Seeing as the Plantation 20th Anniversary XO is one of my favourite rums, I thought I would try the much cheaper 5 year old, if for no other reason to compare and contrast. Wow, what a let down in comparison! That’s because this 5 year old is disgusting. It’s so inferior to the XO that I’m genuinely shocked that these two completely different rums are produced by the same distillery! On the palate this 5 year rum old has plenty of sweetness to it, but no real distinguishing flavour to speak of, so it just comes across as rather bland. Then you’ve got the fact that the alcohol burn is too harsh, making this very unpleasant to stomach. Then, on top of all that, if things weren’t already bad enough, in the finish this rum possesses a horrid taste. Full disclosure, I’m struggling how best to describe said taste, but think of spiced apple and you won’t be a million miles away from the truth.
First of all its clear strong brown color calls for drinking. And taste is not dissapointing at all. It is best with ice cold rocks but and mixture hides taste. Smooth and tasty. Little bit too sweet for more than a couple of glasses.
Stand up very well mixed. Not very expensive and great value overall.
Plantation has a variety of offerings. This is an easy drinking, smooth inexpensive (at least for now) rom
Very solid. Total rum beginner, only my second purchase. Good on its own or with coke.

At first, I was surprised by the sweetness and coconut, which is rather prominent. But once I came to expect it, I truly enjoyed this as a smooth sipper. Just be ready for that coconut.
