St. Nicholas Abbey White Rum
A solid stepping stone white rum for those curious about cane-syrup distillates. Light, fruity and slightly vegetal with banana, citrus and floral notes. Best as a sippable mixer rather than a flavor bomb, according to 10 RumX reviews.
The community says- Unsweetened cane syrup
- Soft and balanced
- Low intensity

Review by Jack M
Very sipable unaged rum. This is distilled from cane syrup as opposed to molasses which makes it somewhat of an oddity as a Bajan rum. The flavour profile reflects this and has more agricole typical flavours and what stands out for me is grass, olive, earthy, floral. At 40% it isn’t bursting with flavour intensity unfortunately but it is very nice. After a long while the residual flavour in my mouth is a bit like what I would expect if I had bitten into a saplings branch.
Review by Wagnerlicious
A very interesting, unaged rum. Made from sugar cane syrup, it has clear traces of sugar cane, grass, overripe banana and citrus on the nose. Very floral. Very balanced and smooth on the palate. Alcohol well integrated. Again floral, fruity and grassy notes, tending somewhat in the Agricole direction, but still independent. Somewhat nutty, vanilla and again notes of overripe banana. A different kind of unaged rum.
