the British took definitive control of the island.
\nSaint Lucia only became independent within the British Commonwealth in 1979.
\nThe country is becoming more and more touristic. Two mountains, the Pitons, form the island’s most famous landmark on the western side of the island.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7306″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nAdmiral Rodney<\/h5>\n
\nThe distillery, the only one of Saint Lucia island has been created in 1972 as a result of the merger of Saint Lucia last two distilleries (Barnard Distillery from Dennery and Geest Distillery from Roseau Valley).
\nAwarded \u201c(Rum) Distillery of the Year\u201d by World Spirits in 2018, St Lucia is producing a 100% English Style Rum.
\nThe Admiral Rodney signature flavour profile comes from the robust base rum extracted from lower plates on the Coffey still, where there is less alcohol but more natural flavour and true rum character. These rums are then patiently aged in oak casks and meticulously blended to create soft, rich sipping rums that tell stories long after your glass is empty.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
