    Sweet Barbados with a whisky twist
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like Zacapa/Botucal-style sweetness but want to dip a toe into whisky finishes, this works: simple, sweet, with clear malt notes—just don’t expect deep complexity.

    Not really suitable for

    Those chasing complex, pure Barbados character, anyone sensitive to sharper alcohol, and drinkers who dislike whisky-heavy finishes or find sweet-tasting rums boring over a full bottle.

    Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. Another whisky finish that I personally don't like at all. In contrast to the Guyana at the tasting, not so intrusive. Nice, but nothing I would need right now.

    Erneut ein stimmiges Release mit klarer Positionierung: Man zielt auf Liebhaber von süssen Rums ab, die aber gerne auch ein wenig mehr an aromatischer Komplexität haben möchten. Das funktioniert gut und wird berechtigterweise seine Freunde finden, mir bleibt das Gesamtpaket etwas zu unspektakulär - das ist aber ein strikt subjektives Urteil.

    Wow, nope. Fortunately, I can't taste anything from the whisky barrel, but this rum seems somehow ordinary and is clearly too spicy.
