Plantation Original Dark Double Aged Trinidad & Jamaica

Adquirido em Portugal, numa grande superfície comercial. Provado nas Bahamas.

Un rom interesant . Un rom extrem de condimentat atat in miros cat mai ales in gust . gust puternic de caramel si vanilie si ceva piscareli ca de piper. Gustul de vanilie pare putin cam fals, nenatural. se simte binisor taria mai ales in gust dar nu arde pe gat, mai mult pe papile si n as spune ca i neplacut. Are un post gust lung si .. condimentat evident ))) iar partea interesanta e ca persista si arsura alcoolului care dispare in timp , progresiv ) spre final ramane doar gustul de caramel si acea vanilie cam falsa . pacat de senzatia asta de vanilie falsa , pierde aici.

Este destul de agresiv cu codimentarea , pentru unii poate fi putin neplacut dar acest rom, tocmai pentru ca merge mult spre extreme cu condimentarea dar si alcoolul care se simte destul de puternic pentru un rom, merge bine cu gheata si (desi nu beau rom decat simplu sau cu gheata sau cu extrem de putina apa la temperatura camerei) sunt sigur ca merge super bine in amestecuri (cooktail).
Se desface pe gheata , nu se mai simte atat de puternic alcoolul si se diluaza si din condimentarea puternica , parca l prefer cu gheata mai mult )

My mainline Jamaican darks have been Appleton Estates or Myers, which have always been serviceable without too much burn. This one has a very particular character to it, sort of what you think rum was like 200 years ago. I'm not sure if it's the old-school recipe or the cognac barrel aging, but there's a definite "Funk" that's not for everyone in this. That funkiness makes it great for mixing since it shines through a lot of stuff, but it may not be the best on the rocks.

Needs a little more body and maybe a touch more flavour. It seems to yearn for a little bit of vanilla.....not bad but just about acceptable as a sipping rum for me.

I enjoyed it... not my favorite, but it was different, and quite affordable. Would drink it again.

Plantation barely put a foot wrong imo. Some might complain about sugar and sweetness, but this here is perfect example of what an entry level sipping rum looks like. will make a decent cuba libre, but this one for me is the place to start on 'quality' rum, and is fairly inexpensive too. My favourite way to drink is with a couple of rocks and a squeeze of citrus peel

I originally bought this bottle because I was after a cheaper rum to put in cocktails. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it. On the nose, its sweet & fruity. On the palate, its spicy & smooth. I will keep a bottle of this in my bar for sure.

Get a hit of molasses and caramel, reminds me of Pusser’s somewhat. Is somewhat sweet, may have added sugar, but not bothered by that. :) Great price!

I was really surprised, for £24 I wasn't expecting such versatile rum. Is going well on it's own , on the rocks and as a mixer. Is not to strong, not to sweat , alcohol burn is pleasant, I would say quite refreshing.
