St. Nicholas Abbey Rare Single Cask Ltd Reserve 15-Year

I really like this rum. The smell i gentle and with oak, caramel and a hint of fruit. II was surpriced how thin it is in the mouth and glass. The taste is oak with some sweetness and very gentle. The taste stays in the mouth a long time and is a pleasure. But i cant give a higher score than 8 because its expensive and i expext more at that price.

Nose is super inviting, fruity and with a slight industrial touch that really suits it. In the back im also finding Vanilla.
In the mouth, a little weak at first, vanilla, dried fruit (abricot and banana?) and some coconut dominates to me. But the exit to the aftertaste is very good!
Aftertaste is long, and varies... Fruit comes, then disappears, comes again. Its dry and yet it feels a bit sweet. I like it but will never be a gigantic fan of the genre, a bit too watery. BUT dont get me wrong this is good. 8/10

This is a single cask rum so it is all 15 years old, and nothing is added to this rum which I like a lot!! The rum is very light in color because they haven't added any color to it, and when you swirl it in the glas, it makes some medium fat drops that moves slowly down. It is incredibly intense in the nose and the first that comes to my mind is ''tropical fruits in a summer day'' like if you were enjoying it on Barbados (have never been there, so I'm only imagine it:-). I find banana, melted butter, vanilla and some orange peel in the nose, delicious!! In the mouth it is also very intense, clean, thick and a little bit dry, and there I find notes as banana, orange, oak and in general tropical fruits. The aftertaste is well balanced and just keep on coming for a looooong time. This rum is really outstanding and everyone should try this authentic rum!!

Headed back to Barbados next month. Enjoyed this right at the Abby and forgot to leave a review. All of the aged rums at the Abby are matured at Foursquare with the Abby’s sugar cane production. Very smooth uniquely different than Foursquare rums but a hefty price tag. Well worth trying not the best bang for your buck.

Took the tour, rode the train, tasted the goods and purchased the best. This rum is far superior to anything I’ve tried before

Possibly my favourite rum I’ve ever tasted. Outstanding, can’t recommend it enough

I had paid vacation in Barbados and Plan to visit St Nicholas Monastery to taste and buy this rum .
And is almost impossible to buy this rum in Europe especially in the Czech republic.
But I had a bit of luck in Rum house in Prague to taste this unique rum .
It's dry and I'm not a big fan of dry rums but in this case, was acceptable and the overall taste was really good .
So anytime you will have a chance to taste or buy it , this is unique rum from Monastery

Someone loves me way more than I deserve. This is outstanding.

Sugar: Estimated at 0-5 GPL. This is the smoothest of the St Nicholas line of rums that I have been able to taste or own. I was able to snag a sample of this while touring the Abbey. Oak, honey, vanilla, clover, tropical fruit, and subtle taste of smoke with a long smooth burn. In my opinion all of the St Nicholas Abbey rums have similar flavour profiles that become smoother with aging. I have the 5, 8, and 12 year old rums in my bar and the 15 year old was tempting to own, but it's a bit overpriced compared to the 12 year old vintage. The rum is pure gold but you need some gold in your pocket to own it. I bought a bottle of the 5 and 8 year old vintages for less than the cost of the 15.

This is not just a fantasticly smooth rum but it also has a sentimental factor. We just keep going back to it
