The rum is from the Dominican Republic. Distilled from both molasses & sugar can juice. Shipped to the US for finishing. Crisp but still pretty smooth with hints of citrus and vanilla.
Smooth white rum that has some nice flavor that works well together. Crisp, expressive, on the sweeter side, this rum is aged from 1-2 years, so not a lot has happened in terms of complexity, or enhanced flavors, but worth paying 25$ or so. The burn may hold some drinkers back from drinking this neat, but adding an ice cube or letting it breath in your glass does alter its composition. This goes for all rums and whiskeys for that matter.
First I tasted this rum in drink called PlatΓ³nico (Atlantico platino, tonic, ice, sprig of thyme) and I liked it a lot. Then I tasted it straight and it surprised me with its sweetness and smoothness. Nice rum yet it seems a little overpriced to me.
if youΒ΄re searching for a white rum with sweetness, take the ride! the atlantico platino is best at doing mixtures with a mild and sweet rum. you can drink it pure without ice and hand warmed. nice try!
One of the only clear rums I've found, that actually has a flavor. We first picked a bottle of this up in Aruba, for my wife, because she drinks rum and cokes. Of course having drank, and enjoyed the Atlantico Private Cask, I sipped a bit of this neat. I was very surprised at how smooth it was, for a clear rum.
I've started using this when I make Mojitos, it's a very good mixing rum.
It is a little more expensive than Bacardi, so if your looking for a cheap mixer then this isn't for you.
I was traveling and by the time I arrived my only option for a much needed night-cap was a Friday's across from my hotel. I asked the bartender if they had any higher end rums. He showed me the Atlantico Plantino. Admitting he didn't know much about rum, he told me he heard it was "the Patron of rums." Let's start with this; it most certainly is NOT the Patron of rums.
OK, it's not awful. It's maybe slightly better than the standard Bacardi I was about to go with. I'm not a Bacardi basher. I think Bacardi 8 is one of the best values and under rated rums available. But the standard "Superior" is what you drink in high school and college - not once you come to appreciate great rum and can afford it.
I give the Atlantico one point above Bacardi Superior because it is reasonably smooth - again compared to Bacardi, not any great rum. But I'm not sure it is rum.
I can't say it's flavorless but I'll be damned if I can identify any specific flavors. Reading others' reviews that describe the chemical additives and calling it perfume hit home with me. It has a floral scent although not taste. While it doesn't taste bad, it really doesn't taste like rum, or anything else I can identify.
There's no chance I'd ever buy a bottle of this stuff but stuck at a Friday's with few options, I'd probably order again.
No chance I'd have more than 2 out of fear that whatever chemicals are in this stuff COULD give me a nasty hang over in the morning.
A gave it a 5, and that's generous, but Bacardi gets a 4 in my book and I'll stick with this is one notch better.
I had a great Mojitos at Victor's Cafe in NYC made with Atlantico. Prefer it to Bacardi Silver.
Another company trying to associate themselves with the rich Dominican rum legacy that has produced so many quality rums. Atlantico is not one of them. Weak profile and not much flavor.
I finally picked up a bottle of this today as only one small store in the city carries it around here. There were only a few left, after being on the shelve for quite a long time, and I doubt it will be reordered so I grabbed one.
One thing to note here is that Platino is aged part from cane juice the other part is molasses. It is aged in 2 different barrels then mixed. The platino does not include any solera aging like the 2 older dark rums. Platino is simply barrel aged 1-2 years.
The final note I have here to consider is that Platino ferments Aguardiente with either the cane juice, molasses or both. This is different than the 2 older dark rums these 2 rums are fermented, aged, barreled twice then put into solera system; and then after aging for some reason mixed with unaged Aguardiente before bottling. This in some way clearly adds flavor to this rum based on what the Aguardiente is made with which could be from what I have researched nearly anything. So upfront this rum is adding flavoring and otherwise modifying its profile using Aguardiente.
I tested this spirit neat as I always do. It is also recommended neat by the producer. The nosing was rather light to my surprise. No harshness and I moved across the glass from the top to the bottom I had several different scents from a very slight dried fruit to a moderate vanilla it was hard to detect anything to be honest due to the lightness of the overall scent.
The taste does not offer much more to be honest. The main note I get is Vanilla. It starts out rather tasteless then moves to a moderate vanilla middle to a slight alcohol taste going down. There is no burn to this rum it goes down and leaves the palate shortly from entering.
This is a rum I would probably not purchase again at its price point which is fairly stable at around 19.99 a bottle. I much prefer the bacardi 1909 limited heritage edition at a lower price for a white rum and a much more flavorful unedited kick which actually tastes like rum.
