Plantation Grande Réserve
Solid, easy-drinking Barbados rum with sweet tropical notes and soft vanilla. Widely viewed as pleasant, undemanding and good value, especially for beginners or casual sipping and simple cocktails.
Nice solid rum. Im. Smell really exciting with nice coconut tones and caramel and vanilla. In the taste then also quite komex for this price. Unfortunately it is slightly burning. A little more ageing in the cask would help here. In any case, the price-performance ratio is very fair and I therefore recommend trying itRead more

Auto-translatedBetter than expected! Good value for money!
Very sweet aromas of dried fruits, marzipan and arrak. The taste does not dissapoint! Incredible round and sweet at first and then the taste of spices after a few seconds. Very pleasant taste that makes this an excellent sipping rum and one That I frequently reccomends. (Easy to find here in Sweden and at €27 it is a bargain)
Typical Barbadian in nose and palate. A very young rum so don't expect too much from it. A pleasant nose and ok semi complex fruity palate with a finish that ends almost before it begins. Price to quality is very good.
