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?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

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.

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.

7.5/10

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.

Unfortunately, I have to say here too, for 47% it tastes quite alcoholic. Otherwise, it is quite woody on the nose, also a certain spiciness is noticeable. On the palate as well, here especially pepper is recognizable.

On the Rocks: On the nose a strong but not sweet red wine with some subtle oak and spice in the background. Taste reveals a smooth but funky fruit sweetness and grappa with some oak and spice. Finish is long with the sweetness and grappa slowly fading away. Mixed Pepsi Zero:
