„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.“

„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.“

„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.“

„Great value. Not too sweet, vanilla, fruity. Finish is a bit too short imo.“

„Very pleasing nose without major outliers in any direction. Fruity, some toffee, young wood.Very sweet on the palate and partly already honeyed. Actually too much, but it works here. Slightly alcoholic finish, but above all quite fresh fruit basket.Fullest recommendation for a cozy introduction to's topic rum in general. This Pulle shaves 80% of the supermarket shelf.Addendum - comparison to the Grande Réserve: very different, even if both are often confused (even by dealers). The 5 is much rounder, riper in fruit notes and woodier. The strong sweetness is much better integrated and rounder here.“

„Opravdu příjemné překvapení. Chutově mi přijde podobný verzi XO, ale verze XO je ještě o něco lepší. Ale za poloviční cenu je to pecka. Když ve stejné cenové kategorii srovnám s verzemi Grande Reserve a Isle of Fiji, tak tohle je o pořadný kus lepší. Není přeslazený a v chuti kokos, vanilka s trochou čokolády a ovoce.“
