Plantation 2003 St. Lucia

I'm not sure what to think about this one. I don't love it but don't hate it either.

I love the St. Lucia rums from Plantation, they are always interesting, with some smoke, seaspray, soot, wood shavings, honey, caramel and pepper. Solid dram.

Напомнил мне фиджийский бочковой ром от The Rum Cask, столь же извращённый, но притягательный запах солёного сала с чесноком доминирует в аромате, а вот во вкусе - сладость, опять же с привкусом солёного сала, масла - прекрасно по-моему. 9/10

Ikke en rom for mig, meget røget, og smager generelt meget af whisky. Dog en lang behagelig eftersmag. Men ikke en rom jeg vil købe igen.

Endnu en rom jeg gerne vil have i min samling der hjemme.

N- Bourbon-ish cinnamon, plum and mixed spices, hints of cut-grass and white oak, perhaps some charred notes with honey arriving late, and roasted local buttered coffee bean (kopi-o) and creamy milky chocolate at the tails, may be some almonds too. Gentle and pleasant. (21/25)

P- Medium body that sit well on palate, sour fruits, sour honey and sweet candy. Smokes charred notes whispering. A dose too heavy on off tone white oak with scents of paper on retro-breath dented the otherwise nice flavours. (18/25)

F- Medium, smooth with fine sweetness that sits, dash of szechuan pepper coating that numbs the tongue with pleasant minty feels, soothing. (20/25)

Balanced - (18/25)

Rigtig god rom minder om Caroni 15 i en meget mild udgave

Stabil god rom. Kan lidt af alt... en stabil rom til prisen.

un rhum qui sort des sentiers battus, assez puissant, presque fumé

The taste of Cardemone, a spice commonly found in tea, mixed with banana give an awfull after taste. I call that rum the buzz killer. Anytime I'm thirsty or I have a guest who drink my favorite rhum like it was an orange juice I just offer a single glass and he usually switch to a beer or just a coffee and go.
