Plantation Barbados 5-Year

For the same price as Doorly's 5y, Plantation Barbados 5y sports similar smell, but this the last positive news here. The taste is much more shallow than Doorlys, of course sweetened as is the Plantation tradition, which in case of Bajan rum which gets some natural fruity sweet notes without any additives seems kind of superfluous to me. Besides being shallow, the taste profile is also significantly less smooth than Doorly's. The taste has certain trait which I observe in Mount Gay rums (Black Barrell, XO), it is something like hoppy bitterness, like and aftertaste of a good Czech beer, but very subtle, this trait is not good nor bad, but just this kind of thing that popped up in my mind. This Plantation is not entirely bad, but Doorlys just beats it in every aspect. Add a star or two if you like sweetened rums.

I found this a little heavy on the vanilla.

Maybe a little rugged for sipping, this is an exceptional mixer. Sweet, but not too sweet.

Cinnamon and sweety aroma, sweet body, missing tail

I want to like this. It's pleasant. It obviously has additives. It's sweeter than it should be.

en super god rom til prisen. Den er rat god rom den smager super godt.

Original, spicy, not that long in aftertaste but still worst the trial

Pretty good, but also pretty sweet. Not a lot of depth but very smooth.

It is a smooth rum, wel balanced and a bit dry, but i don't like how the alcohol comes out in the aftertaste.

I found this rum to be overly sweet and syrupy when drunk neat.

It’s got a thick mouth feel, not ideal when drinking a rum.

This is best mixed and cut down with a splash of carbonated water.
