Sorry, I wasn't that impressed with this one. While it was only $15, I've had other rums for the same price, that I thought were better. Had a little too much burn for me, not smooth enough.

Tasted at Kill Devil Rum Club Plantation tasting at Laka Lono 5/28/20
Notes indicate a smooth sipper with a lovely finish. Aromatic vanilla that carries on into the flavor.

I bought this rum to add to my arsenal. It goes down easy and mixes well with pineapple or orange juice.

A smooth but sweet rum, with in the nose and mouth molasses, cinnamon and a little bit of wood. Not my favorite combination at all.

Well rounded and balanced. Vanilla frosting with rich toasted brown sugar and a touch of oak. All balanced and way too easy to drink

While still early in the (rum) game, I have yet to taste a better rum for under $30

I generally stay away from dosed rum, but this one is a go to for me. Has coconut and vanilla flavor to it. I personally love this in cola, but itโ€™s versatile and well worth having in your possession.

Did the Plantstion Rum tasting event a few years back. Not great, but not bad for the price.

Pretty good, but also pretty sweet. Not a lot of depth but very smooth.

Just fine for the price I guess but now I have sampled it I wouldn't buy again.

The tasting notes on the label are laughable really with nowhere near the complexity suggested. A one dimensional sweet orange flavour with toffee and a note of coconut adding a little interest, followed by some alcohol burn. A bit crude but inoffensive, I can imagine it is much better as a mixer ...

EDIT - tasted with coke and it's pretty decent.

At this level I would happily pay a little more for the extra depth of flavour from Diplomatico Reserva.
