Tasting Notes: It's that time of year whether for baked goods or egg nog, when people who know nothing about rum try to buy a bottle for this or that recipe and need a little help. Well have no fear, because the best aged rum under $30 is Plantation's Signature Edition 5yr old Barbados Rum. It has the perfect amount of natural spice and drinkability in a sipping rum but goes PERFECTLY with baked goods, egg nog, or any other thing that calls for "rum" in the recipe. Trust us, you'll love it.
