Planteray (Formerly Plantation) Rum Grand Reserve 5yr 750ml

Nose: Sweet baking treats caramel, toasted coconut, wood related vanilla is quickly followed by hints of banana and pineapple.

Palate: A combination that is wickedly wild and pleasing the flavors keep coming as the bourbon relaxes. Hold it for a moment longer or a rest period and it bursts into another life. The initial tastes present themselves with the sweetness of caramel and orange peel that turn to their spices of pepper, nutmeg cloves the return of the vanilla and onto their beautiful fruits banana pineapple and tid bits of citrus. I cannot help but wonder if it is an elegant dessert that I am enjoying along with my rum. Either way, it is light and pleasant, and I am not pushing it away. They all blend and there is nothing that is setting it apart with an eww factor.

Finish: The rum has a nice medium length finish that, of course, has a sweet and bit of spice and banana, pineapple, and a touch of citrus touch to it.
