Has some sweetness and an enjoyable pour - I believe they add sugar as is often their case
Small fact from plantation “Guyana is the only rum in the Plantation range to have sugar cane syrup as its raw material ”
..first tried it straight - just because it's expensive.. (moderately)..[I'm "poor"] ..felt oak.. I never smell oak.. my smell is fckd.. I don't like whiskey.. I know oak from Bacardi Oakenheart.. but had enough of it.. like long lost love.. this one is giood straight and with Pepsi.. it's a fine day.. suddenly..
Цвет - Тёмный янтарь.
Аромат - Сдержанный, плотный, сочные пряные нотки тростника, почти переходящие в запах солёного сала с чесноком, карамель, не Сент-Лусия, конечно, но ожидания самые позитивные.
Тело - Округлое, маслянистое.
Вкус - Мягкий, бархатный, леденцы, тростник, пряности, весьма сладкий, но не назвал бы его десертным, имбирь, солёные нотки, довольно много дуба.
Послевкусие - Мягкое, карамельное, маслянистое с дубовой терпкостью.
Вывод - Хороший ром, расслабленный, бархатный, но плотный, с твёрдой основой, не субтильный и не водянистый.
Оценка - 8/10
"Plantation Guyana is the only rum in the Plantation range to have sugar cane syrup as its raw material. From a long fermentation it is then distilled in a Charente alembic pot still and finally aged in bourbon casks a fine balance is earned"
This is the PM mark from Demerara, 8y old, unfortunately just 45% abv and sweetened. So we can expect something like ElD 15 or 21. I would expect a bright, sweet, woody profile with sweetness and some fruits. This rum was bottled 2013, so let's liberate it.
When just pooring out this rum, I have the PM mark in the nose and the nose is strong. I would't say it's just 45%, this rum has bite. The nose is overall bright like a typical PM mark but also with some sweeter and darker flavors like caramel and some molasses.
I get some sweetness in the nose first, that I identify as honey, then the pencil shavening, some grasy notes and some molasses. I hadn't expected the dry fruits. The nose is also earthy, the barrel has influenced the smell. After 20min I get some floral notes.
This could be a mix of pot and column still. It's strong but with some typical column still flavors. Maybe it's the dilution and the dosage. The nose is overall quite tasty.
The taste starty sweet with a mix of honey, caramel and pencil shavenings. Just a bright initial taste also with wood and grasy notes. I can notice some dilution, but I promice, if you don't have much experience you would think this is a strong start.
The middle starts again sweet with honey, burned sugar and then turns dark with molasses, wood and earth. Then again gently with vanilla at the end. This is like a mix of PM with Pussers Gunpowder and ElD15. I love this taste, this is not a pure high end rum but I enjoy this one as much as ElD15. An easy lover but still quite complex I would say.
The spice rises and the finish begins. Spice, some light tingeling of alcohol, honey, burned sugar again, molasses and tannins. Then a good bye with wood, earth and vanilla.
Chapeau, I nice blend that has catched me.
You already mention the sweetness and the honey, this intensifies while you drink it.
I love this kind of blends. I could easy drink 10cl and enjoy some series meanwhile.
Yes it have some similarities with ElD15. But it's stronger and is more on the PM side.
This rum doesn't need a lot of attention, but it still offers a lot of the PM mark.
I would say, this is above the ElD15 and somewhere on the level of ElD21.
I would rate it with 85 points.

For me it was a bit to ‘’dry’’ it was a long time in the cabinet, finally I finished this one in coctails. . .
Den er ok, men Plantation har lavet bedre.
Lidt for sprittet, og en flad eftersmag.
Very strong aroma and taste accompanied by strong tingeling feeling. Quite rough for my taste but very interesting.
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.
Deep rich aniseed, alongside juicy plump raisins.
"A spicy slightly heated profile. White pepper and lots of spicy bourbon almost “mash” and oak."

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