DDL Plantation Guyana 2008 (Red Pineau Charentes Cask)
Don't expect the usual sweet Plantation profile here — the red wine cask pushes this Demerara toward dried fruit, grappa and even a whiff of red wine, over a base of molasses, coffee, dark chocolate and pepper. One taster called it "very interesting" with a hint of whisky. It rests dry and woody, though a few find 47.6% drinks hotter than the number suggests.

How does DDL Plantation Guyana 2008 (Red Pineau Charentes Cask) taste?
Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Woody, peppery Demerara with a red-wine twist A characterful pot-still Demerara with a wine-cask twist: molasses, coffee and pepper over dried fruit. Well liked, though a couple find it more alcoholic than the ABV implies and slightly sweet.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
The nose starts off alcoholic but after resting for 15 minutes it changes to a nice smoky nose with honeysuckle, varnish and molasses/bourbon. The palate is nice and warm with a charred smoky start going into dried fruit, caramel and a bit of spices. The finish is long, medium dry and warm with pepper and a tad off smoke.
Review by Montana
A strong aroma of molasses, coffee, dark chocolate, some wood and fruit. The taste is also full of chocolate, malt, molasses and coffee, spicy with roasted aromas.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Very interesting. I like a hint of whisky in that.
