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.
White rum hasn’t featured a great deal on the site so far. This is something I am trying to address. Whilst white rum is often seen as mixing rum for cocktails such as the Daiquiri and the Mojito, I have noted that this and the El Dorado 3 Years Cask Aged have received favourable reviews by other reviewers.
Distilled in 2000 from the last Trinidad molasses and bottled in 2012. This rum from the famous Caroni Distillery has been bottled by Italian company Velier.
The wonders of the internet and high street phenomenon Black Friday led me to finally putting a bottle of VAT 19 into my shopping basket. UK based online retailer http://www.drinksupermarket.com had 20% off everything on sale. Drink Supermarket tend to stock less higher end products than most online booze merchants. So I was able to pick up a good few entry and lower level rums. They seem to focus on rum’s they can actually sell…….I’ve had a good few rums with a lot of dust on them from other retailers!
Much to my uncontrollable excitement Pusser’s Rum Ltd, recently re-vamped (and to be fair tidied up) their range of rums. This was done partly to introduce new expressions but also to avoid confusion caused by the numerous “Blue Label” versions on offer in varying territories.
Lemon Hart is a rum brand which as intrigued me for some time. Talked about regularly on websites devoted to rum, yet strangely absent from the country where it is blended and bottled. I’ve never come across a bottle of Lemon Hart rum in any store in the UK – ever. Only very recently I notice that The Whisky Exchange have recently begun stocking their Dark rum and the 151 proof. These rum’s seem very popular over the pond.
