Can't go wrong with plantation, just plain good rum for cheap price.
I usually buy the 5 year old that's made in Barbados and I've had some older version of there rum that are great. My local liquor warehouse was out of my usual 5 YO so I thought I'd try this and bought 2 x 1.75L. Wish I hadn't. This Jamaican rum is not very good. I usually drink my rum on the rocks but even mixing this it was still bad. It has a nasty after taste, maybe it's me as I see some ok reviews. Now I have over 3L of rum I'll end up tossing or give to a homeless person.

Plantation is my favourite rum at the moment and this original dark is also a nice one. It Smells very fruity, and itβs taste also like That. The aftertaste is still fruity but with a very little burn in it. What a nice one. And in the cola heβs the best. I give it an 8!!!

This was my first bottle, when I started tasting and "collecting" rum bottles and flavors. I like the smoothness, the vanilla and a little bit of cinnamon flavor. A little burn after you taste it, but is fine. Good price!

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 5/28/20. Dark brown in color. Bananas and vanilla in the aroma. Molasses and maple syrup flavors. Smooth with a cocoa finish.

Not amazing. Almost no aroma and a strong sting of alcohol. Straight is almost indistinguishable from a generic vodka, and it doesn't exactly shines in cocktails either.
I've heard that plantation makes good rum, so I decided to buy myself a bottle, big mistake. First whiff singed my nose, and the taste singed my mouth, throat and taste buds If you want a sipping rum there are many better option than this particular bottle. Diplomatico or even Havana club is much better

Smells a bit like butterscotch and cherries. Tastes sweet with a taste of fruit and cherries. Pleasant but not outstanding. Would buy again for my regular rum but not sure of price as I bought as sample.

Part of the tasting pack. Mild to moderate flavours. Not to my style.

Here in Quebec, the Original Dark from Plantation is only available via private import, which means you need to buy at least one case at the time and go through an elaborate ordering process.
Luckily for me, I have some very Rum enthusiastic friends, and so last summer I ordered two cases that we shared together.
Priced at 30$ CAD, I personally think the only other product that matches its quality price ratio is the El Dorado 8 yo. All of my friends agree that it is very tasty and extra smooth. I went through practically an entire bottle with one of my friend the 1st time I tasted it, just sipping it on the rocks (beware, it then becomes extra smooth and dangerous, with delicious coffee and chocolate milk flavours).
Since then I used it in Painkillers and to bake some Rum cakes for the Holidays.
Very recommended.
