St. Nicholas Abbey Foursquare 12 Years old
Highly praised for its pure, balanced Barbados profile with elegant vanilla, fruit and oak. A refined, easy-drinking 12-year rum that many consider a benchmark despite its modest 40% ABV.
Fans of classic, unsweetened Barbados rum who enjoy smooth, balanced vanilla-and-caramel sippers at 40% and value elegance over power, especially bourbon or whisky drinkers crossing over.

How does this rum taste?
Pure, elegant Barbados classic
If you like well-made, gently oaked Barbados rums like Foursquare’s easier releases, this is a refined, purist step up in age and elegance—just know it drinks softly at 40%.
Those chasing cask-strength intensity, big funk, or maximum value for money; drinkers who find 40% rums too thin or want a more aggressive, high-ester experience.

Best Bajan rum I’ve tasted so far. This release is produced by Foursquare for St. Nicholas Abbey, cause they hadn’t rum aged at this length at this stage of their production. Nowadays they have released a 12yo produced at the estate if I’ve understood it right.
This is the Rum that got me interested in the Rum World. So so pure and tasty. Also had the 8 yr & 10 yr. Wish I could get more. Only 1 full bottle left.
A very fine wine, unfortunately hard to come by. Impresses with its balance and fruitiness
This one does really well when compared to the 15 year old. Fruity and round and I love the light smoky touch on the palate. Would have loved to try it with a higher ABV because I think it would have done it well.
