I'm not big fan of Plantation brand, but this rum isn't bad. Aroma is sweet like baked cinnamon roll or something simillar baked. In taste is for me too much alcohol, but maybe that makes warm feeling after first sip. Not perfect, but definitelly not bad.

Za mě naprosto skvělý rum v poměru cena/výkon. Svěží ovocná vůně i chuť. Na své "stáří", nebo spíše mládí překvapivě neštípe. Vždy udržuji více lahví, protože se jedná o ideální rum na běžné popíjení. Rum ničím neurazí, naopak v této cenové kategorii nabízí skvělou chuť a vůni dospělého rumu. Naprosto skvělý do míchaných drinků, ale zcela jistě i samostatně, nebo na ledu. Kandidát na horké letní dny.

Nose - vanilla. One dimensional smell.
Tastes of vanilla, raisins and a bit of honey. Nice lasting finish. I was expecting it to be harsh for 5 year rum. but its not. For its price a very good option.

Really easy drinking whether neat or on the rocks. The flavor also lends extremely well to hot buttered rum. It has notes of raisins, dried fruits, and caramel. One I would definitely always keep on hand.

Good price and good rum. It may not be the most complex but for the price it's smooth and tasty.

Poměr ceny / kvality je velmi dobrý. Není to na skleničku k rozjímaní, ale za tu cenu se to chlastá parádně.

All of the Plantation rums are good, and bring great value, since they are not expensive.

For some reason or another MG eclipse was my first rum a couple of years ago and I was not impressed. I figured I would give rum another try earlier this year and bought Plantation 5 year and have been on a rum run ever since. Recently bought my 2nd bottle just because I have tried many different rums since then and wanted to get back to where it all started from and to post the most fair rating I could, not by relaying on past memory. I have to credit this rum for my love of rums today. Between this and Stades No. 8 I know of no other rum that can beat the value - under $25. If anyone reads this and can offer a better value rum than this, please let me know.

A very good rum for the price. As a sipper it's a bit hot for my palate. Sweet upfront with vanilla and sugar but it dries out in the finish and is not too sweet by any means. Not as complex as I'd have imagined. I think this would be fine as a mixer. At less then a $20 bill it's a good rum and could be served over ice with a twist of lime as well. A really good all purpose rum!
Revised May 2019 - I've been using this a lot lately as one of my rums to blend in tiki cocktails and other mixed drinks. I'm raising my rating on this to a 7 from my initial 6 as this rum is excellent when blending with other rums and for use in a wide variety of cocktails. Solid product with not too much dosage added. A fine mixing rum that has many uses!
