This is a young blended rum from Barbados that does pretty OK actually. Not as sweet as many of the other Plantation rums but still sweet enough that you get it on the nose. It's a light easy to drink rum that you can sip or use in a cocktail. It does lack complexity but you can't expect that from 5 years of aging. Price to quality is good.

Another surprising value for money Plantation. The Barbados notes (toffee and fruity) are very clear here. A little sweeter due to added sugar, but for the money you can't go wrong.

Quite peppery on the nose but with big hits of oak and subtle hints of toffee, orange & coconut. The palate is sweet but not clogging. Caramel hits first followed shortly after by waves of lovely coconut before moving into honey and candied fruits. The finish is of a decent length and silky smooth with soft wood and honey notes leading into cocoa. This is a lovely rum and reasonably priced too.

Young, fresh with some fruits and even it's young it not taste as young. Plantation rums are specific, fruity, floral, light and most of them for a cheap price. This one is cheap and it's bargain. I would recommend it for everyone as fruity reference rum, enjoyable in both worlds - sipping or as a mixer.

Got it as a present from a couple of students at the end of their internship. Neat it’s too sweet for my taste, but it’s a nice starter for when there’s company. Also usable as a mixer.

Sample no.12 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Pineapple, coconut and vanilla comes through after it sita for a while along with some dried fruits. Palate is fruity and sweet, not as sharp as the younger Grand Reserva and the 5 years makes it a bit rounder and mild. Very pleasant sipper.

Nice rum

Sehr gefällige Nase ohne große Ausreißer in irgendeine Richtung. Fruchtig, etwas Toffee, junges Holz. Sehr süß im Geschmack und teils schon honigartig. Eigentlich zu viel, aber hier funktioniert's. Leicht alkoholischer Abgang, aber vor allem recht frischer Obstkorb. Vollste Empfehlung für einen gemütlichen Einstieg in's Thema Rum generell. Diese Pulle rasiert 80%+ des Supermarktregals.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
