A very likable rum with a clear aroma and taste of arrak. For me as a Swede I can relate to our Swedish “Punch” which is a liquer made of Bataviaarrak. A rum that I could drink more than once a week.

It's not the first Jamaican I'd reach for, by itself or in a cocktail, but it's surprisingly decent. Not a massive funk bomb by any stretch, but sometimes that's what you want for a cocktail. Just a bit. It is dryer than most Jamaicans I've had, and works fantastically in a Mai Tai, where a bit of the hogo remains on the nose, but the flavor doesn't overpower the other rums in the drink, and just blends nicely together. A mainstay? Maybe not. Would I buy it again? Probably!

I'm sure this rum has a niche audience, but it simply is not for me. Definitely better on the rocks but has a superrrr funky taste, I guess as Jamaican rums tend to. Not too bad initially, but such a forward flavor on the back of the palate after swallowing that can only be described as if a bunch of 3 week old banana peels and a leather couch were fermented. VERY unique but probably would never purchase again.

This is an amazing rum and somehow makes a symphony around being fruity, funky, and dry Alm at the same time. Wonderful on the nose when you pour it neat and after it breaths for just a minutes it really opens up and releases the fruit and ester but not in a solvent way. It’s smooth going down and hardly any sweet which is a good change for a plantation rum. Well done.

Heavy vanilla and caramel flavor, some banana, moderate black licorice spice. Typical funk from Jamaican rums. Light amber color
Nice run with notes of smoked banana. Drinks easy and smooth. Good for sipping

Fruity and funky on the nose, funky and pleasant dry fruitiness in the mouth. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Great value for the price.

Not so strong Jamaican, but very delicious. On the nose are some fruits and banana. These 43 % abv are there, and you will feel some little alcohol kick. The finish is strong and long as well, but not overwhelming. Great value for the price, definitely will buy again. Very good stuff from Plantation.

This was my hardest rating so far. It is difficult to go beyond the impressions I had with previous Plantation experiences. I would like to ask to anyone who rated this less then 7 to do a blind taste with this one and tell me what is the rating of this one. It can't be less than 7. First the nose: it is fruity, funky, but it lacks that typical solvent you can find in most Jamaicans. That for me is a pro. You can smell the cognac finish, but that's not a problem too. In the mouth in the first sip it does not kick you like a mule, and that was disappointing at first, but then it opened its variety of flavors: bananas, raisins, pineapple, lot of funk. The hogo is there, it is not covering all other sensations, it is just there, chilling. That would be an 8, if it wasn't for the finish. Long. Super long. Hell I've already washed my teeth and I can still feel it. It is very dry, very Jamaican, may be difficult to accept that the French did a better Jamaican rum than some Jamaican ones. But if you can go beyond that prejudice, you will find a very good rum wanting for you.
