West Indies Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum
Toasted coconut flesh, milk chocolate and a little vanilla — nearly everyone reaches for the same phrase: liquid Bounty bar. Made with real Barbados rum infused with dried coconut, so the flavor reads natural rather than the artificial Malibu sweetness. Plenty of members sip it happily, but as many find it too sweet neat and park it in a Piña Colada instead.
The community says- Real coconut flavor
- Chocolate and vanilla
- But: Too sweet neat

How does West Indies Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum taste?
Aggregated from 209 community reviews.
Natural coconut-chocolate rum, sweet dessert style Loved for its natural, intense coconut and chocolate — a "liquid Bounty" many enjoy. The split is real: some sip it neat, plenty find it too sweet and keep it for cocktails.

Review by Schnapsschuesse
"Bounty!" is probably what everyone here shouts, because that's exactly how what's in the bottle smells. Coconut & chocolate take over everything - without it becoming artificial. That's how it stays on the palate too. Not too sweet, yet for the enthusiast close to a liqueur. But overall very natural, the coconut is close to fresh coconut water. Super smooth, and very special. Clearly more direct than the Stiggins.

After the B-Monster, somehow the highlight of the masterclass with Alexandre! Awesome coconut, it tastes like liquid bounty! Not 8.0 points by normal standards, but in contrast to other spiced/infused rums, it's very well crafted! Alexandre said he tried 97 recipes and needed the help of the locals before he came up with this one. Certainly exciting for drinks and a great product in itself!

Tasted at Sanctus Spiritus ‘24, so my review remains rather concise. Smells exactly as branded, like coconut. In such an extreme amount that it seems unlikely that this was achieved with only maceration. It’s accessible, sweet, creamy and perhaps ideal as an after dinner pour. In the mouth less sweet than expected, but still obscenely sugared. It tastes like those gasstation liqueur-filled chocolates. I’m a little surprised current reviews are so lenient. The obvious idea that this could go in cocktails like piña coladas has been continuously noted. Perhaps this has applications in home mixology, but for professional use I would always coconut wash a Bajan rum. Plus a good piña simply doesn’t need a coconut liqueur.
Review by RumTaTa
As soon as the rum is in the glass I think I have a plate full of fresh coconut macaroons in front of me, coconut ^3! On the palate there is a slightly grassy note but the coconut flavors continue to give full steam! The finish is surprisingly long and - surprise! - is dominated by coconut! For what it is, it's excellent and a great addition to pina coladas and other exotic cocktails!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Oh, I just love coconut! And here the nose is so seductively liqueur-like, mhhhh. But on the palate it's unfortunately a little more sober and relatively thin. But not as sweet. All right. Still, not bad if you want to be undemanding.
Review by Tim
Of course, it's hard to rate this rum separately from honest quality rum. But if you dare, I have to admit that among the many coconut rums out there, this one stands out with its bombastic nose. Very nutty and lots of cocoa!! You can get it as a liqueur rum, which I have now done myself. However, it seems that the rum changes quickly (negatively) in the bottle, so better drink it quickly.
Review by zabo
Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. For me, this was one of the positive surprises of the tasting. The story behind it is very interesting. Sure, it will never be one of my favorites, but I think you could mix good cocktails with it.
Review by DomM
Wow, this is honestly pure coconut on the nose, instantly filling the whole room. Some wood, vanilla, chocolate and lots of coconuts. But this is real coconut flavor in contrast to many artificial tasting products. Same on the palate with emphasis on coconut flesh. Reasonably sweet to me. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!
Review by Oliver
Smells and tastes like a liquid Bounty chocolate bar. Nice, natural coconut note. Fun to drink!
Review by Christian Rudt
Bounty in liquid form is actually very good here. Although I don't like Bounty because there's always a strange taste that spoils my appetite when I bite into it. There's no need to bite into it here, so you can just enjoy it. It's clearly too sweet for me to drink straight, but it should find a nice place in a Pina Colada. The coconut flavors here are fun.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4687 04.04.2024 Online tasting wit RumX and Plantaray. Nose Light wood, coconut, raisin, light chocolate. Palate Coconut, sweet, light wood, medium dry, light chocolate. Finish Short, coconut, faint wood. This rum is all about coconut and there is a lot of it. We all agreed that this was liquid Bounty.
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. 1 an ou presque depuis que je me dis "je vais pas aimer ça sert à rien de gouter ça"... ben en fait j'ai raté quelque chose. La coco est très marquée, dense, épaisse, mais sans être écoeurante. Je pense en prendre une bouteille à l'occasion pour pimper des cocktails ou avec un peu de glace de temps en temps. On est la pour la gourmandise, pas pour le rhum :)
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super round and delicious coconut rum from Barbados and not too sweet! It's great in drinks and tastes very authentic and intense with roasted coconut chips and a little dark chocolate. Pleasantly "dry" and strong, if you can call it that. PLV could be 5-10€ cheaper in my opinion, but it's only coconuts from Barbados and therefore a really "sustainable" coconut rum.
Review by Rene Nielsen
Tasting 19/4-24 Peters vin The last rum of the tasting, and a surprise from Juuls. Nose: Coconut, milky chocolate. Taste: It was pour Bounty bar, coconut, vanilla, very sweet. Finish : Again a lot of coconut, milky chocolate, light smoke. It will work in a lots off cocktail’s.
Review by mto75
full load of Bounty :-))
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Un rhum extrêmement fun, polyvalent et gourmand. Il y a de quoi s’éclater : pur, en cocktail ou même en accord avec un dessert, il trouve toujours sa place. La noix de coco est là du début à la fin, naturelle, intense, sans jamais être écœurante. Impossible de ne pas penser à un Bounty liquide
Review by SaibotZtar
Great mixer ... Perfect for Pina Colada. Tastes very strongly of coconut and a little wood, relatively little fruit but some spice is present. Pure, however, I find it much too sweet for me anyway ...

Listen, this does not pretend to be anything else than it is. It is pretty straightforward with the coconut aroma and does not try to be a crafty fuck up other than in marketing. If you want this product you want this product
