Overall an OK rum that probably serves well in drinks like Dark’N’Stormy. Had a glass of this rum after a better dinner at Såstaholms Castle. There’s several different Plantation Original Dark with different origins. I’ve seen at least 3, Trinidad, Trinidad & Jamaica and Barbados & Jamaica. This one, Barbados & Jamaica, contains 1-3 year old Barbados rum and 10-15 year old Jamaica rum. The distillate is aged in charred American oak barrels before transported to France for some more aging, this time in former Cognac oak barrels.
Very good as a mixer goin from you basic rum cola, dark & stormy to some much more complex cocktails. The tabacco and smoked from the bourbon barrels give this rum a very unique caracter. A bar keeper - keeping it in stock all the time
Pure not bad but a bit too boring and watery. Smell somewhat alcoholic but "better"/more exciting than the taste. Very short finish.Was often recommended to mix with cola, but for me much too sweet and "dark", the fresh is missing.As part of a Mai Tai but very tasty!
It knows how to beguile immediately with its sweet, fruity nature on the nose. Quickly captivated, fruit and wood notes are found in the beginning, which quickly give way to the predominant honey flavor. In the finish even slightly smoky is reminiscent of a weak Jamaican. Price / performance hit for beginners and cocktail fans.very pleasing Sipper.
