How does this rum taste?
Plantation Black Cask Barbados & Guatemala is a rum crafted from molasses and distilled using pot and column stills. This rum, bottled by Maison Ferrand, features an aromatic profile led by vanilla and dried fruits like prunes and apricots, with tropical fruits lingering in the background. On the palate, its sweetness is prominent alongside notes of grapefruit, smoky tobacco, and passion fruit. Consumer reviews suggest a blend of fruity and smoky flavors, though there's a divided opinion on the sweetness level, with some noting a vinegary finish. While praised for its complexity and unique profile, its sweet and smoky combination has met with varied reception, making it somewhat inconsistent for some rum enthusiasts.

Lots of fruit on the nose, paired with syrup/honey and something baked. Rather thin in the mouth, if then sweet, fruity, roasted. In the finish you can taste smoky notes in the form of tobacco, whereby the combination with sweet sugar is unusual. Conclusion: OK as a rum, but rather weak.
What a rough thing, besides the alcohol just sugar in the nose. Really not like a rum at all. A hint of thin sweet rum on the palate that is really unexciting. But in the end there is a metallic sensation of sucking on a penny. Rough...
A little too sweet. Otherwise I like the beautiful fruity and complex taste
Der Geruch erinnert stark an Reinigungsmittel mit Nagellackentferner. Geschmacklich ist er recht dünn. Der dominierende Geschmack ist vor allem zuckersüß. Durch den Reinigungsmittel Geruch in Kombination schmeckt es ein wenig säuerlich süß, ähnlich zu sehr reifer passionsfrucht.
