This is my absolute favorit rum for a Dark'n'Stormy.

This! Is! Awesome!! This is standard procedure done really really well! Strong aroma loaded with tropical fruits and brown-sweetness (toffee, caramel, you know.) Brown-sweet takes over in the mouth with molasses coming out, but still rounded out by those fruits and a little spice joining in the fun. Finish is just a nice warm tickle as the goodness fades. And to top it off, its $25 a liter. Best value there is. Period!

I love this double aged rum. It has a nice dark taste to it and excellent on the rocks. If you're looking for something different but not too overwhelming this is a great choice. One of my favorites.

At $20-$25 a bottle you can’t beat it. A great dark blend.

Like many others I have tried several offerings from Plantation. They can be hit-and-miss with their rums. This one is nearing the miss part of the spectrum.
Nose: Peppercorns, cloves, brown sugar, cinnamon and caramel
Taste: Pineapple, caramel, cinnamon and raisins with a very short and sweet aftertaste
Overall: This is not a spectacular rum in any sense. It is to sweet and simple for me, but it is very cheap and is a good value for money if you need to tighten the purse strings

Not a big fan of this as a sipper, but love it as a mixer. Nice aroma & flavor. Tough to beat $18.49 for 1L as well too!

Good mixer for Dark n Stormy, and other cocktails. It’s a solid 8 for me.

Sugar: Estimated at 18-20 GPL. A great mixing rum. It's strong flavour carries through whatever you mix it with. In my case it's Orange Pineapple juice for my wife. Straight up it's not bad as a sipping rum, but it’s definitely a mixer. Oak, vanilla, dark almost burnt sugar/caramel, Cognac for sure, and some baking spices. Really well balanced and A bit of a burn as a sipper. I would purchase this again for Mai Tai, Pina Coladas, and rum punch drinks.

15 Euro Rum that can be sipped but should be mixed
6

out of 10
The Plantation Original Dark is a three-year mature blend from Trinidad and Jamaica and has 40% alcohol content. I tasted the rum oure and was surprised that it is somehow drinkable. Some sweet, smoke, but also extremely short and clear alcohol resonates. I also had a friend who valued the rum much more expensive.
In the end, however, it's more for mixing. Somehow something between the 3Star of Plantation and the Havana Club 7. It's delicious in Coke although I find the others mentioned here or the slightly more expensive Grand Reserva better. But for about 15Euros you don't do anything wrong here. Personally, however, I would rather buy the 3 star for mixing. And for sipping... u know... see my Cabinet.
Der Plantation Original Dark ist ein drei Jahre gereifter Blend aus Trinidad und Jamaica und hat 40% Alkohol Anteil. Ich habe den Rum pur verkostet und war überrascht das er trinkbar ist. Etwas Süße, Rauch, aber auch extrem kurz und klarer Alkohol schwingt mit. Habe auch einen Freund kosten lassen, welcher den Rum wesentlich teurer eingeschätzt hat.
Am Ende aber doch eher zum Mixen. Irgendwie etwas zwischen dem 3Star von Plantation und dem Havana Club 7. Ist lecker in Cola obwohl ich hier die anderen genannten oder den etwas teureren Grand Reserva besser finde. Aber für ca 15Euro macht man hier nichts falsch. Ich persönlich würde aber zum Mixen eher den 3 Star kaufen. Und zum sippen... guckt euch einfach mein Cabinet an.
