Planteray Barbade Foundation 2004

Right from the start, this rum hits with a lovely aroma of dried fruits, caramel, and chocolate. As it opens up, the coconut really shines, adding an intense tropical note that deepens over time, eventually blending into sweet spices. For me, it’s an elegant and well-rounded rum with the classic Barbados profile, smooth vanilla, rich coconut, and a touch of dark chocolate bitterness. I honestly don’t understand the relatively low rating here; this is a refined expression that perfectly captures what a quality Barbadian rum should be.

Zimt - Kardamom - Schnecken in flüssiger Form, dazu salz-butter-karamell. Selten so sehr an eins meiner Lieblings Gebäcke erinnert worden von einem Rum😅🥐Tolle Nase, sehr angenehm am Gaumen, nicht zu süß und nicht zu stark. Dennoch nicht eindimensional da auch leckere Aromen von Kokosnuss, Ananas, Rosine und Banane mit von der Partie sind. Die Alkoholintegration ist top und der Abgang angenehm und mittellang. Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut!

Tested at WLP 2024. All coconut and honey. Solid, but a little too simple for this age.

Zimt, Orange, Kokosnuss, Banane, Schokolade. Gefällt mir gut!

A generic Barbados rum, as the bottler is wont to offer in spades. The nose is immersed in toffee, caramel, milk chocolate, spices (vanilla, pepper), banana and coconut. This greediness slows the profile down a little in its aromatic ascent, as it just looks like a most traditional Bajan rum, without really standing out. The same is true on the palate. Bourbon, sweet and toasty notes come together to represent the Bajan style in all its splendor. Coconut, dried fruit (grapes), spices and the woodiness of milk chocolate mousse are all present. The alcohol is well integrated, drowned in an unmistakable deliciousness. The finish is not very long, but rather thin, dominated by sweet, honeyed, chocolatey, spicy and woody aromas. Coconut and raisin are still present, with a hint of banana. A conventional WIRD, from which we could have expected more for the age count and the marketing that recurrently promotes this distillery.
