The Plantation Barbados Grand Reserva is a blend of molasses rums that were stored for about 5 years. There is also the Grand Reserva 5 years. I had several bottles of both and there is hardly any difference. The rum is not ideal for sipping, as in addition to its pleasant sweet caramel note with slightly fruity tones such as orange, it also has a clearly perceptible sharpness and the alcohol seems too present while drinking. For mixing cocktails or simply in cola, the rum is absolutely top. Here it unfolds really well. One of the best rums that i have used for mixing. It makes some competition for Havana Club.

I don't really rate rums for mixing, as I find it difficult to rate them. The Grand Reserva from Plantation can also be drunk pure without many problems if you don't want or can't spend much money. For less than 20 euros, it is clearly preferable to all competitors in this price range, such as Bacardi and Co.

Der Plantation Barbados Grand Reserva ist ein Blend aus Melasse Rums welche ca. 5 Jahre gelagert wurden. Es gibt auch den Grand Reserva 5 Jahre. Ich hatte von beiden mehrere Flaschen und es ist kaum ein Unterschied zu erkennen. Der Rum ist zum sippen nicht optimal geeignet, da er neben seiner angenehmen süßen Karamel Note mit leicht fruchtigen Tönen wie z.b. Orange auch noch eine deutlich wahrnehmbare Schärfe hat und der Alkohol mit der Zeit zu präsent wirkt. Zum Mixen für Cocktails oder einfach in Cola ist der Rum aber absolut Top. Hier entfaltet er sich richtig gut. Mit der Beste Rum den in gemixt habe. Klare Havana Club Konkurrenz.

Ich bewerte eigentlich keine Rums zum Mixen, da ich es schwierig finde diese zu bewerten. Der Grand Reserva von Plantation kann aber auch problemlos pur getrunken werden wenn man nicht viel ausgeben will oder kann. Für unter 20 Euro ist er allen Konkurrenten dieser Preisklasse wie Bacardi und Co klar vorzuziehen.

Un très bon agent infiltré pour convertir les frileux des alcools forts au monde merveilleux du rhum !

Klasika plantážňík, velmi univerzální rum který nemůže nikoho urazit. Tahle firma má skvěle zvladnutou jemnost. Neměl sem od nich nic co by aspoň trochu koplo . Jinak 6,5 v pohodě, 7 by bylo moc.

This rum is a great value for the price here in Ontario, Canada. I'm fairly certain this one gets the full Plantation "dosage" treatment and it is quite sweet. But there are some nice flavours here. Plenty of vanilla, cinnamon, a bit of pineapple. It works on the rocks but is probably best suited for use in cocktails. Just be aware that you may have to reduce the amount of simple syrup to keep your cocktail from being oversweet.

Strong vanilla, slightly sweet with a smoky aroma. Smooth, not very rich taste.

The price is pretty good and it has a bit of burn on the way down but not as bad as some of higher price. I’d like to try an older more refined rum from this brand. Interesting!

Plantation always has space in my cupboard. This was not harsh, has a great lingering second wave.

Taste sweet and strong together. Not so significant smell. But not bad for this price.

Opened this on the same evening as the Barbados 5 year. Couldn't really figure out the difference from the labels, but this has way less nose and is a shade lighter. Not much wrong with the taste, but it is shorter lasting than the 5 year.
