Planteray (formerly Plantation) 3 Stars is is a blend of rums distilled in Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. Blended by the Cognac Ferrand master blender.
The Plantation 3 Stars Silver Rum is an excellent cocktail rum. It has a smooth complex candied flavour profile which is both interesting and delicious.
It’s an easy and reasonably tasty alcoholic shot to pour into whatever mix one had one hand, and can be sipped, I suppose, though it’s a bit too sharp for that, IMHO.
When mixed the rum doesn’t blow me away. 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.
Overall, pretty nice. This works great in a lot of cocktails and I honestly wouldn't think twice about drinking some neat, or over a cube. I bet this with some soda water and a slice of lime may be nice in the summer.
Nice mouth feel. Honey, coconut essence, lightly lactic and loaded with caramel. Lightly funky, but its very restrained.
Finish:
Short, but lots of flavor. Mild in the ethanol department, lots of coconut cream, lemon, mango, pencil shavings and honey.
