Planteray Barbados (Marsala cask) 2017
People who like a British-style Barbados rum with a sweet-wine twist will get the most out of this one. Think caramel, coconut and vanilla over toasted oak, with the Marsala finish adding dried apricot and raisin. Pleasant and a touch sweet, though several tasters found the column-still profile a little flat and the alcohol not fully tucked in.
- Caramel and coconut
- Marsala dried fruit
- Long pleasant finish

How does Planteray Barbados (Marsala cask) 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Sweet, oaky Barbados with a Marsala edge Most find it pleasant and nicely sweet with coconut and oak, helped by the Marsala finish. The recurring catch: a slightly flat, column-still feel and alcohol that could integrate better.

Review by zabo
Also diese Planteray Kollektion war gar nicht mal so gut. Hab jetzt mal die ganzen Samples probiert, aber da war jetzt wirklich keiner dabei, den ich persönlich bräuchte und empfehlen würde. Alle wirken trotz der Verdünnung, verwässert und trotzdem meist alkoholisch und haben so eine künstliche Süße.
Review by Johannes
Viel Column Stil, flach, Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein.
