Plantation Original Dark Trinidad

The old version (Trinidad & Tobago) used to be the best among its price class in my humble opinion. Too bad it's not available anymore and instead we get a rough and almost "smokey" new Trinidad & Jamaica version which I couldn't really enjoy straight up at all.

It's all a matter of taste of course but to me a very good and cheap everyday straight up rum has died. R.I.P.

It's a nice rum. Quite sweet. Its pretty cheap too.

Distinct flavour different from any other distillate I've had. Seems very artificial and sweet.

Might work in a cocktail in particular but i have yet to find which one.

With a mild but rich flavor, albeit a little harsh, it's not a sipper but it works well in a variety of drinks. It's good on the rocks with water, too. I don't have a single favorite rum but if I were forced to choose only one rum to drink for the rest of my life with a limited budget, this would be among the finalists. My ratings don't factor in the price but if they did, this would be an 8 or a 9.

Schmeckt in Cola nach Rumtopf. Das muss man mögen, so wie ich.

For the 12 € I paid for this I got a lot of Rum. I think they somhow updated the original Dark, because it has a new lable now, which says that it also contains some jamaican Rum now and it is possible to taste the typical Jamaica notes now. So if your standard is not to high this one can already be a great sipper.

For just a few dollars more (isn't that a Clint Eastwood movie?) you can have some of the best I can think of - the Plantation 5 year Barbados. The best few dollars you will ever spend.

On a supermarket blend to be honest.

Pretty nasty sickly sweet. Unremarkable.

I'm afraid people are seduced by the pretty bottle. This isn't great rum I'm afraid

Bon rhum très parfumé avec une accroche virile mais pas agressive. A tester.

For drinking it is little bit to hard for me with undeveloped taste, but with a great aroma and thus I use it mainly in the kitchen. Wild boar or other game marinated in this is just heaven ...
