    How does this rum taste?

    The Plantation Duvel #5 Beer Finish, a Jamaican rum from Clarendon distillery, was crafted by independent bottler Maison Ferrand. Distilled in 2013 from molasses and aged for 7 years, it features a pot still process and comes with an ABV of 43.1%. Users noted a nose of orange peel, banana, and classic Jamaican esters. The palate reveals malt, tropical fruit, and a bitterness reflective of the unique beer finish. While the aroma intrigues rum enthusiasts, the flavor profile appears too diluted for some, diverging from typical Jamaican boldness. This rum may appeal to those interested in beer-infused rums, particularly beer fans familiar with Duvel influences.

    I actually find the nose quite interesting. Unfortunately, the taste can not keep up at all. Much too diluted and then also much too bitter. Has not pleased me particularly well

    26.02.2022 Enjoying some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Faint wood, dried fruit, malty, fruits, vanilla, light floral. Palate Light wood, malty, fruits, light floral, faint chocolate, raisin. Finish Short to medium, light wood, malty, dried fruit, light chocolate.

    Better than Trinidad bottling with Duvel finish. Here, too, I perceive the beer in the taste and finish, but perhaps only because I know Duvel.sugar 0 g/l

    Relatively meaningless. Due to the dilution, you can barely make out the base product. If you know it, you smell and taste something the beer barrel finish
