Easy to sip neat but a bit of a wild mix. Expect dried apricot, prune and pineapple up front, then a late smoky, tobacco finish and a sweetness most tasters found heavier than expected. Several people also caught a sharp vinegar or solvent edge that ties into the esters. As one member put it, it doesn't quite know what it wants to be.
The community says- Dried fruit aromas
- Long smoky finish
- Keep in mind: Added sugar

The look inside the bottle
How does Plantation Black Cask Barbados & Guatemala taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, fruity-smoky, but slightly disjointed Fruity and smoky with real character, but tasters agree it's too sweet and a touch disjointed. A polarizing bottle — some find it exciting, others thin and vinegary.

A little too sweet. Otherwise I like the beautiful fruity and complex taste
Review by Franzi

The smell strongly reminds of cleaning agents with nail polish remover. Taste-wise it is quite thin. The dominant taste is mainly sugary sweet. Due to the cleaning agent smell combined, it tastes a bit sour sweet, similar to very ripe passion fruit.
Review by Tim
Lots of fruit on the nose, paired with syrup/honey and something baked. Rather thin in the mouth, if then sweet, fruity, roasted. In the finish you can taste smoky notes in the form of tobacco, whereby the combination with sweet sugar is unusual. Conclusion: OK as a rum, but rather weak.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste is sweet-spicy with hints of plums, vanilla and milk chocolate. Long-lasting smoky aftertaste.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Interesting. Initially musty and alcoholic on the nose, after a while fruits and cinnamon emerge. Also on the palate pineapple stands out, exactly as it tastes in Plantation's Stiggins Fancy.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
More exciting than the rest of the series with a nice fruity acidity but not a highlight. What bothers me is this slightly vinegar-like note in the finish.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose first a sweet / sour note... almost like highly diluted vinegar, light smoke joins it!On the palate a strong oily sweetness (added sugar?), which changes to dried apricot / plum and then ends on a smoky note!The finish also includes dried apricots!It's not mine
Review by RumTaTa
Hmm, if that was not added sugar, I eat a broom 😉
Review by Montana
Somewhat fruity with esters, glue, slightly woody. The taste is fruity, also a bit smoky and slightly sweet.
Review by Johannes
I wonder if anything was added there besides sugar!!!
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Dried apricot, banana, and overripe pineapple are upfront on the nose. With some warmth, a certain vinegar note actually comes through - but I don't find it unpleasant, it blends nicely with the ester hints. Smoke aromas are subtle here as well. Much sweeter than expected - and necessary. It works but feels out of place. Overall, this is quite a wild mix of fruit, smoke, wood, and very unusual acidic notes like grapefruit. The finish is very smoky, but only late. There's just too much going on here. Makes it exciting but unfortunately quite unbalanced. Like it doesn't know what it wants.
Review by Oli Dekrell
A bit thinner than the XO, but also tasty.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
What a rough thing, besides the alcohol just sugar in the nose. Really not like a rum at all. A hint of thin sweet rum on the palate that is really unexciting. But in the end there is a metallic sensation of sucking on a penny. Rough...
