“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.”

“Not as sweet as many other Plantation. That's why it gets a few extra points.”

“Another surprising value for money Plantation. The Barbados notes (toffee, wood and a little fruity) are very clear here. A little sweeter due to added sugar, but for little money you really get a decent rum here.”

“Again, really rough. The alcohol and the weird coconut aroma. What the hell is going on here? I am sure this has fans. I am certainly not among them. This feels flavoured. I really don't be a big fan. Somebody send help....”

“6,5:The nose opens with the sweetness of coconut milk and vanilla, and a syrup of sweet spices such as tonka bean, cinnamon and nutmeg. A round, pastry-like ambience emerges with dried fruits. Aeration reveals more roasting notes and the profile becomes increasingly spicy. There's also a touch of acidity and sweetness, with a layer of milky strawberries. 6,2:On the palate, the vanilla-coconut flavors of the nose continue with some chocolate notes. The roundness of American oak is at its peak, and the rather round, sweet texture adds a little more to palate. 6:The finish is quite short, coconutty with sweet spices.”

“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.”

“Sur le batch dégusté, la sensation de coco grillée était très présente. Le tout est très rond et sucré. Pas désagréable malgré la réduction importante. Entrée de gamme pas inintéressante pour initier aux rhums de la Barbade.”

“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.”

7.9/10

“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.”

“Really unimpressed to be honest, having tried plantation other rums. Nondescript taste, very samey to many rums I’d had for 2/3 the cost. Perfectly drinkable, just bland.”
