Plantation 2001 Barbados

I am rapidly becoming a fan of the Plantation brand. This is the second type of Plantation rum I've purchased and it is just awesomeness in a bottle. I think I will have to pursue more of their other rums to see if those are as good. I ranked the first Plantation brand rum (Plantation XO 20th Anniversary) as a 9 as well but I look at is as a 9.95 for the XO to a 9.75 for the 2001 Barbados. Incredibly smooth, somewhat sweet with a nice vanilla undertone. Not really a burn but an enveloping warmth coating the back of the throat. A true sipping rum. I don't think I will be using this in mixed drinks or Coke Zero. If you run across a bottle of this, buy it immediately. But save for special occasions.

First time with plantation rum.
It's delicius.
You have to tast it

Sweet smooth vanilla nose, super mild taste with slight alcohol spicyness and warmth. Truly a fantastic choice.

Quite sweet and easy. Taste of dried fruit, vanilla and some smoke.

Almost without any odour but a sweet pleasent chocolate sent.
The taste is very faint with hints of nuts, caramel and smoked.
The taste doesn't linger long but begs for another sip.

Comes in a very nice bottle. The smell is not strong but sophisticated. Gives a really nice burn in your throat and then a little sweetness. I can taste some vanila, maybe a little lemon or grapefruit. For me an extra-ordinary taste. Like it a lot and if it was possible I'd give it 8.5. Definitly a should try rum especially considering the 30 euro price-tag!!

This rum embodies the essence of discernment between what is referred to in harsh terms as "heat", and what is affectionately referred to as "warmth" when talking about alcohol taste.

2001 Barbados warms the palate and throat in the best way I’ve ever experienced. It's smooth, with a dominant butterscotch note on the smell and taste, and the finish is warm and soothing. Everything else takes a back note to mostly butterscotch and vanilla notes, however, the dominant flavours don't overwhelm the palate. For extra credit, even if you've had a bit too much of it and gotten a bit tipsy, the flavour is still right there with you until the very end.

Bravo Plantation! The 2001 Barbados is top notch to me!
