Saint Nicholas Abbey 5 Year Cask Strength

Review #1130; Rum #449

This is a 5 year old rum from Saint Nicholas Abbey on Barbados. This rum was distilled from Cane Syrup that was made from the cane grown at the Abbey. This was then aged for 5  years in ex-bourbon casks before it was bottled at cask strength.

This is great. The fruit flavors standout and there is just the faint touch of some industrial notes. The grapefruit is prominent and delicious and they work well with each other. High prices aside, SNA makes some quality rums.
