"Cinnamon and coconut cake" is how one member sums it up, and that's the whole picture: heaps of cinnamon, coconut, vanilla and milk chocolate, with a tonka-bean note that shows up again and again. It drinks soft and syrupy at 40%, closer to a spiced rum than a dry one. Most call it a friendly starter blend; the sweetness is the sticking point for seasoned drinkers.
The community says- Loads of cinnamon
- Soft and mild
- Keep in mind: Contains added sugar

If you love tonka bean you definitely have to grab this one. What a beast. Great aromas. The sugar is just a little too strong. I love it because I love tonka bean. Mega aromatic with lots of spices. Definitely a must-try.

Sweet entry-level rum. Very pleasing.
Review by Rumbaer
Toller Blend aus drei Regionen: Mauritius, Barbados und Fiji. Kokosnuss und Zimt in der Nase wie auch auf der Zunge. Eine sehr angenehme und milde Kombination zum puren Genuss, bestimmt aber auch in Cocktails sehr lecker. Leicht gesüßt mit 20g Zucker.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Unspectacular, but drinkable. Has a gin-like quality. Sugared? However, a perfect starter for beginners or a longer tasting.
Review by zabo
Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. It's definitely too sweet for me. But for the price that is being asked, I think it's a fair sweet entry-level rum. Definitely suitable for baking.
Review by Christian Rudt
This relatively new "navy-style" blend brings together three regions. Barbados (FWI), Mauritius (Saint Aubin) and Fiji (south pacific) are represented. The blend contains rum made from both molasses and sugar cane juice. At the beginning, there is a lot of cinnamon on the nose, sweetness as well as some fruit and spice. This taste, which is reminiscent of amburana wood, is also clear on the palate, which I find to be over the top in combination with a little too much sweetness. Nevertheless, a decent blend for beginners.
Review by LukaŽiga
7:On the nose, which is dominated by subtle aromas of pears, quince jelly, roasted fennel and heavily leading coconut syrup, then strong roasted almonds and marzipan with a hint of dark chocolate follow in relative roundedness. Woodiness join in and unfold relatively well integrated palate notes. 6,8:On the palate we find, again, leading the notes of coconut, spicy fruit and subtle notes of roasted almonds, honey and balanced wood tones. 6,7:The finish is spicy, sweet with a hint of dark fruit and subtle nuances of tonka beans and bitter almond notes..
Review by RumTaTa
Der Rum empfängt mich mit einer betörend würzigen Nase. Vor allem Zimt tritt hervor. Vermutlich lagerte der Rum in einem Amburanafass. Am Gaumen ist der Rum sehr mild und cremig. Die grenzwertige Dosage (20g/l) spüre ich deutlich. Der Nachklang ist eher kurz und schwenkt in Richtung Röstaromen. Die Zimtnote bleibt aber allgegenwärtig. Sehr schöner milder Einsteigerrum, der wegen der intensiven Zimtaromen bestimmt im Winter seinen besonderen Reiz hat.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Uncomplicated, surprisingly complex blend. Red fruit jelly meets tonka bean and some wood and milk chocolate. Relatively mild and relaxed. Could do with a few % more. All in all, however, a really well-rounded number and a nice daily sipper not an unusual but harmonious combination of Mauritius, Fiji and Barbados - which could be unique to date! The price is very fair, even with the presentation.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
04.04.2024 Online tasting wit RumX and Plantaray. Retasting and I stick to my score. ---------------- #4478 17.11.2023 Nose Light wood, olive, dried fruit, sweet, herbs. Palate Light wood, light roasted, dried fruit, sweet, salty, orange, pineapple, light coffee Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, faint caramel. Not really me but good for beginners and probably also for mixers.
Review by DomM
The nose is very intense for the low ABV. Much going on here! Rich fruit basket and spices. Also surprisingly tasty and complex on the palate. I like this more than expected. Only a bit too much sweetness for my taste. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!
Review by Timo Groeger
Bottle Market Bremen October 2024. Now a Plantation, the Sealander. A little too sweet for me. Nose consists of chocolate and various spices. Then chocolate and spices on the palate, as well as some vanilla.
Review by Alex1981
Easy sipper on cinnamon, milk chocolate, vanilla. Nothing tok exciting and rather weak on palate & finish, but probably great for beginners. //exit: the wife likes it, although she has no preference for rum at all. i take that as a good sign :D
Review by TheRhumhoe
A young blend of varied origins, this Plantation stands out for its partial aging in amburana casks, which gives it toasty notes of tonka bean on the nose. There's plenty of sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon, pepper), wood, caramelized notes and fruit (grapes, banana, coconut). It's sweet and very approachable, but lacks a little finesse. The attack on the palate follows the same pattern as the nose, with dominant notes of wood, sweet spices and fruit (coconut, dried fruit and red berries). There's milk chocolate behind a syrupy texture. It's easy to drink, but lacks character, especially with the terroirs from which the rum comes (Fiji, Mauritius in particular). The finish is classic and sketchy, sweet on caramel, very marked on cask and spices with a hint of coconut. Not a bad cuvée, but one might expect a little more from an original cuvée like this.
