Plantation Barbados 5-Year

Fruity flavours, pineapple was predominant and really smooth.

I prefer this served chilled. Excellent sipping rum, fruity taste.

I have to admit that I'm not much of a sipper, but this rum is very nice in a rum old-fashioned with demerara syrup, water, orange bitters and a muddle orange. Just hot enough and beautiful vanilla notes that really merge well with the orange bitters and muddle fruit. Not easy to find here in northern New Jersey, but I do keep an eye out.

Pekná svojská fľaša s tradičným uzlovaným opletom, pravý korok v hrdle, farba svetlá, s oranžovým nádychom. Vôňa je svieža a príjemná, v pozadí zľahka cítiť citrusy. Chuťovo síce dosť sladký, no stále decentný rum. V tele cítiť viacero tónov, žiadny príliš nevyčnieva, z každého rožku trošku. Pri doznievaní zachytávam med, vanilku, trocha škorice, záver je jemný a príjemný, o stupeň lepší ako pri Grande Reserve. Za cenu tesne nad 20€ ponúka tento typ nečakane veľa muziky. Toto je asi najlepší vstupný rum do sveta Plantation, na bežný deň rozhodne jeden z najvhodnejších rumov na trhu, určite by nemal chýbať v domácom bare. Palec hore.

A good aged rum. As good as nearly all Plantation offerings I’ve had.

Good strong rum. Not a favourite of mine. Strong alcohol flavour, less spices

Plantation Barbados 5 can keep your guns blazing while you head to the Rum Dump for more big gun ammo. I'll still pour this Plant offering on the rocks. It's saved me on more than one vacation when Bobo has no 20 for the Big KINhuna.
