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.

***

But however and whatever they do, somehow the Abbey makers of this sterling ten year old have combined their accumulated knowledge and a production method of their own that surpasses expectations and have, I dunno, blessed it with the Force.  And created a drink so all-round excellent, that if I was a Hutt, I’d sure as hell hire Han Solo to smuggle a few cases past the Empire.

The 12 year old isn't bad either, but 30% more expensive.

The 12 year old is indeed quite a bit more expensive then the 10. What you're paying for is more exclusivity, rarity and additional production costs. I liked it a lot and reviewed it positively, but I think the 10 yr old (which forms the backbone of the 12) may be a smidgen better; still, both are excellent drinks of uncommon smoothness and complexity and I'm glad I shelled out the pieces of eight to get 'em.
