In cocktails it never disappointed me, but it never impressed me either. It did the job. I could taste the rum in every drink, whitout it taking over to much. But hard to pin down the taste.Tried it neat once, tasteprofile; vanilla, fruity and a little hint of glue. Nothing special, nothing terrible. But since it just went on to do the job in every drink i mixed, i can not rate this lower than 7 points. But still, not much to say about taste and smell.

I do like some plantation 3 star. Great for sipping neat or in any cocktail where white rum is needed. Awesome value.
Best white rum you can get. Loved this rum a whole lot
Not as multidimensional as Vertias.
But still a solid white rum for cocktails.

En dejlig hvid rum der kan bruges til det meste i baren. Er ikke god som sipper.

Bought this for Mojitos, absolutely love it in them. Burns a little too much for me to drink neat, but if you’re looking for something to mix with, look no further! Incidentally also great for making vanilla extract and subsequently creme brûlée.
EDIT: Having tasted some more rums, I'm deciding to bump this up to an 8 because of its price to performance: I can get this for 13.90 €, and at that price I don't think it can be beat. I wish it tasted a little bit more intense, but at that price it's still a great performer.

Last time I was able to find it I bought four bottles for all my white rum mixing needs. Not a true young white rum but an aged rum filtered over Charcoal.

Awesome mixing rum and even a smooth light sipping rum
8

out of 10
First thing in the nose immediately after pouring is warming alcohol. After it sits and relaxes for a few moments hints of vanilla, sugar and soft fruitiness come out .
The flavor is smooth and light. Warming with hints of vanilla, and sugar up front. I get a little soda-like quality, almost like a cross between cream soda and root beer. It's fleeting and very soft. The flavors transfer to a soft bitterness at the end and the sweetness dries up. Finish is soft and fast. A soft lingering numbness on the palate. Very clean and crisp. This is a light bodied delicate rum with a lot going on if you look for it. The underlying complexity lends itself to creating great nuances in cocktails.
This is not a hard rum to sip. It's light and smooth. Light rum flavor with other soft notes combining to make a nice drink. It really comes into its own as a mixer when calling for unaged or lightly aged rum. Great in a Daiquiri, El Presidente and other classic cocktails especially those that call for Cuban or Puerto Rican style rums. I highly recommend this for any Tiki enthusiast as it's a great weapon in the Tiki arsenal. A solid 7 for a light sipper and 8 for all around use as a mixer. And at this price it's a fantastic bargain, $18 for a liter bottle in Ohio.
Dosage on this rum is 7 g/L according to the Plantation website.
