Plantation Barbados 5-Year

It’s like single cane has met danish navy rum. Just the perfect sweet and perfect bitty.

Den funkar helt okej som en vardagsrom för att stilla sina smaklökar, räcker till och med med några droppar i köttmarinaden.
Påminner lite om XO:n fast lite tunnare.

Finally managed to find some Plantation Rum in South Africa! Absolutely amazing! Definitely has similar notes to the Plantation XO and very smooth, rich mouth feel! Vanilla scented, rich dark taste - this is exactly what rum should taste like!!!

Been looking at this bottle on the shelf for a few years now ...
Took the plunge..as my partner on the road trip to the East coast ...
Had to buy another one in PEI for the ride home...
Was NOT disappointed!!!
Price was right too!

Egentligen ingen drickrom utan en blandform men i brist på annat går den sippa på med stor mängd is. Prisvärd , bra att blanda med och bra doft.

If you vanilla you will like this. Definitely has some oak to it too but really got vanilla with first sip. Easy to drink, easy finish. You can share this rum anywhere with anyone, especially your recently divorced buddy Doug

Great tasting rum. Nice sipping rum. Hints of honey and dark caramel. Highly recommend.

Color: 4/5, nice light color. Nose: 8/10, very mild hints of coconut.
Taste: 16/20. Very round taste; dies a bit quick.
Really good value for money.

moderately good rhum character but so much added sugar it drinks like a syrup

Nice to drink but not to treassure. Empty it fast and get an other bottle

You can’t beat the price for the quality of this rum. It’s cheap enough to not feel bad about mixing but good enough to sip on its own. I also appreciate it can be bought in large format.

Nice flavours of nuts, caramel and milk chocolate. The cognac finishing definitely gives it something different, perfect rum for mixing.

I think this was the second bottle of rum I ever purchased and it was a little underwhelming. Alright if you're on a budget. A 7 year of this would be much better.

This is what I would call an average rum. There is nothing wrong with it, its much better than your run of the mill cheap rums but it won’t knock your socks off. Great for mixing

This was a pleasant surprise, An easy drink from start to finish whether neat or mixed. A great value

For me, it's very similar to Havana Club 7.
Not a sweet rum. Good flavor, but simple.
I prefer Diplomatico Mantuano.

It's a long way from Plantation XO 20th.

This is really good so far, it's so perfect for the price. Easly the best for the cost, I'm in love

Seriously! I added this to my wishlist because of all the reviews and WOW you guys did not disappoint. This is the first rum that I can say I can drink neat or on the rocks. Let it sit for a few minutes and once the vapors disperse, MY GOD, it is absolutely delicious! I can taste the caramel and Vanilla and all the deliciousness! I added a splash of coke (Literally less than .5 oz) and HOLY MAMA it took it to a ridiculous new level. Hands down my FAVORITE rum. I can not wait to try their XO. Thanks everyone for the suggestion, I love you guys!

Beautiful and will buy again plus i will sample many others from this company, buy it n enjoy say no more

This rum has some good flavor. It is light with tastes of oak, dried fruits, butter. A solid mixer for sure. I have drank it neat and its a bit harsh. Especially after doing a side by side with kirk and sweeny 12y. Good stuff.

Hladší a chutnejší brat GR, ale len o trošku. Ale predsa.

When I got this bottle I expected it to be barely drinkable on it's own, but it is surpricingly good! It's not a very complex rum, but it still deliver some nice flavours. This is the rum where my rum-adventure started, and I recomend this as a possible beginner rum. For me it's not to sweet or to dry, it hits perfectly in between.

Tasted a few rums between 20-40 euro and ended up buying this one. It was the best one IMO and eventually was the cheapest one too. WIN WIN! (the other rums I tasted were Plantation Guatemala Belize and Mount Gay Black Barrel)
Lots of vanilla, oak, bit of spices. There's a nice, not too overwhelming sweetness. It triggered an instant summer-feeling when I took my first sip.

I love the smoothness of this rum. I drink it with club soda so the taste really comes thru each sip! I do add a lime too just so I ward off scurvy! The molasses comes thru as a vanilla finish. I’ve been to Barbados and gone thru the tour. Another great Barbados rum is Mount Gay! I prefer the Black Label version which is stored in Jack Daniels used blackened barrels. I think that name is awkward. Especially when I wear my shirt from there - people stare at me. I’m straight and I have many gay friends - that’s not the point. Both rums are hidden treasures!
