Yet another Plantation meant for cocktails that I’m drinking neat. I’m expecting a pineapple bomb, but I’m not getting one. Pineapple is in the mix, but it’s a bitter, pithy version of it. It’s fairly herbal and vegetal as well, certainly not as sweet as I was expecting for a flavored Plantation, although the sugarcane and tropical fruits balance the experience adequately. Overall, I’ll put this about on par with the 5 Year. It’s a passable sipper, but obviously that’s not its intended purpose. I’m sure it holds up well in cocktails, but I haven’t experimented much with it outside of the occasional daiquiri and pina colada.
