Plantation Barbados 5-Year

This rum was a bit disappointing at first. It had a strong nose on ethanol and the first taste was somewhere between rum with an aftertaste of vodka. But after a few days the taste changed and became much more pleasant.

This is something to try. As far as i have tasted Plantation rums, this is the best value rum. It is bit too sweet but really nice on the rocks. If you have tasted on Plantation you have tasted them all, if we talk about aged rums.

Ikke smagt. .

Use of cognac barrel in finishing this rum makes this little different. Very easy to enjoy and taste is mature enough to sip this neat. I like this easy going rum.

First let me say that my very favorite rum is the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary. After trying this 5-year, it's obviously not as good as the 20th, but it's getting close and it's still a very good rum. For the $22 I paid for this bottle, I have not found anything better. It's got a sweet taste which I like, and a very slight bite but really not bad at all as far as that goes. For a 5-year aging, this is a really excellent rum.

Another good rum from plantation .. starting to get a taste for there rum after mixed experiences to begin with.

Bon pour les amateurs de rhums sucrés et parfumés

Épicé, droit. Une finale sucrée/caramel (mais pas trop!) et une belle sensation de chaleur.

Nice light golden brown color. Sweet caramel aroma. Smooth sweet caramel tones smooth going down. A must for those who have not tried it.

Nice and smooth, good flavour. You probably won't buy this one again after tasting the XO 20th anniverary.
