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.

Zachte volle smaak, tikje fruit en vanille met een hint van rook in de neus. Geen nasmaak.

Aroma's of banana, brown sugar, vanilla and fruity in the nose. A very complex nose.
Exceptional soft on the palate with aroma's of sugar cane, banana, vanilla, caramel and fruit.
Exceptional concentration, perfectly balanced and a very long finish.
Absolute top

This is a good mixer that has notes of toffee and caramel. There is quite a bit of fruity esters without it being overpowering. In other words, it plays well with others and would make for some great cocktails.

Someone said too much banana flavor. I believe this was not a detriment to the taste. Rum is a Caribbean made distilled spirit. I want it to have some Caribbean flare and this rum has a good banana flavor which is not overwhelming. This is not going to disappoint you.

Great value and I enjoy the smooth sweeter caramel taste.

Have yet to try a Plantation rum yet that I don’t like. This one is smooth. Not too strong or overbearing aftertaste.

Dotaz na obsluhu mistniho krasneho obchodu s alkoholem byl jasny - doporucte mi Rum, kolem 500kc- moznosti (500-700 😉) bylo nekolik- nakonec jsem vybral ( mimo jine 😂) tohoto tmaveho fesaka. Krasna barva, prijemna vune - ale po prvnim polnuti prislo prijemne prekvapeni, co se dana 500 korun koupit. Smekam.... a tento fesak Double aged se dalsiho tydne nedozil 👍

Tasty, good, too much banana flavor, better than average, not as good for a second chance.

Rich flavors of oak and caramel with little burn. A solid offering from Plantation

Za cenu okolo 12€ som nemal veľké očakávania ale čakal som že to bude ine ako Republika a Hefron. Vôňa ma prekvapila. Je sladká karamelovo korenená, trochu liehová ale cítim tam aj jamajskú zložku. Chuť je na jednu stranu sladká - karamel, med no na druhu stranu štiplavejšia-kyslejšia - korenie, nakvasené ovocie? Záver bol prijemný jemne do horka.
Za danú cenu je to naozaj dobrá voľba či už na samostatné pitie alebo do drinkov (hlavne Cuba Libre) ale na nejaké vychutnávanie musíme zainvestovať viac.
