Very nice gentle aroma. First taste is smooth and sweet, but after it lack character. Taste is not complex with short aftertaste.

Sympathique mais pas exceptionnel. Doux mais manque un peu de caractère

A unique idea from plantation here. Ultimately it's not mind-blowing, tastes like Plantation 5 year that spent some time in a whisky barrel, who could have guessed?, but if you're interested in trying a scotchy rum this is probably one of the best you can go for.

Nothing wrong about it but also nothing spectacular. There are better bottles in this price range. It's good for what it is.

Plantation is an excellent bang for the buck rum. This is the first special bottle I’ve purchased. You can taste the extra 8% alcohol for sure. I don’t think I’ll buy again.

Neupřesněných několik let zrání v sudech po bourbonu, 1 rok ve Francii v sudu po koňaku Ferrand a následně ještě půl roku v sudu z jihoamerického tvrdého dřeva Amburana.
Alkohol: 48 %
Původ: Barbados/Francie
Aroma: Perník, skořice, medovník, anýz, vanilka. Trochu z vůně trčí i lihovost. (85 b)
Chuť: Typicky rumová chuť, pikantní, je znát síla 48%, nasládlý jen mírně, jinak spíš do sucha, hlavně později v dochuti. Hřebíček, tmavá čokoláda, dřevo, rumové pralinky, celkový dojem ale kazí opět nevyzrálá lihovost. (83 b)
Body: 84/100
Shrnutí: Za mě zatím vůbec nejslabší plnění z řady Single Cask této značky. Při první ochutnávce mi přišel v pořádku, při další už mi silně vadila ta nevyzrálost a lihovost. Decový vzorek mi bohatě stačil.

This is a good rum. Boozey nose. I get a little bit of pineapple. Would buy this again.

I don't see any point to this rum. It's practically the same as their other double dark which is only ok. It's all advertising.

40.6% ABV. Cask 3, bottle 131 (Smuggler's Cove ed.). N: Cane sugar and peaty smoke. P: Sweet with a smokey finish. Vanilla. F: The sweetness lingers.

Do you like sweet rums? Do you also like peaty Scotch whiskies? Then you just might like this rum. "Interesting" is just about the only positive thing I can say about it. This is a fun experiment from Plantation. However, the intense sweetness is constantly at odds with the smokiness, and to me it's really not delicious.

In the end, this rum lacks a reason to exist. Stick with literally any other offering from Plantation or Barbados.

Almost impossible to drink. 48° - alcohol only plus mawkishness.
Surprisly, similar taste to mauritius Beach House I had last week.
I'm fooled by XO title - it is "double aged" just for ½ of year.
Fixed it quickly with Appleton 12.
Au revuar Plantation.
