This one's an instant favorite! Nose has slight notes caramel, along with spices and skins of tropical fruit (pineapple and papaya come to mind.) Much of the same comes through in the mouth, with the caramel and fruit becoming more pronounced. Overall, not too sweet and taste is rather light. Is this rum anything mind-blowingly special? Nope. But it serves as an easy sipper, a great mixer, and is light on the wallet, which is really all you need sometimes!

Just sugar, so sweet that even the typical Barbados taste disappears, no complexity.

This is my go-to dark rum, rivaled in terms of quality-for-value only by Haiti's Rhum Barbancourt Five-Star. Plantation 5-Year Barbados rum is a fine Bajan offering from the house of Cognac Ferrand. The rum is aged for three to four years in bourbon casks in Barbados and is then shipped to France for a period of one to two years' additional aging in casks that previously held Pierre Ferrand cognac. I don't know of any other spirits producer who goes to this amount of time and effort to produce a rum that is available at a price point of roughly $22.99 per bottle.

The nose offers hints of vanilla and caramel. The taste on the palate is smooth, but, full of molasses flavor. This is probably the best value available in a quality dark rum, this spirit excels in cocktails and makes a fantastic "Dark 'n Stormy."

This is my second review, and this is going to have to be mixed in some cola.

En dejlig rom med dejlig smag men stadigvæk med en kant der gør den spændende. Denne her er købt som HIK Rum hos Prima beer i Hobro- DK med eget logo

This rum was a bit disappointing at first. It had a strong nose on ethanol and the first taste was somewhere between rum with an aftertaste of vodka. But after a few days the taste changed and became much more pleasant.

A lot of flavors are in every sip of this rum. I was surprised with how well blended the notes are in an inexpensive bottle. It's great for mixing and straight up. Smooth, sweet, and has a bite at the end!

Plantation Barbados 5 års, er en positiv oplevelse, lidt flad, men god smag og ok eftersmag.

Issu de l'assemblage de différents rhums de la Barbade vieillis en fûts de bourbon dans les Caraïbes, puis affinés dans de vieux fûts de chêne français au château de Bonbonnet. Son nez gourmand, typique du style de la Barbade, révèle des notes de coco grillé, de fudge et de vanille boisée.

Au niveau du prix, c'est clair que c'est imbattable pour une "bonne qualité", mais j'ai été un peu surpris par ce Plantation que j'imaginais plus rond en bouche. Il n'est certes pas mauvais, à avoir dans son bar si on aime un vieux rhum de base.

Un bon rhum, trés parfumé, bon goût de vanille, je le recommande.
