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.
Review by RumTaTa
Very interesting mild rum. The finish in the red wine cask is very pronounced and almost overwhelms the rum aromas too much. A nice everyday rum: not too demanding but sophisticated and complex.
Review by mto75
Similar gingerbread nose as the Multi Island, but overall a bit more intense.
Review by Johannes
I find this one interesting. You can taste the Barbados rum, which gets a nice mix of wine, cinnamon, cherry, and Christmas spices through the finish.
