Plantation 2001 Barbados

Let it rest a minute to breathe. Sip. Stop. Rest. Repeat. Patiently. This has got spunk. And funk. Stays with you. Stewed Stone fruit? Dry. Good.

I don't know if I got a weird batch, but I'm having the hardest time deciphering this flavor profile. Yes I read the label, but I'm still confused. I taste banana, but that's all. I agree with the "softness" of it. I will admit it is an amazingly smooth rum and is a great sipper, however the flavor throws me off. I'm merely ranking it from the smoothness and the drinkability.

Purchased at Total Wine - $53.99. My favorite rum is the Plantation 20 Yr which I use as a benchmark. This 2001 Barbados is a bit lighter in color, not as deep amber as others. Light nose with a slight smell of alcohol. Even though it is 42% alcohol, the taste is a bit lighter than expected. Clean with a very smooth finish. Very enjoyable - I'll want to try the others from this collection as well.

Given to me by David. Was a good rum. Never could find it anywhere. Just rememer it was a good one

Nice warmth, with wood shavings, spices, honey and sweet fruits.

A bit less smooth than the Plantation XO which i rated 10. Still very pleasant rum

Tasted at Laka Lono on 2/7/22. Golden color. Mild toasted caramel aroma. mellow caramel coffee flavors. Great mid-point roastedness. Finishes with balanced honey notes. Delicious.

Άλλο ένα τίμιο καλό ρούμι από την σειρά Plantation την οποία φαίνεται να εκτιμώ όλο και περισσότερο. Αναπόφευκτη η σύγκριση με το 5αρι λόγο της κοινής καταγωγής τους (Barbados) . Λίγο μεγαλύτερη ένταση και λίγο μεγαλύτερη διάρκεια , ίδια γεύση και αρώματα ...... ΟΚ θα προτιμήσω ένα 5αρι αλλά αν βρεθεί στο δρόμο μου δε θα του χαριστώ ......

Full of flavor on the nose. Coconut, sweet spices (nutmeg, vanilla), tropical fruit basket (banana, unripe mango)
Sweet tropical fruit such as banana will first hit your mind and follow with fully ripped pineapple. Buttery, sweet spices and honey too.
Cotton candy finishing with a light toasted aroma lingering.
A good bottle from Plantation!
