(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
It’s a kind of sweet rum. I think it’s better on the nose than it is to the mouth. Rich aromas (very pleasant), rich fruity and sweet taste. For one or two glasses the most.
I do not recommend on the rocks (it will get weak), I think it’s better straight out of the bottle. Not to great for a cigar. For the money it costs it is fair. It has added sugar but not to much. If you like Diplomatico reserva exclusiva, for half the price you will like this too.
In two words: good and cheap but not “wow””.

Not an authentic Barbadian rum due to some heavy dosage post distillation. However, pop this for the non rum snob and they’ll beg for more
