Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum

"Bounty!" is probably what everyone here shouts, because that's exactly how what's in the bottle smells. Coconut & chocolate take over everything - without it becoming artificial. That's how it stays on the palate too. Not too sweet, yet for the enthusiast close to a liqueur. But overall very natural, the coconut is close to fresh coconut water. Super smooth, and very special. Clearly more direct than the Stiggins.

After the B-Monster, somehow the highlight of the masterclass with Alexandre! Awesome coconut, it tastes like liquid bounty! Not 8.0 points by normal standards, but in contrast to other spiced/infused rums, it's very well crafted! Alexandre said he tried 97 recipes and needed the help of the locals before he came up with this one. Certainly exciting for drinks and a great product in itself!

Tasted at Sanctus Spiritus ‘24, so my review remains rather concise. Smells exactly as branded, like coconut. In such an extreme amount that it seems unlikely that this was achieved with only maceration. It’s accessible, sweet, creamy and perhaps ideal as an after dinner pour. In the mouth less sweet than expected, but still obscenely sugared. It tastes like those gasstation liqueur-filled chocolates. I’m a little surprised current reviews are so lenient. The obvious idea that this could go in cocktails like piña coladas has been continuously noted. Perhaps this has applications in home mixology, but for professional use I would always coconut wash a Bajan rum. Plus a good piña simply doesn’t need a coconut liqueur.

Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. 1 an ou presque depuis que je me dis "je vais pas aimer ça sert à rien de gouter ça"... ben en fait j'ai raté quelque chose. La coco est très marquée, dense, épaisse, mais sans être écoeurante. Je pense en prendre une bouteille à l'occasion pour pimper des cocktails ou avec un peu de glace de temps en temps. On est la pour la gourmandise, pas pour le rhum :)

Spiced Kokosnuss Rum. Eignet sich sicher super für Cocktails. Zum pur trinken für mich ungeeignet.

Un rhum extrêmement fun, polyvalent et gourmand. Il y a de quoi s’éclater : pur, en cocktail ou même en accord avec un dessert, il trouve toujours sa place. La noix de coco est là du début à la fin, naturelle, intense, sans jamais être écœurante. Impossible de ne pas penser à un Bounty liquide

All coconut, coconut ball nose, coconut alcohol palate bordering on liqueur, very sweet finish. Personally, infusion is too strong. This alcohol is not a rum, for coconut lovers!

As soon as the rum is in the glass I think I have a plate full of fresh coconut macaroons in front of me, coconut ^3! On the palate there is a slightly grassy note but the coconut flavors continue to give full steam! The finish is surprisingly long and - surprise! - is dominated by coconut! For what it is, it's excellent and a great addition to pina coladas and other exotic cocktails!

Oh, I just love coconut! And here the nose is so seductively liqueur-like, mhhhh. But on the palate it's unfortunately a little more sober and relatively thin. But not as sweet. All right. Still, not bad if you want to be undemanding.

Es fällt natürlich schwer, diesen Rum losgelöst von ehrlichem Qualitätsrum zu bewerten. Wenn man es doch wagt, muss ich gestehen, dass unter den vielen Kokosrums, die es gibt, dieser mit seiner bombastischen Nase heraussticht. Sehr nussig und viel Kakao!! Den kann man sich als Likörrum zulegen, was ich inzwischen auch getan habe. Es scheint aber, dass sich der Rum schnell (negativ) in der Flasche ändert, also lieber zügig trinken.

Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. For me, this was one of the positive surprises of the tasting. The story behind it is very interesting. Sure, it will never be one of my favorites, but I think you could mix good cocktails with it.

Smells and tastes like a liquid Bounty chocolate bar. Nice, natural coconut note. Fun to drink!

Wow, this is honestly pure coconut on the nose, instantly filling the whole room. Some wood, vanilla, chocolate and lots of coconuts. But this is real coconut flavor in contrast to many artificial tasting products. Same on the palate with emphasis on coconut flesh. Reasonably sweet to me. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!

Bounty in liquid form is actually very good here. Although I don't like Bounty because there's always a strange taste that spoils my appetite when I bite into it. There's no need to bite into it here, so you can just enjoy it. It's clearly too sweet for me to drink straight, but it should find a nice place in a Pina Colada. The coconut flavors here are fun.

#4687 04.04.2024 Online tasting wit RumX and Plantaray. Nose Light wood, coconut, raisin, light chocolate. Palate Coconut, sweet, light wood, medium dry, light chocolate. Finish Short, coconut, faint wood. This rum is all about coconut and there is a lot of it. We all agreed that this was liquid Bounty.
