42% ABV. Boring as all get-out. A good example of what Plantation so often does wrong (though admittedly less so these days). Presumably a waste of decent rum. 6

Smell reveals a surprisingly soapy aroma, which is a tad offputting. The actual rum is very smooth, but unmemorable. No burn at all at the end, but hardly no memories either. The taste disappears super quickly from your taste buds. Plantation has some excellent rums, unfortunately the Grenada 2004 is not one of those.

Alkohol: 42 %
Původ: Grenada
Aroma: Ostřejší typ vůně, aroma je pikantně štiplavé, s medovou sladkostí, přezrálým ovocem, vanilkou a jen lehkým dotekem dřeva. Výrazná je tu kořenitost, pak kakao, čokoláda, ostrá lakovost. Dál se dá najít sušený banán. Zajímavý mix vůní, který mě zaujal. (90 b)
Chuť: Ve vůni byl sice ostřejší, ale na jazyku je překvapivě uhlazený. Sladkost asi 1/3. Vanilka, čokoláda, med, dub, v dochuti pak trochu vystrčí růžky hřebíček. V chuti trochu postrádá živost, kterou má ve vůni. (86 b)
Body: 88
Shrnutí: Ochutnal jsem díky českolipskému podniku Kavárna/bar Kocour, kde jsem zakoupil 60 ml vzorky pro další společnou degustaci v Hořicích u josého. Solidní pití, které rozhodně nezklamalo, ale body nahoru zde táhla spíš vůně, než chuť. Z pěti ochutnaných rumů skončil tento v tvrdé konkurenci na 4. místě.

Light and delicate british colony style rum. Light but still aromatic, good sipper. Aftertaste lets a taste of soap in my mouth (and my glass was clean!!). Good one but you can find better, even in the Plantation range.
From the information I gathered, this rum was originally distilled in Trinidad (a swim away) and than aged in ex-bourbon casks in Grenada. This would mean it was distilled by Angostura in modern column stills.
Only thing we are certain is that the final step was the famous Plantation/ Maison Ferrand double aging process.
It is quite a light spirit, and the citrus notes are a good hint on its origin. This is a true Spanish style rum or Ron.
The nose is complex and the overall experience deserves an appropriate tulip shape tasting glass. I find myself nosing it for quite a time.
The finish is quite long and equally complex, with an unexpected thyme and herbes de provence note. We are entering mediation stuff territory.
I was recently told by the agency importing it in Quebec that this would be the last Grenada vintage for the Plantation range.
I bought another bottle.
This is a really good rum. My only problem with it is that it doesn't stand out in any way. Good, sweet with a little oak, some dried fruit and a hint of chocolate. But I wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a lot of other rums in a blind taste.
