Plantation Black Cask Barbados & Jamaica
People who want a Plantation blend that leans drier than usual will find their bottle here. Smoky Jamaican funk on the nose, a little fruit (mango, peach, pear) tucked behind dark, woody spice. A sweet first sip flips fast into dry, oaky tobacco. The body's on the thin side, and the sweet-then-dry contrast splits drinkers right down the middle.
- Drier than typical Plantation
- Smoky Jamaican notes
- Woody spice

Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Spicy, dry-leaning blend with thin body A drier Plantation with a sharp sweet-to-woody swing. Some like the spicy contrast; others find it thin, faintly boozy, and short on its own character.

Review by Schnapsschuesse
Smoky Jamaica on the nose, Barbados remains relatively discreetly fruity behind it. Spicy and woody. Briefly quite sweet on the palate, then immediately woody and quite dry. A very strong contrast. This contrast generally runs through the entire, comparatively thin rum. Fruity with mango, peach and pear meets quite a lot of dark spice, cinnamony spiciness and very dry, woody notes. The dark barrel then comes through fully in the finish, together with a little funk. However, it tends to stick to the spice rather than overripe fruit. I like the series, but I also understand anyone who doesn't like this contrast at all.

Süßer Touch, etwas alkoholisch, etwas dünner Körper
Review by Gregor
A little sweet and too little aroma and no signature at all. There is much better from plantation
Review by Dirk E.
schöner Plantation mal nicht so süß eher in dem trockenen Bereich
Review by Thomas Lukas
Recht süß, die Jamaikanoten überwiegen.

Looking at the price tag you get what you pay for. Lightly fruity with spices and roasted wood.
