Plantation Old Reserve 25 Year Old

Well-aged dessert rum loved for its creamy vanilla, chocolate, caramel and surprising smoothness at 53%, though clearly dosed and extremely sweet, which divides opinion.

    How does Plantation Old Reserve 25 Year Old taste?

    Powerful, ultra-sweet dessert Trinidad
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy Zacapa-style sweetness but want more age and ABV punch, this pushes the dessert profile further—great if sugar-heavy, chocolatey rums are your thing.

    Not really suitable for

    Anyone avoiding added sugar, preferring dry rums, or sensitive to intense sweetness that can mask the original distillate character.

    Pappsüss. How high is the sugar content of this bottling? The original distillate is practically unrecognizable. Unfortunately far too sweet for me.

    09.01.2019 Enjoying samples at home. Colour Medium to dark in colour. Nose Fresh, sweet, light wood, vanilla, fruit cake, light chocolate, light caramel, faint nutts. Palate Sweet, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light nougat, light chocolate, faint caramel, faint tar, faint floral. Finish Short to medium, sweet, wood, light chocolate, spice, dried fruit, light nougat, faint mint.

    The first whiff makes it clear: this is going to be sweet! Great associations of white chocolate and toffee immediately come to mind. Smells like an Italian dessert on vacation. As expected, the palate is very sweet with associations of chocolate and brown sugar. Very sweet - definitely a lot of help here. Not my cup of tea, but one of the best sweet rums I've tasted. So I can understand the hype. Anyone who likes sweet rums with power will get their money's worth here.
