Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala

until 2015 you could buy this kind of stuff. now its over. now you have to get a bottle of guatemala & belize. the taste is very similar. if you know this, you can buy the replacement rum without hesitation. this one is not very good, but its also not very expensive. its good for a simple sip. thats it.

I liked the flavour and the colour but did not stand out much

Friendly, taste and average (which means very good) Plantation.

I like this better than both of the Appleton estate 12 & 21 yr rums, but still I find this as a middle of the road rum, not very smooth not very refined. I compared this side-by-side with flor de Cana 18 year and the 18 year was much better.

Duft af frugt, kokos & vanilje.
Smag af frugt, kokos & vanilje. Blid og med en lille smule kant.

Ikke den store favoritten men grei å drikke, ikke den store opplevelsen.

This Plantation rum has disappointed me a little bit. I had already tried other Plantation Rums and had promised me more. When I hold my nose over the glass I notice an alcoholic sharpness. This rum has a pleasant sweetness with actually quite nice vanilla and caramel notes, but they don't last very long. In the finish this rum is clearly too strong for me. Of course, it has 42% alcohol, but I had hoped for more mildness. The very pleasant taste is unfortunately quickly covered by an alcoholic sharpness. However, mixed with Cola, e.g. as Cuba Libre, it tastes quite well.

Den blev bedre og bedre for hver gang jeg smagte den, men lige lidt for sprittet til min smag.

Похоже, я всё-таки не фанат Plantation. Выдержка и довыдержка в коньячных и бурбоновых бочках, а также сложный бленд ромов разных стран, конечно, придаёт особую специфику и характер, но, при этом, напиток становится больше похож не на ром, а на какую-то экзотическую настойку. Вкус мягкий, насыщенный и благородный, чувствуется, что это качественный серьёзный напиток, но фруктово-коньячный компонент, доминирующий во вкусе и послевкусии, лично мне не заходит.

It looks like I'm not a Plantation fan after all. Ageing (basic and additional) in bourbon and cognac casks as well as complex blend of rums from various countries evidently gives a very special character to this drink, but the drink itselfs looks (tastes and smells) not like rum, but rather like some exotic liqueur. Taste is smooth, rich and noble, it is really a drink of high quality, but its fruity and cognac-like components that dominate taste and aftertaste are just not my cum of tea (rum).
