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

Product Information

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. 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 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: When it comes to the Daiquiri, that classic mix of rum, lime juice and sugar, choosing the right base spirit is crucial to crafting a standout serve – and you’d be hard pressed to find a bartender who doesn’t have an opinion on the best rum for the job.

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 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. Donate: Hampton + Hudson – Small Business Relief Fund, Relief for Hampton + Hudson STAFF, Michell Boyd on Venmo

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.

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. 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.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. 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.

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. Savor: The finish ends up being somewhat sweet as well, and some of the heat lingers. There’s a little less smoothness here, but a pleasant toasted sugar and slightly grassy note that lingers. 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

Veritas is bottled at 47% ABV. Like the recently re-vamped Doorly’s 3 Year Old. Interestingly, it was actually Diplomatico who first released a white rum at 47% ABV with their re-vamped white – Planas last year. It is more conventional for rum to be bottled at 40,43,46 and then 50% ABV. 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. 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.
