Plantation Barbados Grande Reserve

I have got two bottles as a gift and finally tried it. Plantation website says it is aged ~2 years at Barbados and ~1 year in Europe. It is young rum and it is obvious here..smell is good and strong, taste is quite thin, not complex, with a quite strong aftertaste. Sweetnes is well balanced but overall I dont like it straight. In mixed drinks, it is okay

Clean and balanced, like a Bajan rum should be. A bit on the young side, but most Bajan rum isn't all that old - 5 years is about where it's at, and if it gets to 12 years, it's positively ancient. Recommend for cocktails, though I've had it neat, and it was enjoyable enough.

Dette er den perfekte rom å blande med pepsi max / cola.
Husk å kjøp to når du første er i butikken, det er jo alltid hygglig å by på en god drink.

Well, this rum is nothing superior. But also, it doesn't make itself something, it isn't. And yet, it becomes great rum. And great friend. It have very very smooth taste with little sweetness, very simple but understanding palate of taste, rather light and fruity and very pleasant spring smell. And that makes it excellent relaxing sipper. Kick-less, friendly, familiar, soothing. At room temperature diluted with small drip of water, it could accompany you for hours, leaving you relaxed. My favourite blend but soothing sipper. As sipper for common relaxing occasions - excellent. As complex rum for tasting and deep enjoying - hardly no. AS mixer - any drink kill it's perks, especially Cola. So no. take a word from my review and turn another cheek for this friendly fellow.

The Grande Reserve has a gentle sweet taste. I can taste a distant hint of vanilla. In contrast to the XO 20th Anniversary this one definitely has a bit of spicy alcoholic taste. But in my opinion it still is a very balanced rum and I don't only like it for mixing but also value it's qualities as a sipper.

En fil helt alm god rom fra Barbados som ikke går over i historien men heller ikke koster så meget.

Comfortably one of my favourite rums consumed in the last year. Simply sip with a single piece of ice. Not too sweet, honeysuckle notes and vanilla toffee apple. Well recommended and extremely good value for money and the bottle looks great. About to order another bottle later as I'm about to finish this one.

Mycket bra som avec. Dock har Plantation flera som är mycket bättre än den här. Men då den ingår i Systemets bassortiment och dessutom till ett löjligt bra pris så får den extra poäng:-)!

Very tasty and soft rum. Nice bottle and colour. I really enjoyed this one

Great rum from Plantation. The favourites are from Barbados.
