Plantation Original Dark Rum

Лайм, горький шоколад. Шероховатый хвост как у российских коньяков.

It smells rich with firework smoke. It is fairly harsh with a lot of spice and a bit more alcohol flavor than I would like, but it isn't bad. That firework taste definitely does come through and it helps to mask the alcohol. Although there is some sweetness, the bitter smoke makes it taste like a man's drink. I actually kind of like the fireworks. There's a lot of vanilla and some sort of dried fruit. The minerality is a bit much, but this is a borderline sippable drink. The flavor is quite abrasive but is also very full. The banana presence is there but is not overwhelming.

They call it funk. It is funky. Might not be a fan favorite out of the gate but, this rum has its place. Like, with a spliff! The cognac hogo punch turns over to heavy brown sugar. Barrel char follows and washes away with vanilla oak, heat.. it's different, cause of the Cognac barrel finish.. but it's cigar worthy tell a buddy, kinda rum! It's French (sweet) Rum..
