The Plantation Original Dark Rum, from Maison Ferrand, is crafted by blending rums from multiple countries, distilled from molasses using both pot and column stills. Users frequently enjoy its pleasant vanilla and honey aroma, complemented by a touch of tropical fruit and woody hints. On the palate, this rum offers a sweet, vanilla-forward profile with woody undertones and traces of brown sugar.

"Exciting rum. Aroma of honey and fruit. Taste of caramel and dried fruit. The taste is intense and slightly roasted dark tones. Price-performance ratio is definitely right. There are plenty of better ones. But for this price also a lot worse"

"A sweetened blend with a round appearance, definitely with Jamaica content. Lots of fruit with honey and some smoky wood. In the mouth dominantly sweet and round, at the same time woody spicy with spicy tobacco. Almost complex! Well, but the finish is the weakest, as it somehow tastes artificially like caramelized strawberry or banana. Nevertheless, for the price actually quite a good entry-level rum."

"06.2024 First impression: aromatic and fruity, beautifully clear honey-colored, inviting Nose: banana, pineapple, honey Palate: the alcohol now pushes ahead of the fruit, followed by a little wood, coffee and roasted aromas Finish: the alcohol dominates here too, albeit at a low level Overall impression: I like the nose better than the taste. I prefer to use it in hot cocoa. It remains at the original rating of 7.0 2020 Quite decent on its own but not particularly impressive. Powerful blender. I discovered it as a really good addition to hot cocoa."

"Bought in duty free as a mixer and sipper. Good PLV and something different from Havana."
