Admiral Nelson's Rum
Value spiced rum, poured on Long Island for decades.
The story behind Admiral Nelson's
Admiral Nelson's was built by Luxco in St. Louis, and the rum stocks themselves come up from the Caribbean, including the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, where they are distilled from fermented sugarcane molasses. The liquid lands in the United States, gets blended with spices and vanilla, and goes into the bottle. Sazerac, the family owned Bardstown, Kentucky company founded in 1935, bought the brand in 2011.
The label carries Admiral Horatio Nelson, the British officer who died at Trafalgar in 1805. The rum inside is a value tier pour, and it has spent years as the second largest selling spiced rum in the country. We have stocked it on Jericho Turnpike long enough to watch it become a house staple for backyard mixing.
