I respect the production technology of this pineapple rum, but there is not much pineapple in the taste, the smell is present, but also restrained, perhaps it is overwhelmed by the smell of cherry. Not a bad pineapple rum, the quality is excellent, but I would like more taste

I haven't had a Plantation rum I didn't like. Where we live, it is a good price and it is great for sipping

This is a really good rum, it is one of my favorites. Even though this is a "Pineapple" rum, the pineapple flavor is not dominant. It is rather like a good dark rum with a very subtle flavoring.

My favorite rum in a Daiquiri was Plantation 3 Star. Then along came this flavored one. It's very good contestant to 3 Star. Looking forward to receiving my Probitas White soon...

Tried as a sipper. Too pineapple. May buy again for a simple mix. Appreciate Plantation’s quality in making this.

I was afraid of the pineapple flavor, but it suits him surprisingly well. Regardless, I still prefer the XO.

Egy ilyen ízesített rumtól sokkal rosszabbat vártam. Nem túl édes, nem túl tolakodó. Finomam jelnetkezik az ananász. Nekem bejött, érdemes adni neki egy esélyt!

Smells like caramelized pineapple and brown sugar.

One of the few "flavored rum" that is done the right way and taste delicious. Good for sipping as well as making a Painkiller Cocktail or Pineapple Daiquiri

Perhaps not one for all rum purists, but this is a far cry from a spiced rum, so I would recommend trying it with an open mind.
When I first uncorked the bottle, it was like sniffing a ripe pineapple that had been soaked in smooth and fruity rum. The taste was then no surprise, with strong notes of pineapple, which doesn't overpower the rummy flavour. The combination of infusing the rum with pineapple bark and then adding distilled pineapple macerate gives a fruity flavour, whilst remaining far less sweet than you might expect ("off-dry" is probably the best descriptor), with a hint of burnt molasses and a smokey finish. I haven't tried the Plantation Original Dark that is used as the base for this, but can deduce that it must have a fairly prominent banana flavour, as this cuts through behind the pineapple. As with most rums, adding a tiny splash of water opens up the flavour a bit.
As has already been said by others, it would be very easy to sip your way through half a bottle of this neat without realising.
I haven't tried mixing it yet, but I'm going to have some with a splash of hot water and some sugar before bed tonight :)
