Plantation 3 Stars White
Vanilla up front, with sugarcane, a little citrus and a faint thread of Jamaican funk and glue underneath. This is a Maison Ferrand blend of Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad rum at 41.2%, and most people treat it as a mixer first. It's noticeably sweet and the finish is short, but it makes, as several put it, a killer daiquiri.
- Excellent in cocktails
- Vanilla and fruit
- Easy to drink

Review by Schnapsschuesse
In principle, the nice brother of Veritas. Quite mild on the nose, lots of green tones, lime, a touch of ester and otherwise fruity white.Comparatively sweet on the palate, but again clearly greener, slightly mineral and more intense in the earthy fruit notes, some tingling citrus notes there. Very casual Daiquiri Basic for all those Veritas, Tricorne, etc. are too special. Unbeatable in price.
Review by Trinkfluencer
At first it is woody and slightly toasty. After the back it spreads then fruity and sweetish without burning.

05.09.2025 Retasting and I still find it pretty good. ------------- I rarely drink white rums but this one is a good white that you can actually sip and enjoy. As with other white rums this one has to rest at least 15 minutes! A nice complex rum with depth and does very well for a 3 year old. Price to quality is very good.

Perfect to drink solo or to make cuba libre
Review by LukaŽiga
7,4:On the nose, light vanilla, oak, sweetness, a hint of funk in the aroma, smoky and spicy. While the aroma sounds nice on paper, it’s very, very light overall with most of the finer notes beaten down by the a boozy profile. Full, slick body. 7,6:On the palate, the attack is much sweeter than the aroma would lead you to believe but that heavy booze profile definitely exists, as well. The vanilla and slight Jamaican funk comes through here, too, smoky, spicy. 7:The finish is long on heat and quite sweet without flavor. It’s not really a good sipper, which is fine since that isn’t the point of this rum. But sipping it definitely dives that point home..

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is vanilla forward. Quite a lot of esters and a subtle citrus and white chocolate note. The palate has the vanilla from the nose but it's more mineral and less fruity. Some exotic woods. The finish is quite short. Vanilla and toasted coconut mainly. Overall its a decent white rum. I'm not too much of a fan of this mixed but it's very reasonably priced and not bad neat.
Review by Rumantisch
Ein toller Mix Rum für alle Cocktails oder einfach für die cola Preis-leistung ist hier verdammt gut Sollte auf jeder party fest eingeplant werden. Ich petsöhnlich nehme diesen Rum für fast alle Cocktails Perfekt um niemanden zu überfordern aber geschmacklich genug power um alles perfekt aufzuwerten. jeder war bisher begeistert von diesem Rum
Review by F.L.O.
Bester PLV Rum für Daiquiri oder andere Cocktails (Pink Lake, pink&stormy, Bloody sunrise,…). Gehen den Veritas schneidet er zwar schlechter ab, aber dafür kostet der veritas auch das doppelte. Von daher klare Mixempfehlung
Review by Nicolas Kröger
Die 80 Punkte basieren auf den Preis und seiner Berechtigung: guter Allrounder für Cocktails. Mit knapp 10g Zucker auf den Liter etwas zu süß.
Review by Jarrod Smith
Sweet buttery caramel with slight hazelnut.
Review by r___n___
This is by far the best rum I've tasted. I've tried this in cocktails and I can still taste the rum over the juices. Super smooth in cocktails. I tried it neat and it punched me, I guess I'm not yet used to tasting neat.
Review by rum_sk
On the 👃 you can distinguish the vanilla with a bit of woody notes, freshness represented by notes of citruses, 🍌, alcoholic odour is also very prominent which had me worried a little but that went away when I tasted the rum. On the 👅 you get immediate sweetness of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, coconut, cream brulee, sweet biscuits that you get with your coffee and just a small bit of alcoholic taste with bittery finish full of orange peel aroma. Tastes better than smells. Very good one and great in mixers especially in Daiquiri.
Review by Marcus Ekornes
I kniw this is irregular on this app, but in again raging this for what it is. It’s a neat perfect blender lightly sted rum. Excellent for sipping and excellent for cocktails. Makes a TOP TIER DAIQUIRI
Review by Rumbaer
Den habe ich immer in meiner Bar für Cocktails, Tiki (zusammen mit dem Planteray O.F.T.D.) und gern auch mal nen leichten Daiquiri. Zum puren Genuss eher nicht, das ist aber auch gar nicht der Anspruch dieses Blends. Er ist ein Mixer, und das macht er recht gut.
Review by Fauco
Great for mixing! I’ve tried sipping it and it wasn’t for me at all, but as a base in a drink it’s really great! 100% my go to white rum when I want to make rum basse drinks!
Review by Julien Ries
Un rhum très léger, fait pour la mixologie. Il remplace un rhum cubain en apportant un peu plus de complexité dans un daiquiri ou d'autres créations. Je lui préfère des rhums plus puissants comme le Veritas de Velier comme rhum à cocktails.
Review by wrighty03
So easy to drink, buttery, zero bite- special
Review by Rumpalumpa
Pretty good for a fairly inexpensive white rum. Naturally intended for mixing, although sugar has also been added, which doesn't really make sense. It's not a fruity ester bomb, but it can be used well in drinks without completely dominating them.
Review by Anonymous
The perfect mixing rum. Almost “not there” in a good way. I like to pair it with stronger rums with more character. Seems to smooth everything out a little. The price is impossible to beat for the flavor.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It still tastes, even when with cola young, rough and slightly harsh. It lacks the upfront sweetness of Bacardi Superior and I really don't think it offers anything noticeably better. I haven't reviewed a great deal of white rums but I do have a couple coming along which, I feel..."Read full review →
