Size:�700ML Proof:�84 (42%ABV) Origin: Barbados Distillery: St. Nicholas Abbey An immensely impressive offering from St Nicholas Abbey in Barbados, this rum spent a generous 23 years maturing in a single cask. Produced from sugar cane grown on the St Nicholas Abbey plantation and traditionally crushed in its steam mill, this ought to make a top addition to a special rum collection. Nose:�Spicy, with cinnamon, fresh pine needles, fudge, vanilla, and a strong whiff of tobacco. Palate:�Medium-bodied with dried currants, peaches, zesty orange, spice, and cinnamon. Finish:�Notes of nutmeg, cinnamon spice, and a buttery m�lange of fruit and brown sugar with a long smooth silky finish. Macaws and steam trains aren�t what you�d expect to see at a distillery, but then St. Nicholas Abbey isn�t your average rum maker. A premier tourist attraction in Barbados, the site is home to a restored Jacobean-style mansion, manicured gardens, a museum, exotic birds, and its own mini railway. It�s also a former plantation, and while today it�s a beauty spot on the bright face of Barbados, it�s also a sobering reminder that rum�s story is often an ugly one. The great house was built by Colonel Benjamin Berringer in 1658, but the first reference of this site�s association with rum dates back to a survey taken between 1717 and 1721 that lists 870 estates and 320 windmills used for sugar production in Barbados, including what was known then as Dottin Plantation. The name Nicholas comes from George Nicholas, husband to the founder�s granddaughter, Susanna. The Nicholas Family sold the plantation to Joseph Dottin and it found its way to Sir John Gay Alleyne (of Mount Gay fame) in October 1746. St. Nicholas was no longer a functioning plantation by 1947, over 300 years after cane was first cut there. Barbados native and noted architect Larry Warren bought St Nicholas Abbey in 2006, creating a heritage attraction, cultural centre, and self-supporting distillery, complete with bottling line and local sugar cane supply. A restored 1890 steam mill, the last of its kind in Barbados, crushes the sugar cane.
