Aroma visualization from community tastings
Plantation Wild Cherry Finish 2003
Sour cherry and cherry wood lead here, but not in a candy way — one member reassures it's nowhere near Stiggins' Fancy pineapple levels. Underneath sits the familiar Barbados frame: caramel, coconut, dark chocolate and light roasted oak, dry on the palate with just a touch of sweetness. Most tasters land around "pretty average," though one calls it the best Plantation he's tried.

Dry Barbados with a subtle cherry-wood finish Opinions cluster around solid-but-unremarkable, with the cherry finish gentler than the name suggests. One or two rate it a personal Plantation favorite; others hoped for more from "wild cherry."

#6725 30.04.2026 Relaxing with some samples after first 54 km on the bike and then 5 km of speed walking. Listening to some nice Trance tracks on Spotify. Another pretty average bottling by the old "Plantation". A sweet profile with fruits, spices and light roasted wood and chocolate.
