This rum punches way above its weight for a white rum. This is my go to for cocktails calling for a generic white rum.

It's an excellent backbone option for cocktails, but I would not consider it a sipper.

Nose: light wisps of fruit and spice, faint hints of vanilla and sugar. On the palate: fairly clean, with intermittent lime, pineapple, vanilla, and spice sneaking in and out. Medium short finish...this is a lightly aged white/light rum with enough rum character to separate it from the blank slate of white retail rums. Makes a very clean daquiri - not distinctly delicious like a Probitas but you drink knowing it's a "rum" cocktail. A little light for sipping...

Plantation never fails to impress me with their products and this one is quite a unique one. It has all the taste a dark rum can offer, but it's colourless. The 3 stars stands for the blend which is from Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. Has a complex fruity, somewhat sweet taste and it's also a bit stronger than similar rums; at 41,2% it has also a bit more kick to it. For the price it's basically unbeatable. Definitely recommended!

The vanilla, spice and fragrance make this a top shelf โWhiteโ rum although as noted it appears filtered to a straw color. Against white rums itโs a 8+. It has added sugar so you want to alter your recipes to account for the sweetness. It is too sweet for my sipping rum taste thus the 7.

The taste is fruity, crisp and a bit nuty.
Hints of honey. I really love it in cocktails but it's only a- 7/10 for no depth of flavors.
I know that Plantation are often judged for the added sugar. I can't see what is wrong whit it, it opens up the flavors.

Being a Plantation aficionado, I had to taste this. Unfortunately for us in Quebec, apart from the winters, it means getting the 3 stars through an elaborate mix of private import agency and state controlled process.
Luckily I am quite stubborn and last summer I ended ordering two cases of the stuff and sharing it with my friends. It was indeed a hit and a unanimous winner. So much so that a month latter I order two additional cases.
Everyone agreed it could easily be sipped on the rocks, with some nice tropical aromas of bananas and mango. I personally made the best cuban classics (Mojitos and Daiquiris) with it.
I think the best result was one my friend having the brilliant idea of mixing this in a freshly opened coconut (the fresh ones cut and wrapped, not the old fibrous ones) with some ice.
I'm sure most people reading this know about the elaborate process to create this white rum. To be honest, the only white rum approaching this quality is the Diplomatico Blanco Reserva, and it's practically twice the price.
Let's just say Plantation nailed it again.
