“Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. It's definitely too sweet for me. But for the price that is being asked, I think it's a fair sweet entry-level rum. Definitely suitable for baking.”

“Unspectacular, but drinkable. Has a gin-like quality. Sugared? However, a perfect starter for beginners or a longer tasting.”

“A relaxed and quite complex rum blend with exciting aromas that are rarely found in this form and clearly reminds me of the cachacas from the Umburana cask. In my opinion, however, the rum would have benefited from a few percent more and a little less sugar. But that's probably the view of a rum nerd who loves tasting distillates at cask strength. For the occasional connoisseur who would like to try a few new rums, the Plantation Sealander could be an exciting experience due to its dominant tonka bean flavor.”

“Dieser relativ neue "Navy-Style" blend bringt drei Regionen zusammen. Barbados (FWI), Mauritius (Saint Aubin) und Fiji (south pacific) sind vertreten. Dazu beinhaltet der blend sowohl Rum aus Melasse wie aus Zuckerrohrsaft. Zu Beginn wandert viel Zimt in die Nase, es ist süße vorhanden sowie einiges an Frucht und Würze. Auch am Gaumen ist dieser Geschmack der an Amburanaholz erinnert deutlich, was mir hier auch schon kombiniert mit etwas zuviel süße over the top ist. Dennoch ein ordentlicher blend für Einsteiger.”

“Uncomplicated, surprisingly complex blend. Red fruit jelly meets tonka bean and some wood and milk chocolate. Relatively mild and relaxed. Could do with a few % more. All in all, however, a really well-rounded number and a nice daily sipper not an unusual but harmonious combination of Mauritius, Fiji and Barbados - which could be unique to date! The price is very fair, even with the presentation.”

“Der Rum empfängt mich mit einer betörend würzigen Nase. Vor allem Zimt tritt hervor. Vermutlich lagerte der Rum in einem Amburanafass. Am Gaumen ist der Rum sehr mild und cremig. Die grenzwertige Dosage (20g/l) spüre ich deutlich. Der Nachklang ist eher kurz und schwenkt in Richtung Röstaromen. Die Zimtnote bleibt aber allgegenwärtig. Sehr schöner milder Einsteigerrum, der wegen der intensiven Zimtaromen bestimmt im Winter seinen besonderen Reiz hat.”

“The nose is very intense for the low ABV. Much going on here! Rich fruit basket and spices. Also surprisingly tasty and complex on the palate. I like this more than expected. Only a bit too much sweetness for my taste. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!”

“A young blend of varied origins, this Plantation stands out for its partial aging in amburana casks, which gives it toasty notes of tonka bean on the nose. There's plenty of sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon, pepper), wood, caramelized notes and fruit (grapes, banana, coconut). It's sweet and very approachable, but lacks a little finesse. The attack on the palate follows the same pattern as the nose, with dominant notes of wood, sweet spices and fruit (coconut, dried fruit and red berries). There's milk chocolate behind a syrupy texture. It's easy to drink, but lacks character, especially with the terroirs from which the rum comes (Fiji, Mauritius in particular). The finish is classic and sketchy, sweet on caramel, very marked on cask and spices with a hint of coconut. Not a bad cuvée, but one might expect a little more from an original cuvée like this.”

“It's OK. Tastewise I am under the impression that it might be adulterated, like some added flavours and sugar. But if that is the case, it is done with care. I am heavily reminded of a thick sweet orange marmelade, which is not really what I taste but somehow I get this association. Conclusion: drinkable.”

“Planteray RumX Masterclass by Alexandre 04.04.2024: Vor 10 Jahren hätte ich den wahrscheinlich gemocht. Heute ist er mir zu süß, zu schwach, zu dünn. Ja, es sind viele Aromen da, die Zimtnote ist schön. Aber alles geht unter im Zucker.”

“The nose and palate have a very distinctive note - I think of tonka beans, sweet pipe tobacco, red fruits and floral notes. There is a certain artificial aroma to the whole thing, which unfortunately quickly becomes too much for me - although the flavor would appeal to me apart from that. What I am really looking forward to, however, are creative cocktails with this rum as a base - there should be some interesting areas to play in. Bartenders, your call!”

“A surprisingly complex blend. And one that makes you realize what blends can do, you wouldn't otherwise be able to try something like this. Cinnamon is the first thing that comes to mind and runs through the entire rum. Coconut and red fruits in particular. I like it, but unfortunately it's too sweet due to the added sugar. I would have liked to try it without sugar and at 46%.”
