Plantation 2005 St. Lucia

Last version of this Saint Lucia Plantation with smoky notes on the nose. On the palate, it's very sweet with fruity aromas like banana and vegetable with sugar cane and floral notes that I can not identify. The finish is spicy with notes of dried fruit and oak also very present. Nice one.

Great rum for an affordable price.
A bit of leather, liquorice in the nose. In the mouth a warm caramel and a bit to sweet.

Wow. After tasting this, many other popular brands taste like artificial blends. This is true craftsmanship. Plantation really elevate the game.

A rather atypical flavour that is a bit too smokey or perhaps even whisky-like for my taste. Sweet, fruity, banana nose. And a saffrane note that lingers which I did like.

I purchased this because for the most part I have enjoyed Plantation Rum selections.
Unfortunately, this one is a bottem shelver for me. It is extremely bitter and for almost 12 years of aging; it doesn't show.
I think I will stick with the XO

Rumy Plantation mám rád, ale Svatá Lucie je zklamání. Velmi podprůměrný rum.

Vraiment trop floral descend moin bien que les autres plantations.

Good rum for neofites, fresh, not complicated, with a good sweet fruit final.
For his price is really good.

Bon goût pour le prix. Assez léger avec des notes de melon au miel.

The Grand Terroirs has an oak smell, it taste like alcohol and is harsh. Not a great rum for me who likes the sweetness.
