Plantation 2002 Barbados

But it stuck with me!
Very nice one from Plantation.
I plan to pick up a bottle so I can try it in some different settings. Solid.

It bites a bit, which is totally understandable at 43,2% alc, but I can't say it's not tasty or doesn't have a character. Sweet and nose is strong, afterburn is long-ish, I'd call it Plantation XO's rougher elder brother. Definitely a sipper, no doubts. 74/100, can't say it's disappointment. Would buy again.

Průměrný rum za nadprůměrnou cenu. Doposud asi nejhorší rum značky Plantation, který jsem ochutnal.

My first disappointment with a Plantation rum. It’s just too thin, too sweet and too rough around the edges. It has some spice. Might make a good mixer. Easily consumable “in a bind”. Yes, that is a 5 alright.

Nice flavor of vanilla and caramel but the after burn is quite strong.

Received as a gift. Nose is somewhat light with a slight astringency. Color is a lighter amber. Upon tasting, it is somewhat less complex than the 20th Anniversary, but sweeter. Fairly smooth with a slight afterburn. It's good, but not worth the price. I'll stick with the 20th Anniversary.

This is a great $30 bottle of rum, not $60. It doesn’t really taste like a 15 year aged rum. It’s a bit harsh up front, thin on the mouth and the finish, with strong notes of vanilla and wood. Solid rum, just not exciting

5.5 on my scale. Was okay. Had a bit higher hopes for it given the age (12 in Barbados and 3 in Spain). Straight had a little vanilla flavor. Mixed nothing really called out.

Nice rum with tones of caramel en chocolate. Smell is also nice.
