Plantation 2002 Jamaica

Compared this to the plantation xaymaca. Very similar in taste though the xaymaca are more dry and not so sweet as it's brother Jamaica 2002. But nevertheless this is a great rum like the xaymaca. If you prefer a sweeter rum this will suit you more. But trust me, it's not to sweet. Banana and arrak for the flavours and nose.

I think this is the best plantation expression I’ve had. Perfectly balanced with a great brûlée’d vanilla like taste.

It is pretty good, but blends in with a lot of the other Plantation Rums.

Sweet and earthy. A little bit stingy, but not too much.

A classic jamaican rum, strong, full body, raw, stingy, spicy amd a little bit sweet.

Un rom special pentru cine apreciază romurile de Jamaica. Mie personal nu-mi place în mod special dar apreciez corpolența și vechimea acestuia. Probabil e mai plăcut în mix-uri.

My estimation is that both the 2001 and 2002 Jamaica from Plantation are from the Hampden distillery. Thus, they are similar. However, the 2001 has more "umph" - more funk, more flavor, more jazz, while the 2002 is more mellow, while retaining that Hampden marshmallowy flavor. It's been sweetened, same as most Plantations, but for Hampden, I feel that isn't a bad thing. The sugar makes it smoother and tames the bitter notes. The 2002 isn't going to replace the 2001 for me as a sipper, but it will serve as a more-available rum for cocktails where I want that Hampden funk.

Quite stingy, raw and straight. Spicy and a tad hot. Love the apricot!

Schönes honiggelbes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase wunderbar füllig und tief, Du steckst Sie in ein getoastetes Eichenholzfass das mit Früchten, Karamell, Vanille - Sahnebonbon und Gebäck gefüllt ist.
Im Gaumen angenehm warm und mundfüllend aber nicht so tief. Jamaika irie, ein buntes Bukett von tropischen Früchten, Vanillebrötchen, Schokolade, Gewürzen und ein Schuss Zuckerrohr Sirup.
Im Abgang scharf und pfefferig, Früchte und Karamell schwimmen auf der Süsse davon.
Ein lieblicher süsser Plantation Rum der Einsteiger in die Jamaika-Rum-Welt einführen kann und Geniesser erfreut. 7+

Beautiful honey yellow amber in the glass.
Wonderfully full and deep in the nose, you put it in a toasted oak barrel filled with fruits, caramel, vanilla -cream toffees and biscuits.
The palate is pleasantly warm and mouth-filling but not so rich. Jamaica irie, a colorful bouquet of tropical fruits, vanilla rolls, chocolate, spices and a dash of sugarcane syrup.
On the finish spicy and peppery, fruits and caramel float on the sweetness of it.
A nice, sweet plantation rum that can introduce beginners to the world of Jamaican rum and pleases gourmets. 7+

Nedosahuje kvality Trinidad a Tobago nebo Barbados a už vůbec ne 20th Anniversary, ale nabízí zajímavé chutě a pro mě je přiměřeně sladký.
