Aroma visualization from community tastings
Plantation Saint Lucia 2010
Not what most people expect from a molasses rum — the nose leans fresh and minty, with grapefruit and orange running through it. On the palate there's flambéed banana, ripe fruit, a bit of oak, and for some tasters a slightly "dirty" rubbery edge in the finish that fans of the style enjoy. At 53.6% the alcohol can sting early, so give it time in the glass.
The community says- Fresh citrus-mint nose
- Flambéed banana
- But: Hot on the nose

Review by Serge
Verkostet gegen Plantation st. lucia 2010 LMDW / rx10566 Eigentlich geht bei mir immer die Entscheidung in Richtung des höheren ABV … aber hier schneidet der LmDW besser ab. Der The Nectar ist leider recht alkoholisch in der Nase und zwickt auch am Gaumen etwas. Dafür belohnt er am Gaumen mit einer schön dreckigen Note, die auch im Abgang bleibt. Schade, eigentlich sehr viel Potential in der dreckigen Note, aber der Alkohol riecht billig. Sonst wäre weit mehr drin. Braucht auf jeden Fall etwas Zeit im Glas und ist dann auch besser. Der LMdW ist insgesam runder, stimmiger und besser – und eher von der fruchtigeren Sorte.

Nase: naja, im Mund besser und ein schönes Profil. Bräuchte aber keine Flasche davon. Edit: hinterlässt doch recht ein dreckiges Profil mit einges an Gummi im Abgang (im positiven)
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Je n’avais jamais gouté de rhum de Sainte-Lucie et c’est vachement bon ! Le nez est très frais, avec de la menthe. Des notes fruitées d’agrumes (Orange – pamplemousse). Des épices exotiques. C’est très attrayant. L’attaque en bouche est généreuse et atypique (du moins pour moi), c’est vivifiant et parfaitement équilibré. On a de la banane flambée en explosion, de l’orange, de la menthe … J’ai franchement kiffé ce rhum et en plus celui-ci est sorti en 2019 dans les 60-70 €, un rapport Q/P plus que sympatoche. Malheureusement, c’est introuvable 1 an plus tard. Parti sur Catawiki a 250 €
Review by MJ97
Au nez, solvant type Barbade. Côté levure ressort pas mal aussi. Alcool pas trop présent au nez, sent bien les arômes sans être agressé. En bouche, le côté levure ressort beaucoup. C’est l’arôme qui ressort le plus puis on a du bois et des fruits mûrs qui arrivent. Finale très agréable, portée sur le boisé, fruité exotique.
Review by Thomas Renoud
Expected std markers I'm used too, but it had not a lot to deliver, rather thin finish, not memorable experience
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Not the best rum from St. Lucia but still pretty good. The alcohol. Stings in the beginning so I suggest resting it for a while before tasting. Swish the first sip around your mouth and wait a short while before the next sip.
Review by Johannes
Richtig guter Lucia! Vielleicht nicht perfekt ausbalanciert, aber schöne Komplexität!
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Bouteille très sympa ! Assez originale. Manque un peu d’intégration d’alcool.
Review by Simon Leroux
A very nice balance, greediness but not too much. A good rum
