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."

Lite väl söt men väldigt god smak för priset. Banan/vanilj

I bought this room once on vacation out of desperation. However I was not terribly disappointed. Not a bad rum for the price.

Light golden, sweet, caramel rum with some vanilla and banana aroma. Goes down easily. I have a soft spot for barbados rum.

A nice sipping rum and also a nice mixer even though a bit too mild for tiki drinks but for a daiquiri it´s good. Mild, sweet, vanilla...and smooth.

Duft: Sødme, peber-alkohol, frugt.
Smag: peber-alkohol, sødme, fad, frugt.
Point: 6 (en meget ung rum, men 5-10 år mere i tønden, ville
gøre den godt)

I have never tried any rums from Plantation before, but boy am I glad I gave it a go! This tastes like how I expect standard rum to taste. It has the hints of sweetness, but not overpowering. It's very smooth. Warms the belly. I could honestly drink this neat. My go to drink however is just plain old rum and diet coke, and I can say this, it performed fantastically in that category as well. I would recommend drinking it neat though. Something about how this rum is so smooth, yet let's you know you're drinking is good for me. I like my drinks to be a little strong, and this is great for that!
