According to the Plantation website: "Plantation Guyana is the only rum in the Plantation range to have sugar cane syrup as its raw material. From a long fermentation, then distilled in a Charente alambic pot still and finally aged in bourbon casks a fine balance is earned. Bottled at 45% it’s a “masterpiece of harmony and power” according to Paul Pacult in the Spirit Journal (April 2015)"

The 90 proof is definitely noticeable but I'll get to that in a moment.

I'm going to be brief over the first couple of items. Firstly, I like the aroma. It is rather intense with a slight floweriness to it. Almost honeysuckle. It is a rich amber hue with excellent legs.

An aside (please bear with me): I enjoy honey and I am fortunate enough to live in the region that produces the very rare Tupelo honey which is made during a very short season. I usually obtain my Tupelo honey from a couple of sources here in Florida (Apalachicola, FL and Wewahitchka, FL) and enjoy it throughout the year.

With that being said I would swear this rum has Tupelo honey in it. Almost like a Tupelo honey mead. There is ample woodiness to it and a marked pepperiness. A nice caramel undertone. The finish The 90 proof creates a solid, but not overwhelming, burn in the back of the throat. Still rather smooth. There is a sweetness to it that is clearly sugaring. I've had worse but I'd probably have given it a slightly higher rating if they hadn't sugared it so noticeably giving it a caramel candy undertone. But sugaring is the norm with Plantation rums. Sometimes it works and sometimes, like in this case, it doesn't work as well. I would love to sample this rum before the sugaring. Don't get me wrong, this is a good rum but IMHO probably could have been better.

Overall, it's a good sipping rum. Something different to try.

one of the best. Simple and complex. It is almost liquer like in its sweetness, just before the sugar overpowers you the spices and sharp cigar like note cuts through leaving a finnish that is out of this world. The best rum in its price range in my opinion. With this I understand how pirates could stay for days on a random beach just drinking outstanding rum

Nice aroma, bit toxic like ant poison I use. Lemon barel and deep malty notes. Harsh at the beginning and long warming at the end. Very good qualityproduct

Very nice petrol notes on the nose and on the palate.
Some youth is noticeable but its not bothersome.

...

As the glass sits (or my mouth numbs), a lingering syrup taste gradually dominates the palate... A plantation signature it seems.

Color: Old gold

Smell:
Fresh and clean with typical Demerara aromas. Slightly medicinal and peaty. Smells like pineapple, aniseed, cleaning agent, and suede.Furthermore I smell peppermint and licorice.

Palate
Wow, this one is tasty! Appears to be only slightly sweetened and less sweet than other Plantation Rums that I had before. Spicy and bold with a lot of power. The alcohol is quite obvious as well. Tastes like aniseed, white pepper, licorice and leather. Slight soapy with peppermint and mirabelle aromas in the background.

Finish:
Long and still dominated by spicy aniseed, pepper and licorice with a slightly metallic aftertaste.

Summary:
A very positive surprise! Recommended with with a very good value for money. Finally a Plantation Rum that I like. Maybe this is because it is the only Plantation Rum made of sugarcane juice instead of molasses.

Good compromise if you like the taste of agricole but want something less dry.

Very strong aroma and taste accompanied by strong tingeling feeling. Quite rough for my taste but very interesting.
