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.

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 bought a bottle for a vacation to mix whit it and I was amazed how good it is. We drank half of it neat.

It can be a little sweet for some people but i don’t think it is too sweet.

Very good value for money!
I will definitely buy more.

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.
