DDL Plantation One-Time Limited Edition 2007
Opinions land all over the place here. Plenty enjoy the pastry-sweet nose of vanilla, coconut, cocoa and almonds, and call it an easy daily sipper. But a fair few, especially longtime Guyana drinkers, find the palate thin and one-dimensional, with the 51% sticking out and the finish fading fast. The cognac cask makes it fruitier and less woody-raisin than a typical Demerara.

When looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money when you buy this bottle. It's a bit different from the regulate Guyana in a good way. I liked it enough to order a few bottles. The nose is lightly fruity with vanilla, nuts and cocoa as well as light flavors of pastry. The palate is sweet and fruity with molasses, floral, nuts and vanilla as well as tobacco notes. The finish is medium long and warm with spices, licorice and chocolate. Leave the empty glass for a few hours and whif it again 😊

Had somehow hoped this rum would be a worthy Guyana counterpart to the outstanding OTL from Trinidad (RX9683), but was quite disappointed. 🙄 Find this rum just thin and flat and one-dimensional. Too bad. 🥴After all, the PLV is (was) still quite ok and the rum will find its lovers (he already has).
Review by Johannes
Ein guter easy Sipper!
Review by Holle525
Solid rum, it lacks complexity but the PLV is very good. An easy sipper.
Review by Eric Frechin
Je n ai pas beaucoup d expérience avec les rums de Guyana, mais celui ci est différent de ce que j ai déjà goûté. Il est moins exubérant. Le nez est assez agréable porté par du choco/bois/ raisin sec.la bouche me perturbe un peu ça démarre sur des notes chaudes choco boisé puis passe rapidement par une phase d amertume pour revenir vers des fruits sec. J imagine un jus d origine assez mordant que le fût de cognac doit bien arrondir .
Review by HenryL
Very spicy on the nose combined with some citrus fruits and a sweet coconut note. On the palate, a nice broad all-around mix of spicy, fruity, and floral notes, with tobacco standing out. The finish leans towards licorice. Doesn't really convince me at this price. Especially compared to Bellamy’s Guyana Diamond 2012 and the consistently good Rum Nation Solera No. 14 bottlings, this Plantation is faltering.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A soft, round and pastry nose. The mouth mixes a very floral aspect with the sweetness of caramel. It's good but lacks character.
Review by Gregor
Balanced and harmonious. Intense wood tones. Above all, it is very nice that it has no dosage. I find the 51 percent very cleanly integrated
Review by Leo Krüper
Molasses, chocolate, dark wood. Pleasant daily sipper that does not overwhelm you.
Review by Christian Rudt
The nose is dominated by citrus fruits on the palate shows the taste of berries. Nice and easy to drink, just no Guyana -typical profile.
Review by Chrischi78
In der Bar „The Rabbit Hole“ in Hamburg verkostet. Tolle Bar, erstklassige Cocktails und ergiebige Karte mit Destillaten. Der Rum bleibt hinter meinen Erwartungen deutlich zurück. Der mässig eingebundene Alkohol sticht mit ordentlicher Schörfe heraus. Sonst bleibt nicht viel, sehr seichte Guyana Aromen.
Review by Thunderbird
Das ist ein leichter einfacher dünner Rum… mit einer buttrigen überdeckenden Note. Das ist nicht meins
Review by TheJackDrop
Petite dégustation au calme chez le copain Guigui. Au nez c’est plaisant avec pas mal de coco vanille et chocolat, la bouche suit avec quelques épices en plus. La finalement également, moyennement longue. Très sympa.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Price to quality is decent with this bottle. I find this rum to have a nose of almonds and vanilla, and in the notes I found dried fruits, berries and cocoa. I expected a bit more flavor and deeper taste
Review by Daniel Lindén
Superb guyana rom from plantation! Chocolate on the noise immediately, but in the glass it develop to More funky fruity smell. The taste have the same development. Almost 9/10 for my taste.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is lightly fruity with vanilla, tonka/cinnamon beans and cocoa as well as light fruit paste flavors. It's rather heavy but intriguing. The palate is sweet and fruity with molasses, copper, nuts and vanilla as well as hints of tobacco. The finish is moderately long and warm with spice, licorice and chocolate. This blend of different DDL distillation styles is interesting, and when you look at the price, you get your money's worth...
Review by ordogh
Guyana and limited are keywords for a rum enthusiast, I had to taste it. The nose is spice driven, mostly vanilla, cocoa and coconut. The palate feels sweet enough, the fruity side is more toned. The finish with licorice, chocolate gives some nice moments. Overall very good rum, but far from excellent.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Bon rapport qualité/prix. Laissez-lui quelques minutes d’aération, il gagne en rondeur, surtout sur la coco et la vanille. Une petite touche grasse et pâtissière qui glisse bien en bouche. Les épices sont là du début à la fin. Dégustation sympa, ça mérite le détour
Review by Julien Ries
Dégusté dans un V&B. C'est une bonne introduction dans le terroir des Guyana, avec un nez assez consensuel sur la vanille, la coco, et juste ce qu'il faut de boisé et d'épices. La bouche est assez pâtissière, un peu cake aux fruits, avec un donc de vanille. La finale est moyenne. Un rhum honnête mais pas un coup de coeur
Review by Morgan Garet
It starts well with a very greedy nose, very pastry and hydrocarbons in the background, then it's the drama in the mouth nothing pleasant follows. The reduction is too present. The nose saves the note
