Plantation Barbados 5-Year

I find this rum to be smooth, but sadly not quite as smooth as its older brother, and missing some of the flavors I can distinguish in the 20-year XO. Despite that, there's no beating the price!

Nothing special. Maybe even better to mix. I think the more advanced sets of this distiller are okay, but this one just doesn’t do the trick.

I don't like whiskey in the usual dosage, but since this rum was aged in bourbon barrels, it has a very subtle overtone of that whiskey flavor I can appreciate. I never drink rum neat, so I can't speak for that, but this one was great in last night's Mai Tai.

Zapach: Karmel, kokos, wanilia, banan, pianka marshmallow,

Smak: Słodki, lekko skórzany, maślany, mleczna czekolada

Rum ten praktycznie nie pachnie, zapach jest nielotny i mało bogaty. Kolejny fakt iż w drinku nie ma charakteru, w sumie to ten rum charakteru nie ma zupełnie. Ewidentnie jest to premium rum, wyleżakowany ale płaski total. Natomiast za plus delikatność - wiele kobiet będzie pod wrażeniem, łatwość picia oraz fakt iż nie czuć alkoholu oraz piękna prezencja.

OCENA: 71/100

Not very complex. Not overpowering. Good for a starter rum.

One of the best tasting rums for me. Nice sweet taste but not to sweet. Hint of vanilla brown sugar and baked cookies

I would say this is a mixing rum. Put in the middle for mixing

Great for a 5 year, bittersweet, fruity notes with a short medium finish. Great for use in tikis

Don't recall much about it I'm afraid, was a while ago

Simple and not very complex Rum but good value for the money. Light in color, smells of candy and tastes of candy as well but not too much. Very smooth, surprisingly smooth when you looks at the price, I had to check twice the alcohol level in it. It could have had more character and more aftertaste but It's a pleasant experience and a good first rum experience.
