Plantation - 3 Stars White Rum 70cl, 41.2% ABV, Barbados, Jamaica & Trinidad

Product Information

Plantation 3 Star is a delicious white rum that goes great in a Daiquiri or a Mojito — it’s just sweet enough.” — Ellen Talbot, Lead Bartender, Fable Lounge, Nashville, Tenn. Hands down the Appleton Estate Signature Blend! It’s slightly aged and you can make any tiki drink with it.” — Fred Dex, Master Sommelier/Wine Entertainer/Founder, Taste Like a Master, Brooklyn In terms of other white rums I have enjoyed such as Chairman’s Reserve White Label and Appleton White this is more grown up – more “sophisticated”. It has more complexity and subtlety. It bridges a nice gap between fairly standard 40% ABV white rum and the brain exploding 55% and above Overproof rums.

There are a few white rums out there that have attempted to blend together various rums from various islands – Banks 5 Island Blend and Plantation’s 3 Star. I don’t think either of those really run this close at all, to be honest. The rum used can totally change the profile of a Daiquiri as it’s the most potent component. A raw and grassy rum will impact differently to something clean and column distilled. Whilst this is noted as being a white/silver rum, you will also note from the photo’s that Veritas has a yellow-ish haze to it. It is not ruthlessly filtered. The actual components of the rum are as follows:Donate: Hampton + Hudson – Small Business Relief Fund, Relief for Hampton + Hudson STAFF, Michell Boyd on Venmo Smell: The nose starts off with a great amount of pineapple and miscellaneous tropical fruit. There’s something candied like about it – almost like a white coconut. There are notes of alcohol and subtle vanilla, banana (both ripe and green), and marzipan that also waft out.

This is really quite a complex rum, it starts off all Jamaican and then gently blends into the Bajan rum. Giving you quite a two-dimensional experience. That doesn’t really work – but I’m sure you get what I’m trying to say. This is a fairly sweet white rum – for one which is undosed of course. The finish is light and warming, with enough spiciness to keep things interesting. It fades out nicely but has a reasonable length that said. Sweet sugar cane and toffee with some ginger giving it a little zing. It all works very well and has a great balance to it. The Jamaica Pot Still influence doesn’t overpower the overall feel of the rum. Plantation 3 Stars is a white rum from the French based bottling giant Plantation . The name is coined from the 3 “stars” of the Caribbean from which the rum is obtained. Namely Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. As with most of the Plantation rums there is no age statement. WARNING: be VERY careful handling dry ice – do not let it touch exposed skin. We use gloves and tongs to transfer into each glass. You only need a very small sliver to create the effect. If you add to much, the drink will start to freeze.

With just three ingredients, the simple serve really allows a rum to shine. “There’s nowhere for the spirit to hide, and it usually stands there pretty naked,” Aljaff says.

Plantation 3 Stars: the double ageing process gives it layers and fruity notes, more so than others. Its slightly higher ABV makes it easier to present a full-bodied Daiquiri. My favourite part of it is the aftertaste, with lovely vanilla, coconut and passion fruit.” Veritas – The Truth. Another lesson in Latin from Richard Seale of Foursquare Rum Distillery. Veritas is a White Blended rum from a Coffey Still and a Pot Still.

One favourite is Veritas from Foursquare distillery, made with a blend of three rums coming from Foursquare and Hampden Estate. It gives the Daiquiri the right amount of exotic notes, you feel the green and the fruits, grass and bananas. It makes the Daiquiri a really complex drink.” Slice each lychee fruit in half, then place a blueberry in the opening of each lychee fruit, place in an ice cube tray, fill with water and freeze. 💭 Expert Tips and FAQs Sip: The palate is soft and round – it begins smoothly with plenty ripe plantain, touches of marzipan, toasted sugar, and subtle tropical fruit notes. A touch of almost argicole like green herb hides at the edge, and a gradual heat builds. There’s also a good amount of sweetness throughout. It is unique in that it is a blend of rums from the Coffey Column still and Pot Still at Foursquare and the Double Retort Pot Still rum at Hampden Estate, in Jamaica.

If you think about it, the Daiquiri is a drink with only three ingredients, that’s why the choice of the rum is really important, it will give the character to the drink. It is distributed in Europe by Velier. As you can see from the photo, this is inspired by Luca Gargano. It also takes time to show us the Guardians of Rum shield on the front of the bottle. This is a white rum that is making a statement. White rum does not have to be average.

In honour of National Rum Day today (16 August), we’ve tapped some of the world’s best bartenders for their favourite bottlings to use in a Daiquiri. Bartenders from the world’s top venues gave us their rum recommendations It’s clear that Plantation relied heavily on the Trinidad rum for its 3 Stars rum as it the most dominant on the nose and in the taste. It is balanced well, though, with some of the notes from the Barbados rum and just a dash of Jamaican, whose presence is felt a little more on the nose than in the palate. We would have liked to have seen the Barbados and Jamaican rums shine through a little bit more, especially in the midpalate and finish. Their rum is unique in the sense that it is made using traditional methods and aged in oak barrels, giving it a distinct flavor profile that is unlike any other rum. Well-rounded flavor profile: Ginger beer and rum add spiciness, cherry and lime juice contribute a great tart flavor, and grenadine rounds everything out with a nice touch of sweetness.
