I have tried this rum a couple of times and it's excellent on the rocks. 16g/l of sugar. I recently bought a bottle of Doorlys 5 and it more sharp, with an oaky bitterness (I like it). I think I am starting to appreciate unadulterated rums the more I try, though the Plantation 5 is good.

@StevetheBarmanRumReviews the Xaymaca sells here for $21.99 as well. Definitely worth restocking both at those prices!

Great video Steve. I always enjoy your honesty and keeping to your price ceiling for us common folk. For the Plantation Barbados 5 Year, it goes for about $90 here in Australia.

I prefer the Plantation 5 Year for sipping over the Plantation Grand Reserve. But would the Grand Reserve be better in Rum Punch Steve? Could you get your hands on it?

Grande Reserve is A LOT sweeter. And is not in the UK Market. I have tried it though. Personally for me, not a Cocktail Rum at all. Okay as a Mixer. But lacks depth to fight against other flavours. Its just a Mellow easy drinker.

This used to be a regular for me when my local Asda stocked it, and I only sipped it rather than mixing. I need to revisit as I used to find it a lovely drop! Digressing slightly Steve - Mount Gay. Massive long shot but through your contacts, is there anywhere that still might have odd bottles of the Allan Smith blend Black Barrel? I know it’s going to be a needle in a haystack …… I love that rum

Totally respect your view. For me, if I am sipping rum neat, which is rare, I’m sipping Foursquare ECS. And my go to white rum is Probitas/Veritas (which, to be fair, is more Jamaican than Bajan). So Indo drink quite a bit from Barbados. But I agree that they are not really cocktail rums. The big exception is Real McCoy 12, which makes the best Corn n’ Oil ever. Just a bit of JDT Falernum and skip the lime. It’s about $50 here. Fantastic value.

Thats a steal. Real Mc 12 is north of £50+ here... so close to $65ish.

Can’t seem to find it in Ontario Canada at the moment. When it was at the LCBO it was $38.95 (~£22) for 750 mL. No problem getting the Grande Reserve right now though for $34.45 (just over £20). Not sure how that one compares as it’s also listed as a 5-year-old Bajan?

Grande Reserve isn’t a 5yo. Think it’s technically a 3yo. But importantly there’s no actual age statement. It’s also a lot sweeter too.

The Pineapple rum aged in Teeling barrels is great and I’m not a huge fan of sweetened rum. Mix the pineapple rum with ginger beer and it is so good.

Stiggins is not actually that sweet in the grand schem of things. Not compared to a lot of other flavoured Rums. Think they dose to 20g to enable it still being "Rum". but thats on par with the XO. I wouldn't get too hung up on "Sweetened Rums", not until you get stupid sweet like the Spiced Rums.
