A really good balanced rhum for its price.
Light vanilla taste, well balanced with wooden notes.
For around $30 USD where I live, this is a killer deal. I keep a bottle on my bar at all times, with a backup down below. Yes, I use it primarily for mixing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it neat too!
Nose: Some ethanol burn, quickly dissipates into semi-sweet vanilla and caramel with a hint of fruit.
Palate: Molasses, butterscotch, vanilla. Nice amount of oak character. Dig deeper and you find a hint of ripe banana and fresh fruit.
I can get this on the shelf at my liquor store for 20$ a bottle. For that price? What is beating this? Almost nothing.
Similar to grande reserve but more peppery and less vanilla. Also a bit smoother. Better for sipping but maybe not justified for mixing in comparisson.

This is definitely a lighter rum. It doesn't hit quite the same as some other aged rums. The presentation on the bottle is lovely and the price point is a plus as well.
As far as the taste, this is a dry rum, more along the lines of Mount Gay, subtle notes of coconut, but it is more hot than it is smooth, so drinking this one neat is a little rough.
One of the best Aged Rums for the price. Full of flavor. Wonderful to add to any tiki cocktail. A beautiful bouquet of mashed bananas, vanilla, and caramel. Hogo on the pallette. Perfect for sharing neat or shaking, you can't go wrong with this one.
Excellent, smooth. Easy on paladar and a nice kick afterwards
Easy to drink, not as good as the Barbados grande reserve, smooth finish

This being Plantation workhorse, it is quite representative of the house style.
Tropical aromas on the nose: banana, mango, coconut and some light baking spices.
Medium body, the mouth as a bit more texture than most golden rums = probably the result of the classic bajan wayof mixing copper pot and column stills distillates.
Finish is a bit short but with some delicious orange marmalade notes.
In my local this is pretty much the same price as El Dorado 12 and Appleton Estate Extra/ 12yo, all three of them being excellent choices, I feel the Plantation is the most versatile one. Could easily be sipped straight or on the rocks, but lots of tropical flavours that carry on in a premium cocktail and not to much wood.
This Holiday season I went through a bottle making some buttered rum and the result was fantastic.
