For me: 5 year Barbados, OFTD, Pineapple. The OFTD is such a really cool rum to play around with. The pineapple is a lovely rum to sip neat. The 5 year Barbados is my most used rum by a country mile. It's both fruity whilst really soft and caramel like. It works across so many cocktails, especially a daiquiri and an old fashioned.. Damn brilliant rums

Only discovered plantation for watching your videos steve. First one I tried was the OD. I also now have the 3 stars, 5 year and OFTD and I'd say those are my favourite 😊

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Haha. Cheers mate. Hope you’re well?

@bankssewell2463 Год назад

I’ve recently bought the Barbados 5 year and It’s outstanding. I’m a big El Dorado 12yr fan but that stuff I bought it maybe a month ago and it’s already more than halfway gone. It makes a mean mojito, which I was shocked, I dare you to try it. I usually use either The Real McCoy 3yr or Diplomatico silver rum, but it’s spicy and also tropical. I’ve had the Fuji, not my fav. I’m on the lookout for the 3 stars, because I haven’t had it and I love summery tiki drinks.

@AngelPuntero Год назад

3 stars and OFTD definitely staples for me Xaymaca is in my cabinet just because of Kevin Crossman blend, and that’s good enough reason!

@rogerborelli1483 Год назад

Original Dark, 3 Star, OFTD. For the price, these are my favorites, but I have tried the Stiggins, Barbados 5, Xaymaca, and the XO.

@christophe9602 11 месяцев назад

Your free pdf got me to pick up Plantation OFTD. I've been a fan of Plantation/Pierre Ferrand for a while and I've lost count of the amount of limited editions I've gone trough but for some reason I had never picked up any of their "cheaper" bottles. It's been great, both in cocktails and neat. Also, absolutely agree on the transparency part of it. That's what sold me on picking up Plantation in the first place. If you're paying €70 or over for a bottle of rum, it's reassuring to know the manufacturer is open about what you're buying. Granted, I've had great bottles that were priced higher and I know next to nothing about after a taster (SBS comes to mind), but I still give Pierre Ferrand some credit for that.

My favourites are XO, Stiggins and Gran Anejo, can’t wait to try the Cut & Dry if it ever gets here. But also like OFTD for Mai Tia’s, 3 Stars in Daiquiris so for me depends what occasion is and time of year. Thanks for all the advice Steve

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

@darrenodwyer8559 Год назад

I have the whole range here and the other (better) ;) Barbados Grand Reserve Signature range. I can't fault them. Even the OD is a staple work horse for me in my Mai Tai's. Decent dark(ish) rum. Nice video Steve! 1. XO (sipping) 2. Plantation 3 Stars ( Amazing Daiquiri) 3. OFTD (Mai Tai's)

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Do you honestly rate the Gran Reserve. Never tried it. But most people say it’s nowhere near as good as the Barbados 5yo.

@@StevetheBarmanUK actually on second tasting the 5 year is much better. Now i havent visited these in about a year or so my pallette has changed.the Grand Reserve is much lighter. The 5 year has a longer caramel finish. Its not bad in a daiquiri either

Do love the OFTD neat but it's very dangerous. Would probably be my only permanent restock. XO tasty but a bit sweet. Preferred the Barbados to the Gran Anejo.

@geraintlewis8194 Год назад

No big fan of Plantation but do enjoy the XO on occasion. Like you I do admire thier transparency, however they are not unique in this. Can I refer you to Renegade or anything made under the AOC"s in Martinique or Guadeloupe.

@joshuadecker1305 Год назад

Just ordered OFTD and Xaymaca for Mai Tais. Probably try 3 star for white rum cocktails. I usually just use bacardi.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Great shout Joshua. Let us know what you think of that Xaymaca. Deffo interested in your thoughts of that.

@joshuadecker1305 Год назад

@Steve the Barman alright so I finally got the Xaymaca today. Like I had originally planned to use in a mai tai. This past weekend i had been using a combination of OFTD and Appleton Estates, so now Im having one with OFTD and Xaymaca. I have to say it seems a little sweeter and overall more flavorful. Im using .5oz Orgeat and Cointreau with no other syrups. To me appleton estate mai tai was more balanced. But I like my drinks less sweet and more boozy. It's too sweet overall in cocktails for me. I have a Hemmingway taste. The 3 star seems like a good bacardi substitute. It has the richer flavor but it's clear, great for mojitos, daquiris etc. Also got a bottle of Virago 151 specifically for pina colads, as they're again too sweet.

