Plantation 2002 Jamaica

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.

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

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.

A strong rum, i like the stinginess and depth this rum had. But the taste overall is too harsh for me. Maybe some ice would soften it.

This rum has a nice fresh fruity odour. However the aftertaste is a bit bitter. Not great.

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

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

Bon rhum, plus puissant que le plantation du Nicaragua 2004 que j'ai bu dernièrement. Avec des notes de banane et de pêche.

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

Tasted only once, will revisit this review shortly.
