Plantation 3 Stars: A Multi-Island Masterclass

Finn OBrien — Exceptional aged sipping rum

8/10

Rich amber colour and a nose that fills the room — vanilla, coconut, and toasted oak. On the palate it's smooth and weighty with flavours of toffee, ripe mango, and a beautiful cinnamon warmth on the finish. You can taste every year in the barrel. One of the best bottles I've opened this year.

Kenji Watanabe — A blend that actually works

9/10

The concept of blending rums from Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad sounds like a marketing gimmick, but it genuinely delivers something special. You get Barbadian smoothness, Jamaican funk, and Trinidadian lightness all in one glass. The nose has banana and vanilla, the palate is clean but complex. Superb.

Priya Sharma — Bartender's secret weapon

8/10

I'm a bartender and this is what I reach for when someone orders a Daiquiri. The multi-island blend gives it layers that single-origin whites just can't match. There's a lovely coconut and vanilla undertone with just a whisper of Jamaican funkiness. Makes everything better.
