Plantation Original Dark Double Aged Trinidad & Jamaica

cant beat the price. on the rocks or mixed good either way

I like this rum for only $18.99 (Total Wines & More, 2017 price).

Smells and tastes of charred oak, spice, caramel, and maybe a hint of cognac. Not sweet.

Decent, though I prefer slightly sweeter rums.

This is another great plantation rum! And it costs less then a Captain Morgan! But this one you can enjoy as a sipper. A CM you can't drink without coke, at least the cheaper ones. And if you want to mix it you will never go back to rums like CM. The smell is smooth full of arrak, vanilla and banana. It have a quite oaky sweet taste of vanilla, arrak, rumraisins and banana. I have a feeling that a bottle of plantation original dark will always be in my cabinet. A cold winterday blend this with hot chocolate and some whipped cream on top and you will be amazed! Go and buy now, a must have!

Nice bronze color. On the nose are notes of exotic fruits with banana and spices with a light smoky side. In the mouth, it is very sweet, not very long. An excellent rum for cocktails.

This is dark rum. If you are making a cocktail that calls for aged, don't use this.
If it calls for a dark rum, then yes. It's not dark you say? That's because they don't add coloring to it, but it is made with the dark rum method.
If you have a cocktail that calls for dark rum or dark (bleneded) Jamaican rum, this is a great ingredient. Some Jamaican rum is in it, but not enough to drown it in funk that makes your drink disgusting. Slightly sweet but not strongly. Caramel forward and smooth with a good balance of flavors and nothing strange or non-rum tasting from aging it France.

My go to dark rum for tiki drinks and everything else.

To be honest, it has been a while since I tasted this and my palette has evolved since then, so I will have to revisit it at some time.
That being said, I remember it as an awful sipper and a decent mixer (with cola).

Pre mňa málo sladké, maximalne tak do miešaného drinku, proste taký obyčajný rum.

An interesting rum with notes of cognac from the Cognac region.

I drink my rum straight usually and you can drink this straight. Nose is molasses as is the flavour.

Had this last night at our local brew pub. They use this as their well rum! Tasty fruit and brown sugar note. Kind of sweet, but not too much. I'll have to buy a bottle for myself.
