Plantation 2002 Barbados

But it stuck with me!
Very nice one from Plantation.
I plan to pick up a bottle so I can try it in some different settings. Solid.

Nice flavor of vanilla and caramel but the after burn is quite strong.

Plantation usually produce great rums. But this one is flat and boring. Nose: nothing! Palate: alcohol and citrus, not very balanced. Letar it breathe for a while is my guess to get more out of it.

It bites a bit, which is totally understandable at 43,2% alc, but I can't say it's not tasty or doesn't have a character. Sweet and nose is strong, afterburn is long-ish, I'd call it Plantation XO's rougher elder brother. Definitely a sipper, no doubts. 74/100, can't say it's disappointment. Would buy again.

Průměrný rum za nadprůměrnou cenu. Doposud asi nejhorší rum značky Plantation, který jsem ochutnal.

My first disappointment with a Plantation rum. It’s just too thin, too sweet and too rough around the edges. It has some spice. Might make a good mixer. Easily consumable “in a bind”. Yes, that is a 5 alright.

Received as a gift. Nose is somewhat light with a slight astringency. Color is a lighter amber. Upon tasting, it is somewhat less complex than the 20th Anniversary, but sweeter. Fairly smooth with a slight afterburn. It's good, but not worth the price. I'll stick with the 20th Anniversary.

This is a great $30 bottle of rum, not $60. It doesn’t really taste like a 15 year aged rum. It’s a bit harsh up front, thin on the mouth and the finish, with strong notes of vanilla and wood. Solid rum, just not exciting

5.5 on my scale. Was okay. Had a bit higher hopes for it given the age (12 in Barbados and 3 in Spain). Straight had a little vanilla flavor. Mixed nothing really called out.