Review by Ganimed
Honey, chocolate, cinnamon.
Review by MarcT
It's OK. Tastewise I am under the impression that it might be adulterated, like some added flavours and sugar. But if that is the case, it is done with care. I am heavily reminded of a thick sweet orange marmelade, which is not really what I taste but somehow I get this association. Conclusion: drinkable.
Review by Patrik Onderka
A great companion for common sailing. An interesting blend of Fiji, Barbados and Mauritius from molasses, not matured but an acceptable value for the price. Ideal for rum first timers with dosage 20g/l.
Review by Jakob
The nose and palate have a very distinctive note - I think of tonka beans, sweet pipe tobacco, red fruits and floral notes. There is a certain artificial aroma to the whole thing, which unfortunately quickly becomes too much for me - although the flavor would appeal to me apart from that. What I am really looking forward to, however, are creative cocktails with this rum as a base - there should be some interesting areas to play in. Bartenders, your call!
Review by Jarek
Planteray RumX Masterclass by Alexandre 04.04.2024: I would probably have liked this 10 years ago. Today it's too sweet, too weak, too thin for me. Yes, there are lots of aromas, the cinnamon note is nice. But everything is drowned in sugar.
Review by mto75
I like it a lot
Review by HenryL
A surprisingly complex blend. And one that makes you realize what blends can do, you wouldn't otherwise be able to try something like this. Cinnamon is the first thing that comes to mind and runs through the entire rum. Coconut and red fruits in particular. I like it, but unfortunately it's too sweet due to the added sugar. I would have liked to try it without sugar and at 46%.
Review by Anthony
Original and tasty, I really appreciate this rum! Successful blend! Full of surprising aromas!
Review by Beancheese
For a low abv rum that has clearly been dosed, this one wasn’t so bad. The blend makes for a medley of flavours that gives this far more character than most entry level rums in its class. Definitely good for anyone that likes sweet (dosed), easy drinking rum.
Review by Frank
RumX masterclass Planteray, 4.4.24, live with Alexandre Gabriel. Actually an interesting blend of molasses and sugarcane juice from Barbados, Mauritius and Fiji. But it does have a dosage of 20g. Nose: you smell the sweetness. Sugar syrup with honeydew melon, plus some banana. Sweet tonka bean with a hint of cinnamon behind. Quite flat due to the low abv. 6.8 Palate: a bit flat and simple. Candied orange peel like in fruitcake with some coconut and banana. Spicy with vanilla, anise and slight caraway. Pretty sweet as if mixed with sugar syrup. 6.6 Simple beginner blend. Not really for me.
Review by DosenZorn
I didn't have high expectations from the start, let's see how it goes. Nose very artificially perfumed. No enthusiasm yet. On the palate, incredibly strong cinnamon aroma. For only 40%, the alcohol comes through a bit too much. Overall quite okay. Sweet rum drinkers will like it. It doesn't quite grab me. Finish very short.
Review by Tim
Pleasant rum with a somewhat divided nose. Actually harmonious aromas come together on the nose, but an artificial syrup note or some other candy smell bothers me. Way too diluted on the palate, no chance to win a race there.
Review by w00tAN
Im Geruch ist Zitrus und Zimt. Außerdem etwas beriges süßes. Im Mund dann süß mit volle Kanne Kokosnuss. Kurzer Abgang
Review by BTHHo 🥃
At once delicate and full-bodied, with great sweetness and notes of clover honey, vanilla and prunes.
Review by Serge
Plantation Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel. Really delicious nose with a really intense tonka note on the nose. The nose smells a little sweet, but is otherwise really delicious. On the palate, however, it's really too sweet for me, so I quit. My mother used to make a cake with sour cherries, dark chocolate and lots of tonka beans. It was delicious. But I'd rather not have any sugar in the rum version. Conclusion: cool taste, but unfortunately tasty sugar.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 = Sweet, sugary and caramelized aromas of coconut, vanilla, nuts and red fruits with woody notes, gingerbread and a slight tobacco.. 👄 = The sweet smoothness continues on the palate with a bit of honey, orange and chocolate added. The finish lingers on caramel, mild spices and herbal notes. Here we have a tender blend of rums so the general public can sail into the world of rum without seasickness 😜
Review by Master P
Nice spicy nose. Clearly coconut, vanilla. I can't really perceive Fiji and Mauritius. As a more complex rum for beginners with a very good price-performance ratio, it's perfect. I drank it recently at a party, it's really very drinkable.
