Plantation Rum

[Karl]

I'd like to say hello to everyone in the group. I'm new here, and this is my first post.

Has anyone seen or tried Plantation Rum from Trinidad? The bottle says "Old Reserve 1991 Vintage," and "Trinidad Authentic Estate Rum."

It's been springing up in the NH State Liquor Stores. It looks interesting and the price isn't bad.

Thanks

Karl

I've seen Angostura's Plantation but haven't had the opportunity to try it yet.

Hi,

I can't tell you anything about this rum but maybe this site ist interesting: http://www.gafrance.com/plantation/index.html

(there they only mention a 1993 Vintage from Trinidad but in some German shops I can find the 1991 version, too)

So far I tried the 1992 from Venezuela and I really liked it (after adding some drops of water at it is quite strong at 90 proof).

But the rum from Trinidad will definetly completely different.

According to a tasting note of a German internet shop ( http://www.koelnerrumkontor.de ) it seems to be a relatively light rum.

Hi,

last weekend I bought a bottle of Plantationa rum, but it says on the label "Old Reserve 1986 vintage" and "Product of Barbados". On the French site above only the 1991 version is mentioned. Did I buy some old stock??? And, as said before by others: is the 1986 a better year than the 1991 or not? This question because they have still two or three bottles, is it worth getting them as wel? They charged me 30 Euro's for the bottle. The 1991 was sold for 25 Euro.
