Atlantico Platino

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.

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

Nose: not much; some sugar cane and vanilla maybe.
Palate: smooth, warm, some sweetness - and very poor taste, which is not surprising for an only 18 months old rum (couldn't they just wait a little longer?)
As others stated before, this one might be a good mixer. Drinking it neat is pretty unspectacular.

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.

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.

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

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.

Taki słaby jednak słaby i takie ładnie pachnie i już

I was traveling and by the time I arrived my only option for a much needed night-cap was a Friday's across from my hotel. I asked the bartender if they had any higher end rums. He showed me the Atlantico Plantino. Admitting he didn't know much about rum, he told me he heard it was "the Patron of rums." Let's start with this; it most certainly is NOT the Patron of rums.

OK, it's not awful. It's maybe slightly better than the standard Bacardi I was about to go with. I'm not a Bacardi basher. I think Bacardi 8 is one of the best values and under rated rums available. But the standard "Superior" is what you drink in high school and college - not once you come to appreciate great rum and can afford it.

I give the Atlantico one point above Bacardi Superior because it is reasonably smooth - again compared to Bacardi, not any great rum. But I'm not sure it is rum.

I can't say it's flavorless but I'll be damned if I can identify any specific flavors. Reading others' reviews that describe the chemical additives and calling it perfume hit home with me. It has a floral scent although not taste. While it doesn't taste bad, it really doesn't taste like rum, or anything else I can identify.

There's no chance I'd ever buy a bottle of this stuff but stuck at a Friday's with few options, I'd probably order again.

No chance I'd have more than 2 out of fear that whatever chemicals are in this stuff COULD give me a nasty hang over in the morning.

A gave it a 5, and that's generous, but Bacardi gets a 4 in my book and I'll stick with this is one notch better.

Strong hints of chocolate on the front end and then a slight burn on the back end. Better than the mass produced stuff
