Je to taky mensi brat plantation 20th universary, ktory je vsak ale asi 2 krat taky drahy. Za mna asi najlepsi rum v cenovej hladine cca 20 eur, naozaj neuveritelna chut za tie peniaze, velmi jemny, nie presladeny a s vyraznou chutou kokosu. Zamna velmi odporucam :)

Barbadian rum is Jamaican rum's more straight-edged sibling, and Plantation 5-year excels at that. It doesn't try to do anything especially wild or unique, but it does what it does well. Great for when you want a rum that won't drown you in funk or molasses flavoring, but still actually tastes like a rum. It's not particularly exciting as a sipper, but it does that well enough too.

I'm not big fan of Plantation brand, but this rum isn't bad. Aroma is sweet like baked cinnamon roll or something simillar baked. In taste is for me too much alcohol, but maybe that makes warm feeling after first sip. Not perfect, but definitelly not bad.

Za mě naprosto skvělý rum v poměru cena/výkon. Svěží ovocná vůně i chuť. Na své "stáří", nebo spíše mládí překvapivě neštípe. Vždy udržuji více lahví, protože se jedná o ideální rum na běžné popíjení. Rum ničím neurazí, naopak v této cenové kategorii nabízí skvělou chuť a vůni dospělého rumu. Naprosto skvělý do míchaných drinků, ale zcela jistě i samostatně, nebo na ledu. Kandidát na horké letní dny.

Nose - vanilla. One dimensional smell.
Tastes of vanilla, raisins and a bit of honey. Nice lasting finish. I was expecting it to be harsh for 5 year rum. but its not. For its price a very good option.

Really easy drinking whether neat or on the rocks. The flavor also lends extremely well to hot buttered rum. It has notes of raisins, dried fruits, and caramel. One I would definitely always keep on hand.

Good price and good rum. It may not be the most complex but for the price it's smooth and tasty.

A very good rum for the price. As a sipper it's a bit hot for my palate. Sweet upfront with vanilla and sugar but it dries out in the finish and is not too sweet by any means. Not as complex as I'd have imagined. I think this would be fine as a mixer. At less then a $20 bill it's a good rum and could be served over ice with a twist of lime as well. A really good all purpose rum!
Revised May 2019 - I've been using this a lot lately as one of my rums to blend in tiki cocktails and other mixed drinks. I'm raising my rating on this to a 7 from my initial 6 as this rum is excellent when blending with other rums and for use in a wide variety of cocktails. Solid product with not too much dosage added. A fine mixing rum that has many uses!
