Burn up front, then fantastic flavor. My new favorite mixer at this price point. Not much else to say about it. Honestly a bit similar to a higher end plantation rum I won't name, but flipped evolution so not as good for sipping, but at a third of the price.
Now this one! Golden in color and rich in taste. This one ruined a golf day.
One of my first choices consuming with ice and with classical cuba libre. Very good price and taste ratio. I think it is better than 3 Stars Artisanal.
A Plantation that is a well made Rhum, pleasant in mouth, not too sweet, always appreciate Plantation that has a really good quality for the price.

Another solid rum and this one was under $20 at the TW Cherry Hill NJ. Typical of the few other Plantation rums I have tried in that it is sweet and all the rums from them that I have tried are better on the rocks than neat. Another example of excellent value. Have tried so many rums that are double the price of Plantation rums including the XO and in most cases the Plantation rums are better or on par with those rums costing a lot more.

Great for mixing, a bit too much added sugar, not a real great sipper but good overall non the less, as far as you know what you’re getting
Truly a fantastic choice for this price level. Nice aroma & flavor!

Nice colour and taste, not overpowering nor cloying. I keep it as a general purpose rum which I can drink straight but more likely mix with juice or ginger ale. Not top shelf but affordable.

I really enjoyed this, will definitely buy again. Nice heat and flavours. Although a tad harsh

This rum is meant for mixing and not to be sipped. Good for a rum and cola.

If you're familiar with Plantation, you know what your getting here: an exceptionally blended and carefully aged rum, with some tropical aging and an ex-Cognac barrel finish with some "dosage", beautifully bottled and brought to market at an impressive value.
Though there's little in common, I like to think of this bottle as "OFTD, Jr." It's a blend from Trinidad and Jamaica (vs. OFTD's Jamaica, Guyana, and Barbados), has been brought down to a friendly 40% (vs. 69%), and dosed with a liberal amount of sugar (OFTD not so much). But beyond that, the flavor profiles are strikingly similar—both are warm and spicy, with no hint of cheap alcohol aroma. Like all Plantation rums (even their "bar classics"), it's rather delicious on its own—especially if you don't mind sweet.
This is a fine rum to stock your bar with, and mix drinks in large quantities for your friends. It's not for subtlety or showing off, but it will deliver in spades against any other rum in its price bracket. Highly recommended.
