Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

The vanilla, spice and fragrance make this a top shelf “White” rum although as noted it appears filtered to a straw color. Against white rums it’s a 8+. It has added sugar so you want to alter your recipes to account for the sweetness. It is too sweet for my sipping rum taste thus the 7.

The taste is fruity, crisp and a bit nuty.
Hints of honey. I really love it in cocktails but it's only a- 7/10 for no depth of flavors.
I know that Plantation are often judged for the added sugar. I can't see what is wrong whit it, it opens up the flavors.

I'm aware that this isn't technically a white rum, but it has wonderful elements of Jamaican rum with a slight funk and a hint of caramel. There's definitely a bit of sweetness here, but it works in cocktails quite well.

Zapach: Aromatyczna wanilia, palony karmel, dość styrana beczka, ananas, cytrusy. Zapach nie jest lekki - trochę alkoholowy oraz przypominający ciemny rum.

Smak: Biała czekolada, wanilia, kremowa śmietanka, ciastka korzenne, dużo ananasa, wyraźna słodycz, cytrusy a na końcu wyraźne, lekko styrane beczki (nadające w niewielkim stopniu “klimat palonego plastiku”) oraz młody alkohol

Fajny rum w karaibskim klimacie nie będący (mimo sugerującego to wyglądu) rumem light. Jest aromatyczny oraz bogaty w aromaty, posiada wyraźny charakter który wyczuwalnie się odznacza w drinku. Choć czuć że jest młody to bogactwo aromatów skutecznie to maskuje. Mały plusik za bonus w postaci 41,2% mocy co dość rzadko sie w rumach zdarza.

Ocena: 71/100

First bottle of white rum that I drank almost entirely neat, made a couple of cocktails with ginger beer lime and ice and that was it. Worked nicely both ways but I wanted to experience it raw.

As per the nose and palate I got vanilla, banana and pear. The nose actually felt stronger that it was on the palate, which was really smooth for a white rum. Very well executed blend and I will def go back to it anytime soon.

taste - 4.5/10
smell - 5/10
sweetness - 6/10
price/value rating - 8/10

Really nice finish. Great blend of 3 rums. Deep flavour. Lovely bottle.

For the price, you will a hard time finding anything to match this for a mixer in a drink calling for lightly aged blended rum.

This is my go to for when my tiki cocktail calls for a white rum

Not 9n to have on its own , defiantly a cocktail rum . Prefer the jamivan mixeing rums but still good stuff
