In cocktails it never disappointed me, but it never impressed me either. It did the job. I could taste the rum in every drink, whitout it taking over to much. But hard to pin down the taste.Tried it neat once, tasteprofile; vanilla, fruity and a little hint of glue. Nothing special, nothing terrible. But since it just went on to do the job in every drink i mixed, i can not rate this lower than 7 points. But still, not much to say about taste and smell.

I do like some plantation 3 star. Great for sipping neat or in any cocktail where white rum is needed. Awesome value.
Best white rum you can get. Loved this rum a whole lot
Not as multidimensional as Vertias.
But still a solid white rum for cocktails.

En dejlig hvid rum der kan bruges til det meste i baren. Er ikke god som sipper.

Bought this for Mojitos, absolutely love it in them. Burns a little too much for me to drink neat, but if you’re looking for something to mix with, look no further! Incidentally also great for making vanilla extract and subsequently creme brûlée.
EDIT: Having tasted some more rums, I'm deciding to bump this up to an 8 because of its price to performance: I can get this for 13.90 €, and at that price I don't think it can be beat. I wish it tasted a little bit more intense, but at that price it's still a great performer.

Last time I was able to find it I bought four bottles for all my white rum mixing needs. Not a true young white rum but an aged rum filtered over Charcoal.

From what I have read this rum is a blend of unaged rum from Barbados and Jamaica, three year old rum from Trinidad. and a twelve year old rum from Jamaica all of which is carbon filtered leaving a clear rum. Apparently the carbon filtering removes much of the oak tones from the aged rums in the blend. This leaves a rather smooth yet somewhat sweet white rum. The rum is rated at 41.2% ABV or 82.4 proof which is just a tad stronger than the typical 80 proof rum. The aroma in the glass and in the bottle is rather of simple alcohol with subtle hints of things I really cannot identify (I'm not all that good at figuring out smells) but the flavor is quite delightful. I detect molasses and vanilla in the flavor with a bit of a burn that fades into a sweet caramel aftertaste. Another winner from C. Ferrand. This could be used as a sipping rum if you're in a bind but it is better suited as a mixer. And at under $25 (U.S.) a bottle it is a very, very good bargain.
