Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A bit sad that this one has been watered down this much. What could have been a good rum ended up very light and very sweet.
Review by Gregor
A little too thin and a little too much sugar. But otherwise a nice round harmonious rum.
Review by Tim
Fruchtig süß mit Honig auf den ersten Blick. Im Abgang bleibt nicht viel hängen.

13/12/2024: Road Rummers Plantation tasting
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Nice nose, long finish but taste is not of my preferrence.
Review by Stijn Zino
S8 T3 Road Rummers Plantation tasting I'll happily drink my glas but this is just too light and too sweet. Not exciting. Easy rum for everyone, but not a good reference to Barbados rum in my opinion. Nose was stronger when pouring the glass.
Review by J.V.
Erinnert an Mount Gay XO, insgesamt rund und lecker
