La Cabaña Plantation El Salvador 2015 Red Pineau des Charentes Wine Cask

The red wine cask is the twist here: it layers cherry, prune and dark-fruit sweetness over a light El Salvador base, alongside vanilla, caramel and toasted hazelnut. Members find it very drinkable and rounded, with milk chocolate and a nutty middle. The recurring gripes: it reads quite sweet, the wine finish can dominate, and the alcohol isn't always cleanly tucked in.

The community says
  • Rounded and drinkable
  • Nutty chocolate notes

Sweet, wine-cask sipper without much depth Most call it an easy, rounded sipper with a decent wine-cask fruitiness — but many find it too sweet, a touch sharp, and short on depth. Pleasant, not spectacular.

Un rhum doux. Au nez, un parfum de vanille. Au goût, le coté alcooleux ressort de manière bien maîtrisée puis laisse apparaitre ensuite des notes de bananes. Un rhum rond et réconfortant.

Leichte Süße, rote Früchte, Weinnoten, floral und irgendwie eine störende Note von Pappkarton. Das ist irgendwie so gar nicht meins, bin aber auch kein Fan von Weinfinishings. Transparenz: kostenloses Sample im Rahmen der Rum-X Masterclass

Masterclass mit Alexandre Gabriel am 04.04.2024. Plantation wird Planteray. Alles in allem ein trinkbarer Rum. Für das was es beim Tasting sonst noch gab, eher im vorderen Drittel mit einzuordnen. Aber leider nicht das, wo ich unbedingt Nachschub bräuchte davon.

Anfangs dachte ich, na ja, spanischer Stil eben, wird mir nicht viel geben. Aber dann hat mir der Rum als Starter in den Abend doch ganz gut geschmeckt. Leichte Kokosnote, die ich bei Venezuela nicht erwartet hätte, aber auch etwas scharf, Alkohol könnte also besser eingebunden sein.

An der Nase zeigt sich der Rum leicht, süß und fruchtig. Die alkoholische Note verfliegt schnell. Am Gaumen nicht optimal eingebundener Alkohol, Früchte und Würze. Insgesamt recht leicht. Das ändert sich zum Nachklang hin. Hier trumpft der Rum mit intensiver Würze und Fassnoten. In Summe ganz passabel und geeignet um Rum aus El Salvador kennen zu lernen, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

Der nächste annehmbare Plantation. Hier haben wir eine eher süße Nase, Vanille und Karamell, aber auch Haselnuss ist erkennbar. Am Gaumen kommt dann noch etwas Scjokolade hinzu, finde ihn aber etwas zu alkoholischen, trotzdem gut.

Die harmonische Nase dieses spanischen Rums ist leider etwas schwach für 49%. Im Mund kann der Rum mit mehr Intensität überzeugen, kräftig und vielschichtig genug. Einziges Manko ist die alkoholische Schärfe im Mund und Abgang.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

This is a slightly too alcoholic version of the boring sugary rum you give friends at a party where even Hampden estate would be lost spirit to people. Nothing really bad, even though I found it a bit alcoholic. But still

Planteray 

Avg Rating 7.5/10 over 780 Rums

Planteray is the rum range Maison Ferrand renamed from Plantation in 2024. It is double-aged: distilled in the Caribbean, largely on Barbados at the historic West Indies Rum Distillery, then finished in France in ex-cognac casks, which gives the house style its rounded, polished character. Built by Alexandre Gabriel to make fine rum approachable, it runs from the flagship XO 20th Anniversary to a deep tail of high-ester and single-cask bottlings.
