How does this rum taste?
Planteray Hugo Monster Rum, produced in Barbados and bottled by Maison Ferrand, is recognized for its intense ester profile. Distilled from molasses, this rum boasts an ABV of 56% and offers vivid olfactory and gustatory experiences. With prominent notes of ester, fermented fruits, and hints of glue, it delivers a powerful aromatic impression. On the palate, it is noted for its overripe tropical fruitiness, acidity, and lingering ester flavors. While some find its intensity challenging, many appreciate its uniqueness and balance of aromas. The complex profile and ester-driven character make it a captivating choice for rum enthusiasts, especially those fond of high-ester expressions.

Hallelujah! DOK to the power of three. After the initial shock, this astringency bomb is growing on me more and more ... er ... the palate. What do they actually do in the industry with so many esters? 😉
Masterclass mit Alexandre Gabriel am 04.04.2024. Plantation wird Planteray. Also dieser Rum war die absolute Bombe von allen. Ein bißchen Zahnarzt, Lösungsmittel und als ich ein wenig mit den Resten gespielt habe, kam dieser Krasse künstliche Erdbeer-HubbaBubba Geschmack hervor, der gefühlt Stunden anhielt. Ich will mehr davon!!!
This is insane stuff! Very, very nice. We can only hope to get our hands on bottlings of this to experiment and enjoy more of this. Also any aged casks obviously would be a blast to try. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!
Wir brauchen ein neues Attribut für den Geruch: Aceton! Beim vorsichtigen riechen beobachte ich ein mir bisher unbekanntes Phänomen: die Nasenmukosa bzw. das Riechepithel scheint sich zusammen zu ziehen, Wie eine Art Schutzreaktion. Und das wohl nicht wegen übermäßigem Alkohol sondern wegen des Geruchs nach Lösungsmittel/Aceton. Andere nutzen solche Flüssigkeiten als Verdünnung und wir schnuppern begeistert dran um es dann zu trinken 🤪 Mit Wasser geht es auf einmal Richtung Zitrusfrüchte! Am Gaumen dann ein schon unangenehm intensiver Geschmack nach Plastik und Chemie. Erst dahinter Ester und Frucht - irres Zeug. Zeigt mir, dass "Estercount" nicht alles ist! Die enorme Intensität verebbt im Nachklang relativ schnell aber verbleibt auf einem absolut gesehen hohen Niveau. Hier steckt auf jeden Fall eine Menge Potential! Tolle Erfahrung zusammen mit Alexandre in der RumX Masterclass!
