West Indies Plantation Barbados 2014

People who like a fruity, wine-cask twist on Barbados rum are the audience here. Expect apricot and cherry up front, then a red-wine finish that one taster says almost takes over the base rum, plus vanilla, coconut and a bit of leathery shoe-wax on the nose. Several call it a nice everyday pour; a couple find it too sweet-tasting despite the dry finish.

The community says
  • Apricot and cherry
  • Distinct wine finish
  • But: Reads sweet

How does West Indies Plantation Barbados 2014 taste?

Summarized by AI from 18 community reviews.

Fruity Barbados rum with a red-wine finish Well-liked as a fruity, wine-finished daily sipper — apricot, cherry and Christmas spice. A few say the red-wine cask nearly overpowers the Barbados rum underneath, and it reads a touch sweet.

A nice rum with a great wine finish. Pleasant mix of fruit and spice on the nose. On the palate, nice apricot, the finish quite soft and dry, here the wine finish is most noticeable. A bit strict at the end.

Very versatile on the nose from warm fruity sweet to leathery shoe polish-like! On the palate initially very sweet and fruity and then somehow bacon-y! An interesting rum, but clearly too sweet for me.
