Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala & Belize

This is the new version of the Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala available since 2015. Matured in casks for 3 years in Guatemala, and finished in ex-cognac caks in France. Vanilla is very present with almond, marzipan and honey. Well balanced with cocoa, woody vanilla notes. Elegant finish.

Směs rumů, které zrají nejdříve ve své domovině a pak dozrávají v sudech po koňaku ve Francii.
Alkohol: 42 %
Původ: Guatemala a Belize
Aroma: Med, rumové pralinky, staré dřevo, trocha laku. Sladší kořenitost, taky něco málo kokosu, vanilka. Taková klasická rumová vůně. (86 b)
Chuť: V prvním dojmu mě překvapil výraznou sladkostí. Dřevo, čokoláda, med, sladké koření, z něj je tu vanilka nejvíc patrná. (90 b)
Body: 88
Shrnutí: Ochutnal jsem díky českolipskému podniku Kavárna/bar Kocour, kde mají velmi pěknou nabídku rumů. Veskrze příjemná záležitost, hlavně v chuti mě oslovil a určitě časem pořídím celou lahev.

very long and warm finish, fantastic blend, a hint of cherry, vanilla, and sweet spices, a touch of honey, love this rum. One might get the impression of drinking a blend of rum and cognac, it has the sweetness of rum but flavours more typical of a well aged brandy.

The other bottle from the Plantation range for around 20€. Again too sweet, not very complex. I'm not against adding sugar to rum in general. But if the sugar overlays simply everything and the whole product come around like sirup with alcohol, it is wrong.

This far, this rum is simply the BEST! At it's price point, presentation, color, nose, smoothness... It stands as a legitimate contender as among the best money can buy! This is a pure sipping rum that you should not dare water down. Maybe one ice cube just for temperature sake (I like my spirits on the cooler side). Creamy, vanilla, honey, nuts, fruit, it is all there. And just epic smooth!

Lässt sich gut trinken, eine angenehme Geschmacksmischung

Pour un rapport Qualité prix. Sans aucun doute un plus pour votre dégustation.

Continuing the tradition of Cognac Ferrand, this is one of the best choices in rum. Very fine and rich taste, long finish and beautiful flavors.

Superbe RQP! Boisé, toasté, épicé, fruité, presque floral...

I was expecting regular Guatemala (no Belize), but it seems to be discontinued. This one is less sweet than others in my cabinet, but I like it. I guess it may have some aging potential.
