Plantation Barbados 5 Year Rum

While I'm relatively new to sipping rums, this is the top of my list so far, vastly outperforming others of larger price and age. A fairly sweet rum all the way around, with caramel, toffee, vanilla and almost a subtle banana creme flavor in the back half. A very smooth texture without the overbearing alcohol/ethanol presence on the nose or palate makes for very easy drinking. For a fairly cheap aged rum, it's hard to go wrong. I could drink this rum a long time without growing tired of it

Pretty viscous body, which I would expect from a rum. Nose of caramel and butterscotch. Sweet forward note, with slight banana flavor. Caramel carries throughout. Nice light finish with a touch of spice from, cinnamon (maybe?).

A little cedary when served neat

Sweet candy and baked spice nose. Floral and molasses taste. As a bourbon fan, this is awesome. Not overly sweet. Enjoying neat and will do so other times. This would also make incredible cocktails.
