Plantation Sealander

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

 Sweet entry-level rum. Very pleasing.

 Honig, Schokolade, Zimt

 Plantation Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel. Really delicious nose with a really intense tonka note on the nose. The nose smells a little sweet, but is otherwise really delicious. On the palate, however, it's really too sweet for me, so I quit. My mother used to make a cake with sour cherries, dark chocolate and lots of tonka beans. It was delicious. But I'd rather not have any sugar in the rum version. Conclusion: cool taste, but unfortunately tasty sugar.

 Wer tonkabohne liebt muss hier definitiv zugreifen. Was ein Brett. Tolle Aromen. Der Zucker ist nur ein klein wenig zu stark eingestellt. Ich liebe ihn da ich tonkabohne liebe. Mega aromatisch mit vielen gewürzen. Sollte man unbedingt mal probiert haben

 Phew, quite sweet and lots of artificial flavors such as baking spices, cinnamon, orange, etc.

 Original et gourmand j’apprécie beaucoup ce rhum ! Assemblage réussi ! Pleins d’arômes surprenante !

 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.

 Überraschend scharf aber ein außergewöhnlicher Geschmack mit sehr, sehr starken Kokosnussnoten.

 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.

 This relatively new "navy-style" blend brings together three regions. Barbados (FWI), Mauritius (Saint Aubin) and Fiji (south pacific) are represented. The blend contains rum made from both molasses and sugar cane juice. At the beginning, there is a lot of cinnamon on the nose, sweetness as well as some fruit and spice. This taste, which is reminiscent of amburana wood, is also clear on the palate, which I find to be over the top in combination with a little too much sweetness. Nevertheless, a decent blend for beginners.

Not really me but good for beginners and probably also for mixers.

 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.

 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.

 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!
