Plantation 2002 Jamaica

Nice light gold color. At the nose, we can detect typical varnish, solvent note coming from Jamaica with fruity notes like pineapple, banana and mango. On the palate, same aroma, very smooth. The final is not very long but nice rum.

Un rhum assez corsé, vieilli en fûts de bourbon dans un premier temps, puis en fûts de cognac.
Un nez assez prononcé, mélange de fruits et d'épices, assez proche d'un rhum agricole pour moi.
En bouche, il n'est ni trop sec, ni trop sucré. On retrouve un mélange de fruits exotiques, d'épices et de canne, sans qu'une saveur prenne réellement le dessus.
Quoi qu'il en soit, il est plutôt costaud et ne manque pas de corps!
Un rhum agréable à découvrir, mais pas forcément accessible aux personnes préférant les rhums plus doux et plus sucrés!

This rum was bit disappointing ,I was expecting something smoother. That said, it is a good rum ,just not one that I would prefer to sip. The strong rum flavour makes the best rum and coke.

I think this is the best plantation expression I’ve had. Perfectly balanced with a great brûlée’d vanilla like taste.

This rum is somehow schizophrenic. Aroma is typical wild jamaican with fruity tones and some esters. But taste is sweet with feuit, peach and banana. Aftertaste is shorter but finaly with some jamaican tones. This can be good "transit rum" from sweet ones to typical jamaicam high voltage, high ester non sweetened rums.

I really loved this jamaican, as it was like a training jamaican to me. It's got the notes of a funkier jamaican, but it was sweet and more demure. Was a great way to relax with a jamaican rather than feeling like you were dancing hard with a jamaican.

Hard to go past the plantation brand in general however this one is one of the best tasting- and for the price its a perfect pick! Great by itself on ice or to mix with any soda or juice 9/10

This was my second rum of "better ones" and what a nice rum, VERY affordable here, and now im looking forward to buy the pineapple one!

Wouldnt be disappointed if this was all I could find on vacation. Has that classic Plantation taste

Just came off a two week whiskey tasting so this was very smooth. Not sure if it was this particular rum or just rum in general after ???
