Atlantico Platino

N- Clean, light and soft. Cocoa, mineral, vanilla and roasted nuts whispering from miles away, so this one neither catch nor wow you with anything dominant. Spirit notes of sweet pepper and eucalyptus at the edge but remains rather harmless. (84/18)

P- Rounded and velvet, well behaved vanilla and citrus, gently sweet and clean. (82/17)

F- Short, go down quietly and easily. Its sweet but not syrupy, simple, proper and delightful just to sips. (84/18)

Body/Balance- 85/19

Weighted Rate- 72pt

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.”

bin kein kenner was weissen rum angeht.. aber er ist der beste den ich bisher probiert habe. warum? er ist fruchtig zitruss.. und nicht spritig!!

I finally picked up a bottle of this today as only one small store in the city carries it around here. There were only a few left, after being on the shelve for quite a long time, and I doubt it will be reordered so I grabbed one.

One thing to note here is that Platino is aged part from cane juice the other part is molasses. It is aged in 2 different barrels then mixed. The platino does not include any solera aging like the 2 older dark rums. Platino is simply barrel aged 1-2 years.

The final note I have here to consider is that Platino ferments Aguardiente with either the cane juice, molasses or both. This is different than the 2 older dark rums these 2 rums are fermented, aged, barreled twice then put into solera system; and then after aging for some reason mixed with unaged Aguardiente before bottling. This in some way clearly adds flavor to this rum based on what the Aguardiente is made with which could be from what I have researched nearly anything. So upfront this rum is adding flavoring and otherwise modifying its profile using Aguardiente.

I tested this spirit neat as I always do. It is also recommended neat by the producer. The nosing was rather light to my surprise. No harshness and I moved across the glass from the top to the bottom I had several different scents from a very slight dried fruit to a moderate vanilla it was hard to detect anything to be honest due to the lightness of the overall scent.

The taste does not offer much more to be honest. The main note I get is Vanilla. It starts out rather tasteless then moves to a moderate vanilla middle to a slight alcohol taste going down. There is no burn to this rum it goes down and leaves the palate shortly from entering.

This is a rum I would probably not purchase again at its price point which is fairly stable at around 19.99 a bottle. I much prefer the bacardi 1909 limited heritage edition at a lower price for a white rum and a much more flavorful unedited kick which actually tastes like rum.

The rum is from the Dominican Republic. Distilled from both molasses & sugar can juice. Shipped to the US for finishing. Crisp but still pretty smooth with hints of citrus and vanilla.

Glasklar mit Silber Reflexen im Glas.
In der Nase, frisch geerntete Zitrusfrüchte mit frisch geschlagenem Eichenholz, eine schöne Kombination.
Im Gaumen fällt Einem sofort die Süsse auf, kandierte Früchte und Zuckerrohr.
Im Abgang ganz ok.
Ein super Mix-Rum der auch pur noch erträglich ist.

Crystal clear with silver reflections in the glass.
In the nose, freshly harvested citrus fruits with freshly cut oak, a nice combination.
On the palate, immediately recognize to the sweetness, candied fruits and sugar cane.
In the finish ok.
A great mix rum that is also possible to sip.

This is a very good light rum for mixing in cocktails. It has a very tame flavor and will mix well with about anything.

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.

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

Sampled the Blanco expression from Atlantico at the Cardiff Rum Festival having already been familiarised with the brand having received the Reserva as part of the Craft Rum Discovery subscriptuon service back last year.

It's a standard cocktail mixing rum. At £29 It's a tad pricey for what it is. Nose is clean and crisp a touch of sweetness. Vanilla and spice in the mouth a touch of firiness
