    How does this rum taste?

    Fragrant banana and tropical fruit aroma
    Elegant and complex flavor profile
    Woody undertones add depth

    The Plantation Jamaica Single Cask MMW is a limited release Jamaican rum distilled at Clarendon distillery and bottled by Maison Ferrand. Distilled in 1999 from molasses using a pot still, it aged for 20 years. It offers aromatic notes of banana and tropical fruit married with caramel and malt. The flavor profile includes a harmonious blend of banana, pineapple, caramel, and light malt. While some users appreciate its fruity elegance and woody undertones, others find the 46.7% ABV lacking in intensity. Overall, it presents a rich yet approachable drinking experience with a touch of sophistication.

     From my point of view, Plantation has (once again) lacked the courage to land a sure hit. The initial situation was fantastic a 17 years tropically matured MMW of beautiful balance. I also understand the idea with the finish. It makes the rum more elegant, enhances the continental fruit basket of the nose, the spicy whiskey notes give a nice baked apple with garam masala. But then the dilution spoils almost everything. Even the nose is rather light. The play of fruit and spice works in the mouth as well, but there's a lack of depth here to bring out the flavors. Too bad.
