Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum

This is a coconut rum but not a low avb artificially flavored one. This is a Barbados rum with real coconut flesh used to get the flavors and it works fantastically. Smell and taste coconut is in the forefront, but also chocolate, and hints of spice. Great to just sip, haven't tried anything else with it yet but I'm sure it would work well as a mixer.

As soon as the rum is in the glass I think I have a plate full of fresh coconut macaroons in front of me, coconut ^3! On the palate there is a slightly grassy note but the coconut flavors continue to give full steam! The finish is surprisingly long and - surprise! - is dominated by coconut! For what it is, it's excellent and a great addition to pina coladas and other exotic cocktails!

I want to cry at how good this is.

It is of course difficult to evaluate this rum apart from honest quality rum. But if you dare, I have to admit that among the many coconut rums available, this one stands out with its bombastic nose. Very nutty and lots of cocoa! You can buy it as a liqueur rum, which I have since done. However, it seems that the rum changes quickly (negatively) in the bottle, so it's better to drink it quickly.

Surprising not too Sweet,

Goûté pour la première fois au rhumfest, ce spiritueux à base de rhum m a beaucoup plu. C est un véritable bounty dans le verre. Le goût ne fait pas du tout chimique. J ai une bouteille dans mon bar pour les cocktails ou à offrir à ceux qui préfèrent des digestifs plus faciles à boire .

Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. 1 an ou presque depuis que je me dis "je vais pas aimer ça sert à rien de gouter ça"... ben en fait j'ai raté quelque chose. La coco est très marquée, dense, épaisse, mais sans être écoeurante. Je pense en prendre une bouteille à l'occasion pour pimper des cocktails ou avec un peu de glace de temps en temps. On est la pour la gourmandise, pas pour le rhum :)

Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. For me, this was one of the positive surprises of the tasting. The story behind it is very interesting. Sure, it will never be one of my favorites, but I think you could mix good cocktails with it.

I am not a fan of sweet rums or elixirs, but I'm really enjoying this one. The combination of Barbados rum and coconut is a great match. And unlike similar spirits, the coconut taste does not seem artificial to me, it is really almost like a coconut in a bottle.

Super round and delicious coconut rum from Barbados and not too sweet! It's great in drinks and tastes very authentic and intense with roasted coconut chips and a little dark chocolate. Pleasantly "dry" and strong, if you can call it that. PLV could be 5-10€ cheaper in my opinion, but it's only coconuts from Barbados and therefore a really "sustainable" coconut rum.

After the B-Monster, somehow the highlight of the masterclass with Alexandre! Awesome coconut, it tastes like liquid bounty! Not 8.0 points by normal standards, but in contrast to other spiced/infused rums, it's very well crafted! Alexandre said he tried 97 recipes and needed the help of the locals before he came up with this one. Certainly exciting for drinks and a great product in itself!

Oh, I just love coconut! And here the nose is so seductively liqueur-like, mhhhh. But on the palate it's unfortunately a little more sober and relatively thin. But not as sweet. All right. Still, not bad if you want to be undemanding.

Un rhum extrêmement fun, polyvalent et gourmand. Il y a de quoi s’éclater : pur, en cocktail ou même en accord avec un dessert, il trouve toujours sa place. La noix de coco est là du début à la fin, naturelle, intense, sans jamais être écœurante. Impossible de ne pas penser à un Bounty liquide

Smells and tastes like a liquid Bounty chocolate bar. Nice, natural coconut note. Fun to drink!

"Bounty!" is probably what everyone shouts here, because that's exactly what the bottle smells like. Coconut & chocolate take over everything here - without it becoming artificial. That's how it stays on the palate. Not too sweet, but still close to liqueur for the enthusiast. But all in all very natural, coconut is close to fresh coconut water. Super round and very special. Much more direct than the Stiggins.
