Plantation Original Dark Double Aged Trinidad & Jamaica

Sweet, but I like it. I like every Plantation so far

A dark rum I use in cocktails - nose - some vanilla, banana, tropical fruits, hint of caramel or molasses - taste - light and sweet, bananas, a bit of the Jamaican funk - no heat - good sipper. Really good mixed with ginger beer and lime.

Aromas of caramel, vanilla, spice, barrel, and hints of hogo. Flavors of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, bananas and a woody hint.

I tried this rum a few years ago and thought it was ok, but recently I have discovered where it’s strength lies! Tiki drinks!

As a sipper it has some nice character and I can drink it neat or on the rocks, but there are others I prefer based on taste and a desire for a little more complexity.
It has a nice mouthfeel and subtle molasses sweetness with low heat. As the bottle indicates I can detect the sweetness of the Trinidad with the funkiness of the Jamaica in the blend. I do not detect a lot of oak, maybe just enough to notice if you try to pick it out.

This is what hits my palate perfectly in Tiki cocktails. I recommend a Hawai’i style Mai Tai with this rum as the only one (more often it is a combination of a light with a float of dark rum). This rum already is a wonderful blend of two rums that hold their character in a mixed drink so you get the sweetness of the fruit juices, rum flavor and funk all in delicious balance.

When you throw in the price point of ~ $20-25, this makes it a great choice and why I rate it an 8 overall.

Consider this for a tasty drink (Fresca grapefruit soda 2, Pineapple juice 1, orange juice 1, Orgeat 0.5, and Plantation Original Dark 1.5) mix over ice, stir, enjoy!

Great dark rum for cocktails or sipping. You will not go wrong especially for the price.

Rather just get the OFTD imo, it’s okay I guess…better options though

Funk up front and just above average finish. There are better spiced options out there.

Very good. All that a good rum must have. Vanilla, cold tea, fruit.

Love the vanilla notes. Very smooth and warming. Good as a sipper or use in a cocktail.