Review by Manuel
Solid entry-level rum but a bit too thin for experienced rum drinkers. Sweet rum, but not overly sweet for me. Pleasant notes of vanilla and cinnamon round it off nicely. Perfect for beginners with a good price.
Review by Inselhexe
Currently my absolute favorite rum, complex, sweet, pleasant
Review by Stuesch
I get strong associations with chamomile tea, but also menthol. Something different and new for me, lots of umami. Interesting, but nothing that blows me away.
Review by Lukas Jäger
On paper an exciting rum! Sugarcane and molasses, countries you don't often find together in a blend and with St. Quinn a generally rather rare distillery. Especially the nose delivers well, sugary-sweet, like jam, floral like olive and roasted nuts. St. Quinn delivers an exciting, chemical character that somehow reminds of perfume. Also intense cinnamon and tonka bean. On the palate, sugar clearly dominates, unfortunately also 20g dosage and thus not surprising. Somehow too sweet, diluted, the rest of the grilled-smoky character unfortunately gets lost. Nose awesome, palate meh... Too bad!
Review by Oliver
Too sweet for me personally. But a nice and inexpensive entry-level rum. Quasi the little brother of Plantation XO.
Review by Agricoler
In my opinion a good beginner. However, very sweet with a very short finish. Overall not very exciting, only the cinnamon note, if you like it, manages to convince. Not my thing anymore, because overall it reminds more of a dessert.
Review by Nicofr
An entry-level rum quite sweet with aromas of vanilla and spices. A very smooth rum, a bit too much actually, a perfect rum to start with. I haven't tested it in a cocktail but it should work well.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Masterclass V&B December 2, 2025. 👃 Beeswax, chemical side, coconut aroma, sweet, vanilla, chocolatey. Notes of dried fruits, red fruits and orchard fruits in English candy. 😋 I like the dominant note of chocolate coconut, less so the chemical coconut. Chocolate, caramel pastries, soft spicy wood, tutti frutti red fruit candies, bitter cherry in eau de vie. ⛳ Short, syrupy, sweet. Coconut, vanilla, caramel and red fruits. 💡 A bit better than the Planteray Pineapple. But at almost 50€ in store, not a good value for money.
Review by Marko Köpke
For me, a great drink for a cozy evening. When you want a little more. Really a good drop for the price-performance ratio.
Review by TheJackDrop
"Whisky Live 2023, session dégustation rapide ! Globalement je retiens des fruits et de la coco, bon moment. Manque forcément de longueur mais peut être sympa à offrir. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Fruité, Vanillé En bouche : Fève tonka, Bois jeunes, Fruits rouges, Noix de coco La finale plutot orientee vers : Chêne, Noix de coco"
Review by Rumpalumpa
Not much coming from the nose, primarily coconut and maybe something towards berries and warm spices. On the palate it tastes a bit like cookie dough with hazelnut. The sweetness is moderate. I don’t notice that there is a sugarcane juice distillate in here.
Review by Skyfly
Trade fair review. Tastes like a sweetened or flavored rum. Suitable for beginners, not so much for nerds. Would be interesting to try it at cask strength sometime. Not really interesting in its current state.
Review by Hansi
The cinnamon note is not my thing
Review by Pavel Spacek
Huge cinnamon :)
Review by F.L.O.
If it weren't for the sugar... Nice nose, even if no aroma massively stands out. But actually refreshing at today's Planteray tasting. On the taste, the disappointment over the high sugar content appears in the end. Too bad, too bad... Because here hides cinnamon, fruit and chocolate... only unfortunately too subtle because of too much sugar. Probably a great thing for rum newbies who need something sweet. More could have been in it...
Review by Jack M
Easy drinking blended rum. Nice but simple. Sweet with a smooth golden syrup/ treacle flavour. I’m not sure it gave me much of the three distilleries/ countries. I’m glad I tried it but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy a bottle.
Review by Tim Kaschmieder
Very great, harmonious rum. Not too complex, but also not too sweet in the finish. Great value for money.
Review by Schorgelorsch
Great entry into the world of rum to get used to something unsweetened and discover rum with its diversity. Everything has already been written about the coconut punch and the flavoring. Totally fine for the price.

Read full review ›A relaxed and quite complex rum blend with exciting aromas that are rarely found in this form and clearly reminds me of the cachacas from the Umburana cask. In my opinion, however, the rum would have benefited from a few percent more and a little less sugar. But that's probably the view of a rum nerd who loves tasting distillates at cask strength. For the occasional connoisseur who would like to try a few new rums, the Plantation Sealander could be an exciting experience due to its dominant tonka bean flavor.
