Plantation Belize XO Single Cask

Made for someone who wants a soft, Spanish-style sipper with a Cognac lean rather than a bold, characterful Belize. Caramel, honey and grapes up front, roasted nuts and milk chocolate underneath, and at 49.4% the alcohol sits well back. Several tasters find it a touch thin and short on the finish — pleasant enough, but it doesn't leave much behind.

The community says
  • Easy to approach
  • Soft nutty caramel
  • But: Thin body

The look inside the bottle

How does Plantation Belize XO Single Cask taste?

Aggregated from 21 community reviews.

Soft, sweet Belize sipper that runs a bit thin Most land on decent-but-unremarkable: easy notes, light body, muted profile. One taster sums the gripe up — "a bit too sharp a bit too sweet" — and the finish fades fast.

Perfect for

newcomers wanting easy, soft, sweetish sipping

Less suitable for

drinkers chasing body, depth or a long finish

This canidate from Belize finished in last place of my Belize tasting. I would recommend it to some new guys in the rum world, due the easy access of various notes, also the alcohol remains in the background (due diluation). The fealing in mouth is rather light and elegant. Also the finish is quite short and inexpressive

Quite a muted and sweet thing, that Plantation offered there. Will have a second go at a later time. The second go is not really better, it tastes like a Spanish style rum with a bit of Cognac, which it is.

Gut, aber etwas dünn, wenig Körper, geschmacklich kein klassischer Belize.

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 290 Rums

Belize is the Caribbean rum nation that almost did not happen. Britain wanted its timber, not its sugar, and for a century the sugar houses fed their molasses to cattle rather than distill it. Today this small Central American country has four rum makers, one of them, Travellers, world famous, and is the only full WIRSPA member on the mainland. Its rum is mostly molasses, mostly column-distilled, and quietly beloved by independent bottlers.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js).
