Opinions divide sharply here, and it comes down to one thing: the peated whisky finish. Some tasters were braced for a mess and got a pleasant surprise; others just find it strange. Expect smoke, dried fruit, a little caramel sweetness and a long, smoky finish. One reviewer called it his "favourite of rums extra matured in Islay casks." You have to be in the mood for it.
The community says- Well-integrated smoke
- Long smoky finish
- Keep in mind: Very polarizing

The look inside the bottle
How does Plantation Single Cask 1997 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Peated, smoky rum for whisky drinkers Loved by whisky-and-peat fans, puzzling to purists. The Islay-cask smoke either lifts it or dominates — expect a smoky, dried-fruit rum that leans hard toward Scotch.

Very pleasant undertone of smokiness. My favourite of rums extra matured in Islay casks
Review by Simon Mathias Kaspersen

Very special taste. Tastes intensely smoky like whiskey, and woody. But it's clearly a rum.

#7327 19.09.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after my bike training, trying to release the sore muscle in my hip. Listening to a playlist on Spotify called Discover Weekly. Pretty nice rum with an OK price tag at release. Medium intense profile with roasted wood, caramel, peat, smoke, spice, fruits, nougat, tar, nuts, caramel and a dry palate.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Mild rum with a discreet fruity nose. On the palate, the peated whisky finish takes over, bringing smoky notes but counterbalanced by a slight sweetness. The alcohol is well integrated, but the whole appears slightly reduced. Long, smoky finish. It could be highly appreciated by whisky and peat lovers. Next
Review by Daniel
Pleasantly smooth, smoky whisky note paired with a slight sweetness.
Review by Jack M
The surprise of the evening. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the Islay finish (having found it disgusting in another rum) but this was really enjoyable. It was subtle enough and added to the rum rather than overpowering and destroying it.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Impressive smoked style rum. You really have to be in the mood for this. I am not a “smoke aficionado”, otherwise I would have set the score closer to 90.

Read full review ›This is one of my favorite rums from the Plantation brand. I love smoky rums and this one is probably the smokiest I’ve tasted recently. Yet it’s perfectly balanced and really drinks wonderfully.
