How does this rum taste?
Most reviewers love the smooth, sweet flavor of Plantation Barbados 5 Years. Vanilla and coconut show up in almost every glass, with caramel and light oak rounding things out. Some sip it straight, noting its gentle, easygoing personality, while many mix it into cocktails for an instant upgrade. It’s one buyers go back to thanks to its friendly price and crowd-pleasing taste—worth having on hand for both sipping and mixing.

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....
