Great character. Baking spices, vanilla, oak. Good kick, generous finish.
Figured I'd give this a try at on sale for $27. Not exactly what I was expecting. The added sugar is like way upfront. It even overpowers the alcohol which surprised me. I'm a fan of their Fiji rum and that supposedly has the same sugar content at around 16/gpl. Although this has a nice bajan flavor once you get through the sugar it seems more like 2-3yr (Fiji) instead of the stated 5yr. Glad it was on sale and I tried it but will stick with the Fiji which is the same price and more enjoyable IMO!
Nice complex flavor and a value at $25US (2022). Something you can have everyday and still enjoy without breaking the bank.
Fin rom der både smager og dufter af rom og ikke orm.
At first, I was surprised by the sweetness and coconut, which is rather prominent. But once I came to expect it, I truly enjoyed this as a smooth sipper. Just be ready for that coconut.
Seeing as the Plantation 20th Anniversary XO is one of my favourite rums, I thought I would try the much cheaper 5 year old, if for no other reason to compare and contrast. Wow, what a let down in comparison! That’s because this 5 year old is disgusting. It’s so inferior to the XO that I’m genuinely shocked that these two completely different rums are produced by the same distillery! On the palate this 5 year rum old has plenty of sweetness to it, but no real distinguishing flavour to speak of, so it just comes across as rather bland. Then you’ve got the fact that the alcohol burn is too harsh, making this very unpleasant to stomach. Then, on top of all that, if things weren’t already bad enough, in the finish this rum possesses a horrid taste. Full disclosure, I’m struggling how best to describe said taste, but think of spiced apple and you won’t be a million miles away from the truth.
First of all its clear strong brown color calls for drinking. And taste is not dissapointing at all. It is best with ice cold rocks but and mixture hides taste. Smooth and tasty. Little bit too sweet for more than a couple of glasses.
Stand up very well mixed. Not very expensive and great value overall.

The liquid is a darker amber. Outstanding aroma in the bottle and sweet flavor with buttery vanilla-butterscotch taste that fades temporarily when the burn hits. Fairly strong burn but fades quickly leaving a good lingering taste. Arguably the best rum for the price. Works as a smooth sipping rum as well as a mixer.
I am rapidly becoming a big fan of the line of Plantation rums.
