Plantation 2005 Jamaica

Price and quality considering it is fantastic if you like Jamaica rum.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt, Mocha, Turkish delight floral top notes, fresh banana, a touch of melted butter and Jamiaca funk.

Could smell this as it was delivered to the table. Hints of vanilla. Rich complex taste. Slight burn on the lips. Very nice neat.

Another winner for me from Plantation's twist on Jamaican rum. A really big nose - lots of fruit (but more fresh, only a hint of overripeness), a powerful blast of fermentation and alcohol, and something grilled - maybe like squash?

This is a flavor bomb. I very much enjoy Plantation's Xaymaca Special Dry, and this is a very complex, adult version of that. The fermented fruit, along with some pastry, leads the way on the palate, with a very long, sizzling finish that's reminiscent of a spiced fruit syrup. This is not sweet, however.

I may update as I continue the bottle, but this is certainly top shelf by my standards. Some people complain about Plantation's Jamaican rums not being "Jamaican" enough, but while this is identifiably treated to cognac casks, it's thoroughly funky.

This is the smoother version of the Plantation Xaymaca. Aroma and flavors of ripe banana and roasted pineapple. A herbal rum too.

Here are the tasting notes:
TASTING NOTES
Nose : Very complex, slightly smoky and meaty with fruity, herbal and sour notes building up. Next vanilla come forward, almost pastry-like, with cooked banana, bitter orange peel and ripe pineapple.

Palate : Dry, with a more floral and fruitier profile of rose water, soursop, pear, white grape, apricot and sugar-apple. Next some coconut milk, balsam, allspices, bread and nuts emerge.

Goldfarbenes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase einfach eine Wucht. Frisch gebackene Brötchen mit allerlei tropischen Früchten belegt. Litschi , Mangostane, Ananas, getrockneten Kokosflocken und Zitruszesten. Die Brötchen sind mit Zimt bestäubt und mit Schokolade und Vanille gefüllt. Eingepackt in einen duftenden hölzernen Hauch.
Am Gaumen weich, sanft und süss lieblich wie ein Plantation so ist. Ein funky Vanillepudding mit karamellisierten tropischen Früchten und Schokoflocken gespickt. Süsses helles Karamell und leicht geröstetes Eichenholz erweitern Raum und Zeit.
Im Abgang lang und voller Überraschungen. Zuerst Schokolade, dann Marzipan und danach soviel Früchtekuchen wie Du magst.
Ein wirklich toller Rum, nicht so extrem funky und doch mit viel Körper. Geeignet für Einsteiger in die Jamaika-Welt und Süssrum-Lover. Pur-Rum-Lover sollten sich auch ein Glass gönnen. 8+

Gold-coloured amber in the glass.
In the nose simply a blast. Freshly baked rolls with all kinds of tropical fruits. Litchi, mangosteen, pineapple, dried coconut flakes and citrus zests. The rolls are dusted with cinnamon and filled with chocolate and vanilla. Wrapped in a fragrant wooden wrap.
On the palate, soft, smooth and sweetly sweet as a plantation is. A funky vanilla pudding filled with caramelized tropical fruits and chocolate flakes. Sweet light caramel and lightly toasted oak extend space and time.
Long and full of surprises on the finish. First chocolate, then marzipan and then as much fruit cake as you like.
A really great rum, not so extremely funky and yet with lots of body. Suitable for beginners in the Jamaica world and sweet rum lovers. Pure rum lovers should also treat themselves to a glass. 8+

That rum is fresh and dry taste like pineapple and apricot i like it

without surprise, a great rhum from Plantation, roasted coffee on nose, fruited on taste

A nice sipper. Sweet fruity taste of vanilla, caramel and cinnamon. Lengthy after taste with pleasant notes of the above. Pleasant and inviting scent.

Bra men lite för söt. Tror dom tillsatt en del socker
