Cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg lead here, with grapefruit and orange peel poking through and a thick, oily mouthfeel that carries a long finish. It reads sweet and fruity on the nose, then turns properly spicy on the palate. Made from cane honey at St. Nicholas Abbey and bottled at cask strength, it's a young Barbados rum with plenty of grip — one taster called it heavy on the spice from nose to finish.
The community says- Long oily finish
- Cinnamon and pepper
- Keep in mind: Young oak edge

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Spicy, oily young Barbados cask-strength sipper Well-liked young Barbadian: fruity, spice-forward and oily with a long finish. A few feel it's better as a sample than a full bottle, and one questioned the price.

Distinct sweet scent and taste of Barbaros, in the mouth I wouldn't say it has 60%, but then it pleasantly develops longer.

#7182 18.08.2026 Relaxing in front of the TV while running a few samples. Pretty nice rum with an OK price tag at release. Intense profile with fruits, spice, nbutts, caramel, grass, sugarcane and light roasted wood.
Review by Rum Runner Labs - Will
Heavy on the spices! From nose to finish plenty of cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg. Hints of dried fruit and toasted sugar join on the nose, along with leather and a suggestion of grapefruit on the palate. Strong finish returning to theme: cinnamon, nutmeg.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/10/2025: sample from filipsikula. Happy to be able to taste something from St. Nicholas Abbey for the first time. It's sweet/fruity on the nose and heavy on the spices on the palate. Not a bad rum but I don't need a full bottle.
Review by jayelle
I think this is my first St Nicholas rum. Not sure why some of their stuff is so expensive. Enjoyable, but overpriced I feel like.
