Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Not mine at all, tastes somehow sharp and clumsy. Nah, unfortunately not a pleasant rum, but only mediocre.
Review by John Coffey
Peu de longueur.. Pas mal de peps en bouche
Review by Justin Baker
By the just under 50% is this rum he loses a lot of flavor in my opinion. According to packaging, it should taste fruity with light coconut shares, unfortunately, I can not confirm this, because the sharpness predominates due to the alcohol content. In the finish, although a slight honey sweetness comes about which also lasts a little but I will not buy him again.
Review by Morgan Garet
Nez agréable après ouverture, fruits tropicaux caramélisés mêlés aux solvants. Puis le côté pâtissier prend de l'ampleur après quelques minutes. En bouche c'est très rond sur le chocolat les agrumes. C'est gourmand avec une touche de réglisse et quelques épices type muscade et cannelle. La finale est assez courte malheureusement. Agréablement surpris par ce jus.
Review by Léo Delek
J'affectionne pas forcement bcp la marque mais celui ci m'a surpris. Tres agreable avec un nez tres fruité avec quelques notes de solvants. En bouche je retrouve la fraise tagada, le fruit de la passion un peu chimique (type bonbon glace). Une belle longeur
Review by Werner10
This is the first Australian rum i tried and i must say that i like this one a lot. Fruity and a bit of a cognac style rum. Finish could have been a bit longer though. This one is going on my wishlist 😋
Review by Julien Ries
Le Plantation Australia surprend par un nez de colle à bois très prononcé, puis une purée de fruits exotiques mûrs, presque pourris, qui évoquent tout de suite ce qu'on peut connaître chez un rhum jamaïquain. Il y a un côté funky chez ce rhum vieilli 13 ans dans le Queensland en fût de Bourbon, puis un an en France en fût de cognac. On ressent tout de suite des kangourous qui font des bonds dans les narines sur ces marqueurs de bonbon Arlequin. Au palais, c'est plutôt le côté langoureux et gourmand du kangourou, avec une sucrosité bien présente (bien qu'il n'y ait aucun sucre ajouté) et un goût de flan à la vanille avec quelques fruits légèrement acide (pêche, abricot). C'est rond et désarmant. Le final reste bien sur un boisé délicat et quelques notes de fruits à coque.

Review by Lukas Jäger
Überraschend anders für einen Australier. Anfangs sehr mild und warm, mit Vanille und Karamell fast spanisch in der Nase, kommt er am Gaumen erstaunlich kraftvoll und herb daher. Keine Champions League, aber wer das bei einem Plantation aus Australien sucht, ist wohl auch auf der falschen Fährte. Guter Preis für gute Qualität, kann man durchaus mal zwischenrein trinken.
Review by Valentin M
Un Beenleigh d’une grande douceur, embouteillé au bon degré. Le côté floral/rose est accompagné de fruits exotiques et d’agrumes cuits. Bonne finale mais manque peut-être d’un peu de longueur.
Review by ordogh
Sweet and round rum with tropical fruits, caramel and spices, but without a real character.
Review by gabrielRhum
The cognac taste is too strong for me.
Review by reina
Nose starts with a fruity and vanilla note, but also sharp-edged. The taste is very different. Cutting, rather spicy, a bit salty like Japanese sake. The fruity notes which others discovered don‘t come to my mouth at all. But some wooden cask on the second sip. The finish is also spicy and warm. Interesting experience but not in the upper half of my Plantation Rums though.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very round Australian and finally times again what without dosage and X finishes of Plantation. I like very well and shows in a beginner-friendly way how exciting Australia can be. very floral, fruity after stone fruit and some cocoa and cinnamon. in the finish minimally woody, toasty and drying what will be due to the cognac finish. would be nice if Plantation continues at this level!
