The St. Nicholas Abbey 5 Year Old Rum is an exceptional spirit that showcases the unique flavors and traditions of Barbados. This rum is crafted from sugar cane honey grown and pressed on the St. Nicholas Abbey estate and is distilled using both Pot and Column Still methods. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors with a rich aroma of grass, dried apricot, caramel, and dominant notes of butterscotch. The taste profile is a perfect melody of butterscotch, cream toffee, and a twist of lemon, with succulent and creamy elements creating a balance for a light and pleasant sipping experience.
This 2015 release is aged in American oak, resulting in a fruity and spicy flavor profile. The cane sugar aromas develop nuances of marron glace, with hints of citrus and steamed artichoke. With aeration, the rum unfurls like a flower, revealing nuances of marron glace and full-bodied cane sugar, sprinkled with tonka bean and vanilla.
Bottling is done by hand in elegant, individually engraved decanters, sealed with a mahogany wood stopper topped with embossed leather. As a visitor to the St. Nicholas Abbey estate, you can explore the grand colonial house, distillery, and museum, which has a history dating back 350 years to its creation by two neighboring planters who engaged in a duel.

Overall, the St. Nicholas Abbey 5 Year Old Rum is a fantastic, elegant, and round rum that ranks among the best low ABV 5-year-old rums. While it offers a light yet interesting nose with some pleasant elements, it may not entirely come together as expected for some. The rum is hard to find in certain regions, adding to its allure. Produced by St. Nicholas Abbey entirely on their own, this rum is made from their white rum crafted from cane syrup in their hybrid still and aged in old bourbon barrels. Despite some reviewers finding it a bit grassy, it remains an admired and appreciated rum.
