You can drink it on the rocks if desired, but I find it a little under aged for that.....still far more drinkable in that mode than any bacardi or the like will EVER be.
I have spoiled so many people with this rum, once tasted in a fine rum and coke, you will never be able to go back to the big name brands ever again. Smooth and flavourful with harsh aftertaste. Fantastic price point and without a doubt the best mixer rum I've ever bought.....
Best rum and coke mixer with no guilt from mixing a higher priced alternative.

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 it’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.

Je to taky mensi brat plantation 20th universary, ktory je vsak ale asi 2 krat taky drahy. Za mna asi najlepsi rum v cenovej hladine cca 20 eur, naozaj neuveritelna chut za tie peniaze, velmi jemny, nie presladeny a s vyraznou chutou kokosu. Zamna velmi odporucam :)
