Smag: peber-alkohol, sødme, fad, frugt.
Point: 6 (en meget ung rum, men 5-10 år mere i tønden, ville
gøre den godt)

Ive been pretty harsh in some of my reviews with Plantation but the worst I can say about this bottle is that this cant be a 5 year. its so inviting on the nose and pleasant in your mouth with a warmth that lingers. It might be a bit too sweet but is a sipper to be sure. This is in the realm of some 12 - 20 year old rums Ive enjoyed. As enjoyable as its big brother XO but in a very different way. WOW for about the same price as El Dorado 12 year I'm not sure which I would say is the best value.

Not hard to be sippable when it tastes like candy.

This is really good. SWEET. Great in coke and neat.

this rum is very fresh and cirspy tasting. very good barbados rum

I love this rum. Very good over ice and frozen cherries 🍒

The color and transparency of the liquid promises a spicy and thin rum and it delivers.Taste is indeed nice and spicy and not too sweet ! Very distinct.
I personally found the aftertaste to have too much alcohol in the forefront, but it certainly is not bad.....I think a couple more years of aging or blending could temper this.
This is tolerable straight, would be a great mixer and is priced decently for what it is.

Little brother of the Plantation XO.
Sweet with hints of vanilla, caramel and coconut.
Great for sipping. Good choice for a starter.

Beginner here. Sweet and easy on the throat. Blacked out to a measuring cup of the stuff -- woke up with no hangover. That's a win in any book.

This is probably blasphemous, but trying this next to the Doorly XO and 12, I almost want to give it to this rum. Almost. Different flavor profiles. This has less fruit notes and more hints of dark butterscotch and caramel. This rum has an added dosage, and you can tell, so if you don't like the hint of added sweetness, then this may not be for you but I absolutely love this. Maybe if the added sugar was half of what it is, it would be perfect. For now, I'll leave it a very strong 8. I suspect this will be a staple on my shelf for long time. Definitely easy to sip. Also can't wait to mix with this.
