This was probobly my first encounter with rum and I was hooked.
A really good balanced rhum for its price.
Light vanilla taste, well balanced with wooden notes.
For around $30 USD where I live, this is a killer deal. I keep a bottle on my bar at all times, with a backup down below. Yes, I use it primarily for mixing, but that doesnโt mean you canโt enjoy it neat too!
Nose: Some ethanol burn, quickly dissipates into semi-sweet vanilla and caramel with a hint of fruit.
Palate: Molasses, butterscotch, vanilla. Nice amount of oak character. Dig deeper and you find a hint of ripe banana and fresh fruit.
I can get this on the shelf at my liquor store for 20$ a bottle. For that price? What is beating this? Almost nothing.
Similar to grande reserve but more peppery and less vanilla. Also a bit smoother. Better for sipping but maybe not justified for mixing in comparisson.
PLANTATION
ORIGIN: Barbados
AGEING: Minimum 5 years in Bourbon and Pierre Ferrand cask.

This is definitely a lighter rum. It doesn't hit quite the same as some other aged rums. The presentation on the bottle is lovely and the price point is a plus as well.
As far as the taste, this is a dry rum, more along the lines of Mount Gay, subtle notes of coconut, but it is more hot than it is smooth, so drinking this one neat is a little rough.
One of the best Aged Rums for the price. Full of flavor. Wonderful to add to any tiki cocktail. A beautiful bouquet of mashed bananas, vanilla, and caramel. Hogo on the pallette. Perfect for sharing neat or shaking, you can't go wrong with this one.

This is my go-to dark rum, rivaled in terms of quality-for-value only by Haiti's Rhum Barbancourt Five-Star. Plantation 5-Year Barbados rum is a fine Bajan offering from the house of Cognac Ferrand. The rum is aged for three to four years in bourbon casks in Barbados and is then shipped to France for a period of one to two years' additional aging in casks that previously held Pierre Ferrand cognac. I don't know of any other spirits producer who goes to this amount of time and effort to produce a rum that is available at a price point of roughly $22.99 per bottle.
The nose offers hints of vanilla and caramel. The taste on the palate is smooth, but, full of molasses flavor. This is probably the best value available in a quality dark rum, this spirit excels in cocktails and makes a fantastic "Dark 'n Stormy."
