Smells ok, but with the usual Plantation trademark sugar/orange/coco smell. Rum has added sugar in it. does not offer any excitement.

Doft av apelsin. Len och mild, lite kryddig i smaken. Smakrik för en blank rom.

Tastes wayyy too funky for me, if you smell it from far away or happen to get some splashed onto your hands it actually spells a little bit like poop or diarrhea water believe it not... super funky. also the cork cap they were using flaked off inside of the alcohol and its full of little bits of cork, probably wont be buying a bottle of this ever again. when i do drink this i either do shots or make mixed drinks.

I really do taste the melding of "The Three Stars" - the fruity banana, the spiciness, the nuttiness, the touch of citrus... Its rather delicate, as most aged whites can be, but showcases its power and finesse quite well in daiquiris or even neat (give it some time to breath, and you will be rewarded).
I like it a lot. Expertly blended to make something unique, and delicious.

Light funk/ hogo and peppery burn. Aroma of sweet corn and fruitiness of mango from the glass.
Slightly heavier in body for a white rum with a light funk, oily and grassy notes which is quite a surprise. Guava and tartness of sour mango towards complement the funky notes.
It finishes with a touch of burn from alcohol. Fruitiness of guava and banana lingering but it didn't last long.
Great for mixing or on its own.

Všechny bílé rumy, co jsem dosud kdy ochutnal (všelijaké Havana Cluby apod.), mi přišly odporné a samostatně zcela nepoživatelné (a jelikož koktejly nerad, tak zcela nepoživatelné). S tímhle si dovedu představit, že by se dal strávit uspokojivý, i když ne bůhvíjak radostný večer. Na rozdíl od tak 90% jiných destilátů této cenové kategorie.
O vůni není ani řeči - nejblíž to má k lepší vodce. Zato chuť je opravdu překvapivá, jemná, sladká, příjemná a přitom naprosto nechemická (ať už je to v reálu udělané z čehokoliv). Je ale, pravda, poněkud fádní.
Jako překvapivě dobrý nápad se ukázalo smíchat to s Plantation Original Dark, ať už in natura, nebo prostě jen prokládat panáky. Dark tomu přidá voňavost a chuť, 3 Stars jemnost a sladkost. Pro vyčerpanou peněženku rozhodně zdaleka nejlepší rumový mejdan, jaký se dá za ty prachy pořídit.

Alkohol: 41,2 %
Původ: Jamajka, Barbados, Trinidad / Francie
Aroma: Vodka, čistý líh, ale je tu i kořenitost a vanilka, trochu svěží větrovosti, hřebíček. Nic světoborného, ale ani nepříjemného. (76 b)
Chuť: V chuti je oproti vůni výrazně lepší. Bílá čokoláda, krémový dojem na jazyku, kořenitý a jemně nasládlý. (84 b)
Body: 80
Shrnutí: Ochutnávali jsme s kamarádem na dalším degustačním večeru v českolipském Baru/Kavárně Kocour. Hlavní jádro ochutnávky tvořily čtyři Plantationy, k tomu novinka od Diplomática - Mantuano, pak jsme zkusili El Ron Prohibido Habanero a na úplný závěr pak pouťovou atrakci RedRum. 3 Stars od Plantationu nezklamal, na bílý rum je v chuti zajímavý a dobře pitelný, ale z mého pohledu hodně doplácí na nevýraznou vůni.
That was my first white rum and I rate it average. I was drinking version Plantation Original Dark Double Aged and tested me better as the white.
Ok so it's not a sipping rum cause it's white.... Or is it? When you hold this rum up to light you'll notice a very off clear color almost between a light and a white rum. The taste neat is fruitful, although strong, it is nowhere near that of any white I have come across, in fact it's better then a lot of "dark" rums when it comes to its ability to be sipped. Mixed is where it shines beautiful in mojitos and even better in coke. Right now this has been my go to for cocktails.

There's a reason this rum stands above all others in its category. Plantation knows what they're doing here, and they're indeed doing it well. A blend of young and aged rums, filtered to remove most—but not all—color, leaving much of the original "character" intact. (In the bottle it's a very light straw color—not completely "white"). The end result is that this rum is far more interesting than most other "white" rums, and it's actually sippable!
There is only the faintest whiff of alcohol on the nose, accompanied by glimpses of flavors more commonly associated with aged rum. On the palate, the rum is sugary and delicious. A fan of dryer rums, I find this one not overly sweet, but it's a close call. Plantation has added minimal sugar (by their standards), though, as always, I don't think it needs it.
In color and flavor I might compare it to 10 Cane (Trinidad, 7-), though I don't currently have a bottle handy, and it costs nearly twice as much per oz. So the 3-Star is the clear winner there.
Of course, it's primary intended use is as a mixer. Here it performs admirably! Falling somewhere between a traditional "white" and "gold/dark" rum in flavor profile, one strapped for bar space could potentially use it as both. But more likely it will be used when "white" rum is called for. As such the results are delicious, though I can't help but think that I'm adding more body or sweetness than the recipe-maker originally intended. Hence, I would recommend stocking a bottle of this, as well as a lighter, dryer offering, such as Flor de Cana 4 Extra Seco (oh, yes, and W&N Overproof, because, seriously).
All in all, pretty solid. An 8 or a 9 against its peers. But it is rather sweet, and I still can't shake the thought that I'm somehow not honoring classic recipes by using it... maybe I'll get over that someday, and adjust my rating accordingly. It truly is a value white rum for people who actually taste what they mix with. We could use more of those!
