    Most reviewers love its smooth sweetness and notes of vanilla and coconut, making it a crowd-pleaser for both sipping and cocktails. There's a gentle lightness with hints of caramel and a touch of oak, which fans say works well neat, over ice, or mixed—especially in tropical drinks. Its consistent value and approachable flavor profile make it a popular pick for newcomers and seasoned drinkers alike.

     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....
