I personally think that the other 3 distilleries are on the right track and Maison Ferrand are wrong about the GI. Plantation 3 Stars white rum is named for the three stars of Caribbean rum production, namely Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica.The overall assertiveness of presentation isn’t very intense—it is only 80 proof, after all—but it is actually nicely complex. Rather than the big sugars (brown sugar, caramel, etc) on the nose of many of these rums, this one has more of a woody and floral complexion, with flowers and fragrant oak, met by resin, herbals and something like mint. All in all, the individuality of this brand certainly makes it stand out in the Plantation lineup, and it’s a good introduction to more funk-driven Jamaican brands.

Fine for a vague origin blended rum or a Navy rum listed as produce of the Caribbean is fine cocktails. It is flavoured with pineapple from rinds and fruit and aged for three months in oak casks before being bottled.

The taste buds is meet with the initial sweetness followed with some vanilla and a bit of cask notes. Don’t judge, but aside from enjoying neat, I also discovered this rum works incredibly well with a rum a coke too! Majitel značky Alexander Gabriel nejprve doslova vzkřísil luxusní koňak Pierre Ferrand (ještě v roce 1989) a aby využil vzácných sudů, kde tento božský mok zrál, rozhodl se, že v nich budou pokračovat rumy. On the nose of this one there’s plenty of brown sugar and some grilled pineapple, although it’s not particularly punchy—I genuinely think that if you gave this to someone blind and told them that it was simply “aged rum,” they wouldn’t suspect that there had been actual pineapple involved.

On the palate, this is certainly dry as promised, with prominent notes of melon, apple and white grape, met by a bit of resin. I was pleasantly surprised, then, to find that this is actually quite subtle as pineapple rums go, defined not by candied fruit flavors but by little hints of pineapple layered atop what is otherwise a blend of 3 Stars and Original Dark. It’s a fairly well-rounded profile that is perhaps slightly more booze-forward than it should be at a modest 80 proof, but it drinks easily neat nonetheless.
