If you are in need of a kind funk in your drinks, and it’s hard to get your hands on Smith&Cross or other tasty Jamaicans, this is a good choice.

I know Plantation is a bit of a controversial brand among rum aficionados, but this is genuinely a very nice offering from them. Oaky and fruity, it's unmistakably Jamaican while also being pleasantly smooth and refined. It's no hogo bomb like Smith & Cross, but there's definitely a bit of funk going on, certainly more so than Appleton Signature. This makes it very accessible and a great introduction to Jamaican rums for someone looking to move beyond Bacardi and Captain Morgan and explore the wider world of rum. Overall it's a very pleasant rum at a very attractive price point that works nicely as either a sipper or in a cocktail and I would definitely recommend picking up a bottle and trying it out if you haven't already.

Love the look of these string bottles. There is only a little of the Jamaican funk in the aroma. There is some industrial darkness in the aroma as well. I get lots of alcohol burn in the flavor at first but it mellows out quickly. This certainly is dry. Not the best rum for sipping on its own. Flavor: 6 Aroma 7,5 Bottle appearance: 10 Liquir appearance: 9,5

Dry rum with no hint of sweetness. Typical jamaican funkiness with notes of banana, raisin, and a hint of oak.

Light yellow in color. On the nose is very complex notes of oak, herbs, strong alcohol with bitter orange and a whiff of vanilla. Palate gives very sharp sting with alcohol and spices. Right after it gives a nice rush of again complex vary of floral notes and grounded nuts, exotic dry fruits too. Some distinct parfumy aroma lingers. Usually I like more sweet rums, but this still has great experience to offer.

A very special smelling expression from Plantation, but I found it dull and uninspired on the palate.

If there was ever a rum to confirm my dislike of Jamaican rum, this is it. If plantation cant a good rum out of Jamaica then I doubt anyone can. Smells bearable with that characteristic vegetative and acetone smell of jamaican rums but then just tastes of banana leaf. Save your money, and dont even buy as a mixer.

I really like the Plantation rums family. Slightly sweet, pleasant aroma. Perfect for sipping.

Hèhè, eindelijk weer een spelletjesavond en rum met vriendjes. Begonnen met een oude zachte bekende, en daarna een glas van deze ingeschonken. Hij ruikt best scherp, en zo blijkt hij ook te smaken. Na een poosje is de nasmaak wel ok, maar deze fles wordt niet nog een keer gekocht.

Smell of jungle, paint and tropic fruit. Diverse and funny for explore.
Not as expressive like some other Jamaican stuffs, but good example of that style.
Medium body, dry, feeling of sweetness from natural fruity character, some tannins...
Very good price quality. You can drink it neat, with coke, in cocktails...
Versatile rum for a good price.

deschizi dopul ... POOOP .. si un miros dulceag si vanilat umple pur si simplu incaperea )) miraculos, te chiama cu cantec de iele , sau de sirene; iti apropii narile nerabdator de pahar si .. hei, ceva e ciudat acolo, dar esti prea prins in mreje, avertismentul e prea vag sa te mai poata opri..

il degusti si simti cumva la fel , o inbiere din ce in ce mai ciudata, vanilie si ceva contimente parca, in mod sigur fructat (ananas?) , si cum inghiti.. poccc arsura si un gust astringent parca, zici ca i ceva putrezit acolo )) si totusi se inbina atat de bine, abia asta e ciudatenia )) in mod sigur te face sa ti doresti sa gusti si alte romuri jamaicane ) appletonul 12 din colectia mea cred ca a stat prea mult timp sigilat , i s a scris sentinta ))
