The Plantation Jamaica & Barbados Black Cask 40% 700ml is a delightful blend that bridges the gap between the smoky richness of Jamaican rum and the refined, subtle fruitiness of Barbadian rum. Produced by the esteemed Plantation brand, this rum is a part of the Plantation Black Cask series, known for its intricate and bold flavors. With an ABV of 40%, it strikes a harmonious balance between strength and drinkability. The nose is a compelling introduction, with smoky Jamaican tones delicately weaving through hints of Barbadian fruitiness. Spices and woodiness dominate, hinting at the complexity to come. Upon tasting, an initial sweetness quickly transitions to a woody, dry profile, presenting a stark and engaging contrast. Notes of mango, peach, and pear meet robust dark spices, cinnamon sharpness, and very dry, woody tones. While some may find it a bit thin-bodied and lacking a distinctive signature, it’s an accessible rum that delivers a unique experience at its price point. Overall, the Plantation Jamaica & Barbados Black Cask is a less sweet, drier take on the Plantation range, appealing to those who appreciate a spicier, woodier rum with subtle tropical fruit nuances.
