It is a smooth rum, wel balanced and a bit dry, but i don't like how the alcohol comes out in the aftertaste.

But close to a sipper, works better with lots of ice or some cola.

I liked the price and decided to try it for some mixes. My wife loves it in cocktails or on its own. For the price I’ll pick it up again.

Edit: the more I taste it, the better it gets 🙃
This young rum is pretty subtle in nose and palate. Hints of vanilla in the nose.
Not very aromatic on the tongue, but smooth and very pleasant for this age. I had older rums with less taste.

Rather thin. I miss some character and volume of more aged rums.

Good Rum at a very good price
I think I paid 19.99 for this and
still only use as a sipper

Solid barbados rum. Very serviceable sipping rum, and a strong mixer (good corn -n oil). Like most plantation rums (standard line) its an excellent value.

A nice smooth rum with a very nice vanilla taste. Perfect for beginners.

Heck the more i drink rum the more i find that Plantation is doing a great job. This rum is very nice, you can drink it neat, on the rocks or a quite tasty Rum and Coke. Good stuff for the money spent.

This has everything you would want a mid-priced rum to have. It really is not that far removed from the Plantation XO - it's not as smooth, but it has more bite and tang. I guess it depends what you like. Both have a hint of sweetness and are great to sip. This one is much better value for money, and as has been pointed out elsewhere, if you are in the UK, the Marks and Spencers Bajan XO is more or less the same stuff, a fraction cheaper with a different label.

The predominant tastes are molasses and very subtle caramel and vanilla. The aftertaste is warm with a slight alcohol burn...but of the type you'd want, not the type that might make you splutter.
It's definitely a sipper and best drank straight or on the rocks.

A little strong in alcohol, but super worth to sip pure, great complex aroma, super value for money, you can order it for below 20€.

Easy to drink, not to strong. Great rum. Difficult to find in some countries
