Plantation Barbados Grande Reserve

Bought this by mistake thinking it was the Plantation 5 years (the labels look a lot alike).
And compared to the 5 years it falls short by a significant margin, especially as a sipper.
It is not great and not terrible and can be sipped or mixed.

Fruity taste. A bit sweet. Quite good tastw for a good price.

Smooth easy sipper. Soft up front with a short barrel finish.

Niewiele się dzieje - nieco słodki, ale i "bimbrowy", z ostrym, alkoholowym finiszem. Pewnie w cubalibre dałby radę, ale to jak każdy inny.

A gateway from whisky, offering smoothness, sweetness, and value.

A good rum that is often hard to find in many liquor stores so often not top of mind for me. It doesn't distinguish itself from other similar rated "6" rum and misses the mark as a decent sipper. Where it shines is as a mixer and then provides a good value.

This rum changed me from being a single malt whiskey drinker to a rum sipper. I got my eyes on it in the local liqueurstore and I thought to myself why not try something new and not spend a fortune on a single malt whiskey bottle.

Spicy taste with barrel character and slight sweetness, hints of sultanas, orange, almond pulp and vanilla. Mmm!

Not bad but expected more from plantation. The XO is way better!

Ako sipper je to dost fajn. Zaroven nieje tazky na zaludok, takze kludne sipper na cely vecer. Aroma je mierne alkoholova ale ked sa necha otvorit, tak sa velmi zjemni.
Chut je trochu ostrejsia ako by som podla aromi ocakaval ale to na pomale sippovanie vobec nevadi. Za tu cenu (20-25) celkom solidny kusok, nieje extra sladky ani uplne suchy. Pre mna osobne je to taka vstupna brana do menej sladkych rumov.
V chuti je citit aj sudovost a na chvoste sa mi zda ako by bola whisky.
Takych 6.5 ak zohladnim cenu tak 7 ale z fusakiel ma to nevystreli
