Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

I'm aware that this isn't technically a white rum, but it has wonderful elements of Jamaican rum with a slight funk and a hint of caramel. There's definitely a bit of sweetness here, but it works in cocktails quite well.

Zapach: Aromatyczna wanilia, palony karmel, dość styrana beczka, ananas, cytrusy. Zapach nie jest lekki - trochę alkoholowy oraz przypominający ciemny rum.

Smak: Biała czekolada, wanilia, kremowa śmietanka, ciastka korzenne, dużo ananasa, wyraźna słodycz, cytrusy a na końcu wyraźne, lekko styrane beczki (nadające w niewielkim stopniu “klimat palonego plastiku”) oraz młody alkohol

Fajny rum w karaibskim klimacie nie będący (mimo sugerującego to wyglądu) rumem light. Jest aromatyczny oraz bogaty w aromaty, posiada wyraźny charakter który wyczuwalnie się odznacza w drinku. Choć czuć że jest młody to bogactwo aromatów skutecznie to maskuje. Mały plusik za bonus w postaci 41,2% mocy co dość rzadko sie w rumach zdarza.

Ocena: 71/100

First bottle of white rum that I drank almost entirely neat, made a couple of cocktails with ginger beer lime and ice and that was it. Worked nicely both ways but I wanted to experience it raw.

As per the nose and palate I got vanilla, banana and pear. The nose actually felt stronger that it was on the palate, which was really smooth for a white rum. Very well executed blend and I will def go back to it anytime soon.

taste - 4.5/10
smell - 5/10
sweetness - 6/10
price/value rating - 8/10

Really nice finish. Great blend of 3 rums. Deep flavour. Lovely bottle.

For the price, you will a hard time finding anything to match this for a mixer in a drink calling for lightly aged blended rum.

This is my go to for when my tiki cocktail calls for a white rum

Not 9n to have on its own , defiantly a cocktail rum . Prefer the jamivan mixeing rums but still good stuff

Unexpectedly flavorful and nuanced for a light rum. And a budget-priced one at that! A bit fruity, a bit funky, and roundly sweet, with none of the typically grassy elements I’ve found in other lighter varieties. Great in cocktails like Painkillers, that fully leverage tropical fruit and citrus. However, I found it too sweet and dominating in my typical Daiquiri and Mojito recipes, where I expect cleaner and brighter flavors. Perhaps if I tweak the recipes... Still, so shockingly smooth you could sip it on its own.

Sorry, I cannot rate a white rum higher than 7. This “7” is the equivalent of a 10 for white rum. This is actually enjoyable straight on ice. Full stop. Unbelievable. Coconut notes. Smooth with balance. This crushes any other white rum out there and costs less than $20. It blew Foursquare Probitas and Barcardi away. No contest and cost less. This white rum will make your cocktails SOAR. Well done Plantation!
