Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal

Being a Plantation aficionado, I had to taste this. Unfortunately for us in Quebec, apart from the winters, it means getting the 3 stars through an elaborate mix of private import agency and state controlled process.
Luckily I am quite stubborn and last summer I ended ordering two cases of the stuff and sharing it with my friends. It was indeed a hit and a unanimous winner. So much so that a month latter I order two additional cases.
Everyone agreed it could easily be sipped on the rocks, with some nice tropical aromas of bananas and mango. I personally made the best cuban classics (Mojitos and Daiquiris) with it.
I think the best result was one my friend having the brilliant idea of mixing this in a freshly opened coconut (the fresh ones cut and wrapped, not the old fibrous ones) with some ice.
I'm sure most people reading this know about the elaborate process to create this white rum. To be honest, the only white rum approaching this quality is the Diplomatico Blanco Reserva, and it's practically twice the price.
Let's just say Plantation nailed it again.

I am currently drinking this as a Lime and Honey Daiquiri (try it if you never have!) and it is fantastic! It puts most other white rums to shame. You almost want to sip rather than mix.

An excellent choice in a moderately priced rum. Smooth and very good straight up, superior in any kind of rum-based cocktail. If you haven't tried it yet, find some now!

In my opinion this is one of the best white rums out there. It is really smooth and sometimes I like to sip it. Especially in cocktails it starts to shine, so i recommend to everyone to give this rum a try.

Samler normalt kun på mørke rum, men da jeg nu har mange af de andre plantation i serien, så måtte jeg lige havde denne med,

Nice smell, too alcoholic in mouth.
Very good mixer.

Always a solid choice for a light rum. Plantation makes some amazing runs great for mixing and this is no exception.

Clear rum with good taste. Not a strait rum but good with coke

smooth sailing with this white rum from plantation, fruity floral scents. Smooth sweet taste with a light vanilla finish. This is close to or as good as Bacardi gran reserva

Given comments below, I had high expectations of this rum. Sure, it's smooth and soft, but the taste of caramel is to strong for me.
