Tasting this rum you feel everything Barbados can offer you..lots of citrus spices and fruit surrounded by a nice hint of toasted wood!In the mouth it is rich and has a nice finish that lasts a long time!Promoted with flying colors!

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 Richard Krupa
Výrazná nasládlá vůně i chuť Barbarosu, v puse bych neřekl, že to má 60%, ale pak se přiljemně déle rozvine
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.
