How does this rum taste?
Planteray Jamaica (Kentucky Cask) VRW is a 2017 Jamaican rum crafted by Long Pond Distillery and bottled by Maison Ferrand. Distilled from molasses and aged for 7 years, it exhibits vibrant ester aromas, with notes of pineapple and banana. The palate reveals rich mango, tropical fruit, and molasses, complemented by a peppery, clove-tinged oak finish. Users appreciate its fruity complexity and spicy undertones, but some find it lacking in smoothness and maturity. With a 51.9% ABV, this rum offers a distinctive Jamaican profile, balancing fruitiness with a hint of Kentucky cask influence. An intriguing choice for those exploring bold, ester-driven rums.

Alcohol very well integrated. Beautiful fruity, dry, slightly tropical esters.
Sehr leicht am Gaumen und schön fruchtig mit gebrannten Zucker und Honig. "Größere" Schlücke machen hier deutlich mehr Spaß, dann läuft man aber auch Gefahr des nicht ideal eingebundenen Alkohols scharf auf der Zunge zu spüren. Ich bin etwas zwiegespalten. Ein ordentlicher Rum mit vielen tropischen Fruchtaromen. Das gewisse Etwas fehlt hier für mich.
Dieser Planteray gefällt mir schon sehr gut. Hier haben wir einen schönen Jamaikaner mit Ester und tropischen Früchten wie Ananas und Banane in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch viel Ester und diesmal für mich Mango. Danke an Banana Joe für das Sample.
8,5:On the nose, the first impression is very pleasant and balanced with estery overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, banana and mango, some citrus.The molasses is vegetal with hay and olive. On aeration, the wood is a bit roasted, the new notes are a plum, lemon peel and flowery, as Kentucky finish brings malty feeling. 8:On the palate, the attack is spicy and fruity with overripe, for a moment even rotten, tropical fruits like mango, banana, pineapple, there are quickly some dried fruits like figs, apricots. The molasses is vegetal with the olive, hay, bitter with waxy, rubber notes, that makes the rum less round..The wood is spicy with pepper, clove, roasted with caramel, there is a pinch of a salt, malty taste from Kentucky barrel finish.After resting, an interesting Bazooka bubble-gum note arises. 7,8:The finish is long, dry, less pleasant, round with strong bitterness, tannins, some nuts, fruits balance our tasting, the rum becomes earthy.
