Dnes si představíme další rum od Plantation, a to Grande Reserve 5y Barbados. V Karibiku zraje 5 let v sudech po bourbonu, pak se převezou do Francie, region Cognac, části zvané Grande Champagne, kde se již namíchané scelují ještě v sudech po koňaku Pierre Ferrand XO Grande Champagne.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Ve vůni je nejzřetelnější kůže a rumové pralinky, přesněji jejich náplň. K tomu ještě lehce kakao. Vůně je taková tenčí. (83 b)
Chuť: V chuti výrazně náplň rumových pralinek, k tomu kakao a lehce snad i káva, plus špetka muškátového oříšku. Na jazyku je tenčí, dost nasládlý. (83 b)
Body: 83
Shrnutí: Tento rum jsem ochutnal během dvou týdnů hned dvaktrát. Jednou během degustačního večera s Millem v mladoboleslavské hospodě Neuberk, podruhé jsem dostal vzorek od kamaráda.
V hospodě jsem měl body v poznánkách 84b., po přechutnání doma jsem upravil na 83, ovšem je to tak mezi. Zaokrouhlil jsem dolů kvůli tenkému tělu. Ovšem s přihlédnutím k tomu, že se jedná jen o pětiletý rum, a s cenou zhruba za 500,- Kč, si myslím, že to není vůbec špatné pití. Svým pralinkovým výrazem mi částečně připomíná i středoevropské rumy, včetně našich tuzemáků, samozřejmě k tomu výrazu přidává něco navíc. Z toho důvodu by mohl být obzvlášť vhodný pro ty, kterým třeba i tuzemák chutná, jako takový spojovací článek mezi Střední Evropou a Karibikem.

I purchased this rum after reading the reviews, expecting it to be a good deal for the money it costs.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This rum is very weak in taste, to the point that after 10 minutes in a glass with ice it feels like you drink water only with some alcohol.
Furthermore, the cognac "touch" they claim to give this rum a "special" character, is not for every one, be warned! For me personally, I found the cognac scent not to agree with the rum philosophy.

Best value rum out there, you can drink it neat or with water or ice or a squeeze of lime and you'll enjoy it. Better yet, knock down a rum and coke or your drink of choice and have one of the finest quality mixers that isn't definitively better neat you can imagine. A full flavor profile that balances alcohol and sweetness deftly, it is versatile and a great deal. Really won't beat it for a mixer.

Vanilla and toffee = sugar added to enhance the flavor. Hard to take this rum too seriously.

Very smooth, sweet and refined. Hints of coconut and vanilla. Almost sipping rum.

This is the smoothest rum I've enjoyed. It lacks complexity but is an easy drinker.

This was my introduction to Plantation. Going into it I had read that their rums run on the sweeter side. While this is true, I found the sweetness on this one blending quite well with the other flavors of vanilla sugar, coconut, and cinnamon. Not a ton of complexity or surprises, but a nice sipper nonetheless.

Rhum Plantation d’entrée de gamme. Sur des arômes de fruités, tropicaux et cannelle. Assez simple, bien pour le prix.
