WITHOUT ICE:
NOSE
Salty sea breeze with some leather. Interesting for this color of rum. But also very fruity, some candied fruit and orange peel at the beginning, but as the glass stays a little bit on the air I find near leather and orange also some vanilla and banana notes.
PALATE
Mm mm… sweet caramel molasses in combination with light woods aromas and candied fruit. Perfect!
Plantation Grande Réserve belongs to the “entry” rums but still it offers combinations of two worlds. Tropical notes from Barbados like pineapple in combination with “French” wood and leather notes from Cognac region making it a very sipping rum that surprises our palate.
FINISH
Long after the glass is empty you can feel the presence of it. Light and sweet fruity notes of orange and coconut. For this price range a quite big surprise.
Now, as we always do, we will try our flight on the lower temperatures. How sweet aromas from Plantation interacts with ice.
WITH ICE
NOSE
On the nose there is a lack of aroma when we compare it with the neat version, but still it offers some fresh fruit notes and somewhere there is smokiness in the glass.
PALATE
Unlike the lack of aromas on the nose, the flavors on the palate are persistent, and they reveal some hidden flavors like pepper at the end. Quite unexpected and it still keeps his “sipping“ adjective, even the dilution after some time dilutes also the flavors, so maybe after 10 minutes on ice it loses most of its aromas and notes.
FINISH
Same like in the neat version. Sweet, fruity and coconut, but with some spicy ending. Something between black pepper and chilly.
My favorite mark of rum good quality for good price.,.......................................................................
I discover the rum's world with this one!
I still take it time to time, even if the 5years Barbados replace it.
The price is very good for this to start, the taste is very nice.
I use it more for cocktail than sipping, but it is very good!
un rom destul de dulce, fructe tropicale in special ananas ,dar si strugure, iarba, paie, vanilie , caramel. aromele sunt deschise, luminoase , joviale cum ii e si culoarea.
alcoolul foarte bine inegrat ca la majoritatea romurilor Plantation

a rather sweet rum, tropical fruits especially pineapple, but also grapes, grass, straw, vanilla, caramel. the aromas are open, bright, jovial as is the color.
the alcohol is very well integrated as with most Plantation rums
If I was going to pick a good plantation it wouldnt be this one. It smells a bit like acetone and is not as smooth as Im used to. A bit of an apple cider lingering flavour. Theres better plantation blends such as anything from the Guatemala region.
Pale gold, fruity, hint of spice, burnt caramel, toffee. It's a decent easy drinking rum, but nothing to make it stand out
Jemně vanilkový, s náznakem dubového dřeva, s jemně neučesaným zakončením. Lehce nasládlý. Za rozumnou cenu velmi dobrý rum vhodný na celovečerní usrkávání.
Pekná fľaša tohto rumu a cena ma presvedčili na kúpu. Rum je bledý a má peknú vôňu. Po ochutnaní je cítiť ostrejší alkoholový nástup. Je to taký priemer.
Another smooth amber rum with a cool bottle. Great served straight on ice.
Low-tier priced Barbadosian-French rum they say with cognac/bourbon finish. Ain't having so developed palate yet but it seems believable from the taste. A little bit boring as expected but very cheap and yet drinkable, makes me wanna explore more matured "Plantation" rums. The bottle is okay, nothing really fancy, basically very "spartan" style bottle would be fine for its price tag but I guess image-wise it must fit the more expensive lineup. The rum was better than similarly priced Diplomatico, Botran, (not to mention very bad) Flor de Caňa young / basic rums, just to compare with other commercially successful rum brands with worldwide coverage. 6.5/10 but since I prefer originality and charisma over product price I am giving a decent 6.
Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

It´s fine sweet daily rum. Taste is little thin and short but good. Color is not very dark.
