Me too.

FYI the Plantation 5 year Barbados is actually OK as a sipper, just nowhere near the funk/complexity of the Jamaican.

Your assessment compared to the Jamaican could not be more accurate, but I love this Barbados version.

I'd go so far as to say zero funk factor. The range that exists in the rum category is astounding. When someone tells me they do not like rum, I want to say that it's like saying they don't like vegetables or fruit...the choices are too vast to not find an agreeable expression.

Zacapa 23. Like drinking brown sugar. A little too sweet for me, but exceptional nonetheless.
