Plantation Belize XO Single Cask Pineau des Charentes Finish

Schönes sattes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase dezente Noten von kandierten Früchten und leicht rauchig getoastetem Holz.
Im Gaumen ein angenehm warmes Mundgefühl, sehr elegant, sehr schön ausgewogen. Karamell, dunkle Schokolade, Gewürze und Holz sind die dominanten Aromen.
Im Abgang herrlich lang, Süssholz, Schokolade, reife Früchte...
Ein nicht so süsser Plantation Rum, ideal mit Freunden am Strand...

Beautiful full amber in the glass.
In the nose, subtle notes of candied fruit and slightly smoky toasted wood.
On the palate a pleasantly warm mouthfeel, very elegant, very well balanced. Caramel, dark chocolate, spices and wood are the dominant flavors.
In the finish wonderfully long, sweet wood, chocolate, ripe fruit ...
A not so sweet Plantation rum, great with friends on the beach ...

Som altid er det en oplevelse af de gode med Plantation men denne X.O. Er nu super god.

This rum had so much smell and taste. A lot to offer if you just give it some time in the glass. A must try if you get the chance.

I'm a huge fan of the Plantation rums, finding them to be not only among the best values in the business but also among the best tasting (to my palette, of course). The Belize is no exception. I was especially taken by the ever-so-slightly smoky nose on this rum along with its unique flavor profile clearly brought about by its unique single-cask finish. The flavors I'm used to tasting seemed to have a new edge in this expression - less overt sweetness, perhaps a vegetal "rounding" or maturing. Lovely!

Such an assault of taste. But in a good way of course. Still has that signature Plantation sugary tropical fruits backbone but it is surrounded by funk and woodiness. A complex beast that demands you take your time

Another very good rum from Plantation. Belizean rum is very good and I like it much better than neighboring Guatemalan rums. Plantation produced a complex and rich rum that captures the smooth sweetness of Belizean rum with some nice complex honey and brown sugar notes. But they completely went off the rails with the finish which adds some heavy Guatemalan wood notes. Likely the Pineau des Charente influence. The finish is not in balance and sort of drops you off a cliff. Still a nice rum.

A good rum, a fantastic rum if you like coconut flavour. Medium sweetness and could have more "body" finishes quite quick. My rating is due to I'm not really in to so much coconut taste.

Jeg syns den var ok til at State med. Så har jeg haft den i en karafle i et års tid. Så er den bare super god. Kukus og sommer.

Oak and plum in the nose. Oak and a lot of burning alcool in the mouth. The aftertaste is too tiny, but not too bad. A rum still looking for its equilibrium. Maybe just a little bit too young?

Although at 41° it shows some character and has some sweet finish like some of the Plantation Line. It shows some spiciness and some tropical fruit notes.
A great easy going rhum to start your rum tasting night!
