It is a smooth rum, wel balanced and a bit dry, but i don't like how the alcohol comes out in the aftertaste.
Plantation has done it again and with an affordable price tag to match. Can be enjoyed neat or mixed with your favorite beverage. Nice balance of sweetness due to the aging in bourbon barrels followed by the additional resting in cognac casks in France.
When I first tried it neat, it was a bit harsh. On the rocks however, all the flavors really came out and tastes rather fruity. I liked it with a squeeze of lime to complement the sweetness. Also good with coke but definitely worth it as a sipper. Will buy again!
Slightly sweet, especially coming out of Barbados, but that's the fun with the cognac process that makes Plantation. Decent for sipping, especially on ice. Tried it in a daiquiri but came out too sweet, even at 6-4-1. Is one of my go-to runs when buying as a gift.
This is my standard rum for smoking cigars. Great flavors that always complement the tobacco. The price is perfect since I go through it so fast!
After reading several reviews I finally managed to get a bottle, £28 delivered,Drinkshop.com.
Price will no longer be a guide when choosing a new rum. At the price I would imagine that this is very near unbeatable. I've certainly paid a lot more for rums that are not a patch on this golden brew.
Great on the nose, a proper "rummy" smell, very smooth on the tongue with a pleasant burn and a lingering after taste.
This will certainly gain a place on my shelf for many years to come.
Enjoy,
Graham.

This is a really smooth sipping Rum.
When you crack the bottle you definitely smell and can taste that it was aged in bourbon barrels. I'm glad i took the chance. No need to mix this on the rocks is great.. no burn at all. Enjoy.... I did!
Months later I’m back into this bottle and although I have a lot more tasting under my belt my rating is unchanged. I love the tobacco notes and molasses. Still an 8 in my book.
Een plantationneke staat garant voor kwaliteit. Geurt fruitig, maar komt heerlijk zoet binnen! Hints van chocolade en caramel met fruitige toetsen! De kruidige nasmaak doet niets af aan het totaalplaatje. Topper!
Obrázek staršího balení s nápisem "Grande Reserve" použitý momentálně v záhlaví je velmi zavádějící a svádí k záměně s https://www.rumratings.com/brands/3735-plantation-barbados-grande-reserve.3735-plantation-barbados-grande-reserve. Je tedy celkem pravděpodobné (a místy zcela zjevné), že řada hodnocení zde se ve skutečnosti týká právě jeho, nikoli 5-Year, což se ostatně původně na poprvé podařilo i mně.
Nově balení je podstatně srozumitelnější - a vskutku: jde po všech stránkách o úplně jiný destilát. Pokud očekáváte nějaké vylepšené "Grande Reserve", budete zklamáni stejně jako jsem byl zklamán já. Vylepšené "Grande Reserve" je Plantation XO. Tohle je spíš něco jako vylepšený Original Dark. Nicméně ten si znova určitě pořídím (stejně jako Grande Reserve), zatímco tohle zcela určitě už víckrát ne.
Přesto nejde o úplně nezajímavou kořalku. Zejména s ohledem na deklarovaný původ z Barbadosu je v chuti velmi neobvykle ovocná, zcela nepodobná jakémukoli rumu z tohoto ostrova, jaký jsem kdy pil. Osobně mě ale (na rozdíl třeba od ovocností podobného Plantation Guatemala & Belize) příliš nezaujal, ale ani neurazil. Nicméně od Ferrandů jsem se naučil čekat jaksi víc než jen neurážlivost...

Great for the money, good taste, definitely not sweet but also not dry like bourbon and no taste of dry alcohol. Spicy, kind of dark flavor going close to cognac as well
