Rum Review – St. Nicholas Abbey 10 Yr Old

 

 

This rum is one of the best rums of it’s kind I’ve ever had, and it will dent your wallet to show it’s no accident.  Everything about it works: presentation, nose, taste, finish.  Even the place it’s made has a romantic cachet and youthful exuberance that enhances the aura surounding it.  You see this, you buy it, and buy it now.
