Aroma visualization from community tastings
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

The look inside the bottle
How does West Indies Plantation Barbados 2014 taste?
Aggregated 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.

Review by RumTaTa
Sehr interessanter milder Rum. Das Finish im Rotweinfass ist sehr deutlich und überlagert die Rumaromen schon fast zu stark. Ein schöner Alltagsrum: nicht zu anstrengend aber raffiniert und komplex.
Review by Christian Rudt
Ein schöner Rum mit tollem Wein Finish. Angenehme Mischung aus Frucht und Würze in der Nase. Am Gaumen schöne Aprikose, der Abgang dann Recht weich und trocken, hier wirkt das Wein Finish am deutlichsten. Etwas streng zum Schluss.
Review by Thunderbird
In der Nase sehr vielseitig von warm fruchtig süß bis zu ledrig Schuhwachsartig! Am Gaumen zunächst sehr süß und fruchtig und dann irgendwie speckig! Ein interessanter Rum, mir aber deutlich zu süß

Review by Johannes
Den finde ich interessant. Man schmeckt den Barbados Rum, der aber durch das Finish einen guten Mix aus Wein, Zimt, Kirsche und weihnachtlichen Gewürzen erhält.
Review by mto75
ähnliche Lebkuchen-Nase wie der Multi Island, insgesamt jedoch noch ein wenig intensiver.
