"Nose: Peat, burnt sugar. Palate: I can't drink it after the first sip because it doesn't taste like rum at all, just Islay whisky. Goes down the drain. Still 40 points because of the reasonably interesting nose. Addendum: A fitting example of how coarse-dominant whisky from Islay is and how you can ruin any rum with it. Conclusion: Hands off such experiments! (I've tried it myself: Islay whisky is like a constrictor and in the end even gets Hampden-DOK under it aromatically if you mix the two)."
"Hmm, if I want whisky flavor, then I go for whisky and not for rum that has been stored in a whisky barrel. Strictly speaking, almost all rums are aged in whisky casks - in bourbon casks. But this one was aged in an Islay whisky cask. It's a matter of taste, it's not my cup of tea. However, I admit, for what it is, it's not bad. Good candidate for a submarine in a whisky tasting 😁 Addendum: Unfortunately again with noticeable added sugar"
"Ich hatte schon bessere Islays-Whiskys. Das passt hier nicht."
"Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. My absolute minus rum of this tasting. Even if it's well-intentioned to create something like this, it's just not my world at all. You either love it or you don't. Personally, I hate it. Sorry"
