Tasted this rum at a restaurant after having a typical Swedish Christmas buffet.
It’s a blend of rum from Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad with 10gpl added sugar.
The nose is spicy, fruity, vegetal with hints of arrack and banana.
In mouth, at the palate and during medium long finish it’s sweet, vegetal and spicy with tastes of tropical fruits and arrack.
Overall a quite bland rum that can’t compete with the best ones.
Picture: The bottle and my poured glass at at the restaurant.
In cocktails it never disappointed me, but it never impressed me either. It did the job. I could taste the rum in every drink, whitout it taking over to much. But hard to pin down the taste.Tried it neat once, tasteprofile; vanilla, fruity and a little hint of glue. Nothing special, nothing terrible. But since it just went on to do the job in every drink i mixed, i can not rate this lower than 7 points. But still, not much to say about taste and smell.

I do like some plantation 3 star. Great for sipping neat or in any cocktail where white rum is needed. Awesome value.
Best white rum you can get. Loved this rum a whole lot
Not as multidimensional as Vertias.
But still a solid white rum for cocktails.

En dejlig hvid rum der kan bruges til det meste i baren. Er ikke god som sipper.

Bought this for Mojitos, absolutely love it in them. Burns a little too much for me to drink neat, but if you’re looking for something to mix with, look no further! Incidentally also great for making vanilla extract and subsequently creme brûlée.
EDIT: Having tasted some more rums, I'm deciding to bump this up to an 8 because of its price to performance: I can get this for 13.90 €, and at that price I don't think it can be beat. I wish it tasted a little bit more intense, but at that price it's still a great performer.

I know a lot of folks really adore this rum, so I might be in the minority here.... Unfortunately, I find it quite molasses-dominant in both the nose and palette, with little else going on for me. I don't particularly enjoy sipping it (but it is smooth, and goes down easily). Even in mixed cocktails I find that molasses to be somewhat overbearing. The Daiquiri is my favorite cocktail, and this barely passes for me in that drink. I prefer many other light rums to this one for the Daiquiri. It is a reasonable value though, and everyone should try it. I don't regret buying it, and I'll keep mixing it into other cocktails to give it a chance to find a place in my bar. Perhaps I'll be back to adjust this review at some point. I really did want to love this rum, but I'm not there just yet!
