Nose very woody and spicy, some chocolate, little fruit, still discreetly smoky. On the palate then nicely spicy, followed by honey/maple syrup spice. Then quite strongly woody and chocolate. I think it's great, among the 6 Black Casks I have tried, in the top 3.

Smells a bit like vanilla crescent cookies. Taste-wise, very artificial vanilla and pure sweetness dominate. Due to the extreme sweetness, hardly any other notes are recognizable.

Less recommended neat, you can clearly tell it's still young. Okay for cocktails or with cola.

Planteray 

Avg Rating 7.7/10 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.
