Plantation 2004 Panama

Yet another fine rum from plantation. Buttercaramel and vanilla taste, vanillafudge for the nose. Panama rums are a favorite for me.

Purchased a bottle on www.masterofmalt.com for £40 Had tried others from the plantation range: the pineapple, the 5 year old and the XO 20th anniversary which I have reviewed previously.

This is a good sipping rum but would work equally well in cocktails. Nose is reminiscent of the carribean with exotic fruit, oaky cognac and a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate there is brandy, and dried fruit possibly prune maybe raisin, a subtle touch of sweet pineapple comes through.

Pretty aged rum by now. Double aged. First 9 years on bourbon barrels in Panama, after that another 24 months in France. Bottled in 2015, so meanwhile already 7 years in bottle. Not a bad sipping rum, relatively sweet with a dryer after taste.

Enjoyed it very much, despite the sweetness typical to Plantation rums. I can recommend the spirit with a clear consience!

Yet again another great rum by the Plantation rums. If you're into spicy rums this won't let you down. Not too sweet either. Instant favorite. A clear 8.

A very nice rum, aged in cognac barlis. First shot is really sharp, but after that it becomes smooth and you recognize the difference tastes on the palet (I've got vanilla, butterscotch and chocolate).

This has some real body, depth and character. Nice balance too with a tiny bit of bite. Honey, brown sugar and some oak. Too sweet for my taste but the quality is very apparent.

My second most favorite plantation. Nice aroma of banana, vanilla and sugar cane. In taste you can find flavours of vanilla, caramel, honey and fruit. Rum is very smooth with bourbon ending.

Voňavý, nasládlý , velké překvapení, prostě Panama
