Atlantico Platino

What a pleasant surprise. This is the best white rum I have tasted. The odor is very strong alcohol ish. So you fear the worst. However it is actually a great rum. Taste is somewhat neutral but not bad like most other whites. The aftermath is short and intense. A genuine great experience. I would recommend this rum as a mixer.

I liked this better as a sipping rum, than using it in a Daiquiri. Too much vanilla on the palate, which totally dominated the Daiquiri.

In the nose there are hints of spices and fruits.
On the palate you can recognize chocolate on the first sip. Lately there is toffee and vanilla - way too much vanilla.
This is not really a sipper, but sure can be good for some mixing.
Rating would better if there was not so much annoying vanilla.

Lucka 18 i romkalendern 2017, betyget sammanfattar allt.

Inte så mycket doft och smak. (Kan bero på min snuva?). Mild och lättdrucken dock. Kort eftersmak.

Tasted on Memorial Day at Laka Lono, 5/29/22
Notes indicate that I sipped and then had it made into a daiquiri, aka a KatDax.
from the notes: Delicious! but this could be because it is in daiquiri form.
8/10
EDIT
Apparently I was not paying attention, because I also tasted this June 12, 2022 and this time I only gave it 2/5 bottles of rum in my passport resulting in a downgraded rating of 6/10
Notes from this tasting: Vanilla!! So hot. But vanilla. But it is hot. Always drink this mixed with something
(so the first rating was correct, it was the daiquiri form that made it shine)

Riecht sehr nach Alkohol. Geschmack anfänglich auch; anschließend einen süßen Vanillegeschmack.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 1/21/20. Pours clear. Birthday cake aroma. Big vanilla sweetness. This is so tasty it makes me reset on clear non-agricole rums.
Retasted- 4/16/23 - my.above notes are spot on! Paired it with a draw of Pacifico beer and called it “A&P.”

I'm normally a bit apprehensive about white rum, but this is a different creature. Very light on the nose, just a subtle sweet coconut (pina colada) aroma. The taste is smooth, like softly flavoured water. No detection of alcohol, just a subtle sweet fruit tastes quickly replaced by a subtle dry malt taste. Very pleasant and smooth!

Got a dram of this in the advent calendar. Can imagine this being really great in a Cocktail.
