Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. Another whisky finish that I personally don't like at all. In contrast to the Guyana at the tasting, not so intrusive. Nice, but nothing I would need right now.

Erneut ein stimmiges Release mit klarer Positionierung: Man zielt auf Liebhaber von süssen Rums ab, die aber gerne auch ein wenig mehr an aromatischer Komplexität haben möchten. Das funktioniert gut und wird berechtigterweise seine Freunde finden, mir bleibt das Gesamtpaket etwas zu unspektakulär - das ist aber ein strikt subjektives Urteil.

Wow, nope. Fortunately, I can't taste anything from the whisky barrel, but this rum seems somehow ordinary and is clearly too spicy.

Wanderung durch das Geisterholz in Oelde. Schöner Platzregen gerade :-( In der Nase jedenfalls sehr fruchtig dieser Plantation, außerdem ist Holz erkennbar. Am Gaumen dann wirklich überwiegend Whisk, ansonsten noch Karamell, Vanille und Gewürze.

An der Nase ist zu Beginn nicht viel los, ein paar gelbe Früchte und aufdringlicher Alkohol. Nach einer Weile kommen ein paar Gewürze und Zitrusfrüchte dazu. Am Gaumen übernimmt das Fass mit vordergründige Würze und Tanninen. Auch hier habe ich einen unangenehm starken alkoholischen Eindruck. Der Nachklang ist mittellang und Würze und Tannine dominieren Mittelmäßiger Rum an dem ich nicht viel Positives finde.

#4684 04.04.2024 Online tasting wit RumX and Plantaray. Nose Sweet, fruity, light glue, light peat, faint smoke, light wood, faint caramel. Palate Light, light wood, light peat, light smoke, fruity, sweet, warm, light caramel, light mint. Finish Long, sweet, light wood, faint smoke, light peat, citrus. Very thick and slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some malt and stronger whisky notes.
