Have nothing to say at the moment.
It’s simple, little bit sweet, and little bit alcohol burn. Do not get some special enjoy from this one.
As a tiki fanatic, I often find myself in a bind when choosing rums for my mixed drinks. Garbage rums will produce garbage mixed drinks (Ray's Mistakes notwithstanding), but the subtleties of truly high-end rums get lost in them as well. There's a fine line when choosing rums that have enough character to stand out in tiki drinks but don't end up being a waste of money (and good rum!).
Barbados is a rum that shines in this category. I once tried putting the 20-year in a Mai Tai, and it was a sad experience. Not only did the outstanding rum get lost among the other flavors, but actually muddied the clarity of the orange and orgeat flavors. On the recommendations of this site, I tried the Barbados 5-year instead. The results were outstanding. While as a sipper you can tell it is missing some of the harmonics that make the 20-year so appealing, as a mixer it's perfect. It has fewer notes than the 20-year, but that's a plus in a mixed drink.
This is an amazing rum at the price. It's not terrible as a sipper, but there are better options out there. As a mixer, though, it's a worthy addition to your cabinet anywhere you need a blended aged rum.
(I have had 11 rums, about a 1/2 oz of each before this review. Without any palette cleansers for those that makes a difference too):
My first reaction was carmel into vanilla and then a smooth burn. Upon the rest of the glass i get more barell before the burn. The barell does not overpower like other rums i have had but adds a little "spice" or flavour to the finish. A good baseline for barbados in my opinion.
Decent bottle, boring colour. A little too much alcohol in nose and mouth. However, a good value. Okay for sipping, maybe better for mixing...
Dejlig sød og let drikkelig. Til en pris på lige under 250kr, er det umiddelbart svært at finde en bedre flaske.
Finally was I able to get my hands on this beauty! Cant go wrong with Plnatation, this an amazing rum for the $21 only. Nice bottle, good taste, not overly sweet, no alcohol burn, definitely a must have.
Uffff buenísimo para ser un 5 años. Se siente el dulce sin llegar a exagerar, y lo disfrutas si quieres solo o con hielo. Ni imaginar cómo puede combinar. Una muy buena sorpresa.
Easy drinking light rum. Mildy sweet with a clean finish and very little burn. A good sipping rum for everyday
Easily a 7 for the price at £26 It's a steal. Wonderful mixer and actually ok to sip even after 5 years. Plantation do their rums well fine Barbados tastes of the Caribbean
Very fruity, smooth, can drink neat with no problem

This is a really smooth sipping Rum.
When you crack the bottle you definitely smell and can taste that it was aged in bourbon barrels. I'm glad i took the chance. No need to mix this on the rocks is great.. no burn at all. Enjoy.... I did!
Months later I’m back into this bottle and although I have a lot more tasting under my belt my rating is unchanged. I love the tobacco notes and molasses. Still an 8 in my book.