@royhawkins6762 Год назад

My 3 would be XO, OFTD, & Stiggins Fancy.

@IntexCrocodile 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for review) I have one question. For couple years there was the rum in shops in my country, named "Plantation Original dark Double aged". But for a past year it was replaced by "Plantation Original dark Barbados Jamaica". Don't you know if the company did renaming of the product or not? I'm asking because we have a great problem of alcohol calcification in our country. Thank you very much.

@StevetheBarmanUK 7 месяцев назад

It's the same Rum... kind of. It should still have Double Aged on the label somewhere. However, I think I'm right in saying, a few years back it may have had Trinidad in the blend. These days it's very much Barbados & Jamaica. But we're talking quite a few years back. not a recent change. Probably 5+ years ago. Anyway, it will be the same rum as this is their Core range of Rums. They don't make different Rums for different markets in this range.

@Serious_Drinking 6 месяцев назад

1. 3 Stars (practically a steal for the money asked and you cannot go wrong with it for cocktails) 2. Stiggins Fancy (nice pineapple, still enough rum, maybe a little too sweet, works well in cocktails). 3. OFTD (can be used to “up” so drinks, however there are better alternatives from other brands).

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yeah Canerock kinda is Plantation. It’s not a specific Plantation brand. But it is Maison Ferrand, who own Plantation. So it kinda counts.

@robertflaxman6014 Год назад

The Xaymaca actually is not sweetened. Zero grams dosage, just a fractional amount of caramel color. I would recommend it as a good starter for someone looking to explore Jamaican rums, introducing your palate to what funk tastes like without blowing it away.

@ChrisJones-bp7ij Год назад

Which do you prefer out of the plantation gran anejo and the Cuban anejo suave?

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Even though their both finished in Sherry, they are completely different Rums. Like totally different and incomparable. Sauve is Sweeter and Cuban. The Guatemala quite Dry and Guatemala. Love them both equally. But it’s like comparing a Ford and a Toyota.

@numanuma20 6 месяцев назад

The smokey pineapple rum is the only Plantation rum I own and it is really good. I’m not a high dosed rum fan or flavored but this is one I plan to always have to mix with Reed’s Zero Sugar extra ginger beer. I just started on my rum journey so you would think I would fall for the spiced super sweet rums. Maybe being a wine fan makes me not like sweet and faked spice rum. BTW, Jamaican rum cannot have sugar added to the rum.

@StevetheBarmanUK 5 месяцев назад

Jamaican Rum CAN have sugar added… but only if it’s bottled outside of Jamaica. So any indie bottler basically can add Sugar. You have to remember, that’s a Jamaican Rule. Not a worldwide rule. Jamaican Rum bottled in the US for example can have Sugar.

@numanuma20 5 месяцев назад

@@StevetheBarmanUK I was told it couldn’t by a Jamaican. Here’s the thing, spirits don’t the acidity that I like in wine. It helps to balance the sweetness in such as port. Since there isn’t acidity in rum, the sugar added to a rum can taste cloyingly sweet.

@ChrisJones-bp7ij Год назад

Sorry meant to say the Ron cubay anejo suave

@0529mpb Год назад

OFTD is an on the rocks or straight up for me. It's a little too expensive to mix. The 1.75 liter handles of Three Star and OD are under $40 and are great for mixing.

@henryl.4999 Год назад

Factor in the abv and the oftd is not that expensive for mixing anymore. But I love it neat as well

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yeah. As Henry says. Typically the OFTD is your cheapest Rum for mixing out of the Range cos if you were doing 60ml of OD, then 37.5ml of OFTD would give you roughly the same. But I know some people do go like for like and make their cocktails Stronger.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Not for a better price, no. For Funk, Smith & Cross is a bargain. You’re talking upwards of £50 for Hampdens and Long Ponds. The only other shout is Rum Bar Gold for £20. Really decent…but doesn’t stand up to a Hampden for Funk.

@StevetheBarmanUK 9 месяцев назад

Very different Rums. Not swaps. Xaymaca has Jamaican Funky Tropicalness. The OD is just a decent all round blended Rum. 👍 For example, you wouldn’t use OD in a Mai Tai, but you wouldn’t use Xaymaca in a Hurricane. So they have different uses.
