How does Plantation Old Reserve 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Sweet, roasty Guyana crowd-pleaser Reliable, pleasantly sweet Guyanese rum with roasted spices, vanilla and soft fruit. Considered harmonious and good value, though some find the added sugar masks the original character.
Those who enjoy sweeter, approachable Guyanese rums with roasted, spicy notes and hints of orange and cherry, and don’t mind some dosage.
Purists avoiding added sugar or drinkers seeking dry, high-ester or very complex Guyana profiles.

First nose is roast and some pepper. Some moments later it gets slight sweeter with baked sugar. The taste is again very roasty and pepper with some bittersweet notes. The finish comes with spices, burnt and some bittersweet notes. First sip was with a short finish, the second one last much longer. Nice rum. Fortunately, I still have got a spare bottle. :-)
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Yet another very nice rum from plantation, this time one from Guyana, which is one of my favourite countries when talking about rum. A very well balanced nose with a bit of tobacco to it as well as a hint of vanilla. The finish is nice and long with some cinnamon to it. Well worth the money.
Review by Skyfly
Nice bottling, but doesn't reach the comparison vintages. From nose to finish lots of wood, vanilla and burnt sugar. On the palate clearly fruitier with orange and cherry. Alcohol is super well integrated.
