Aroma visualization from community tastings
Planteray Sealander
"Cinnamon and coconut cake" is how one member sums it up, and that's the whole picture: heaps of cinnamon, coconut, vanilla and milk chocolate, with a tonka-bean note that shows up again and again. It drinks soft and syrupy at 40%, closer to a spiced rum than a dry one. Most call it a friendly starter blend; the sweetness is the sticking point for seasoned drinkers.
The community says- Loads of cinnamon
- Soft and mild
- Contains added sugar

Wer tonkabohne liebt muss hier definitiv zugreifen. Was ein Brett. Tolle Aromen. Der Zucker ist nur ein klein wenig zu stark eingestellt. Ich liebe ihn da ich tonkabohne liebe. Mega aromatisch mit vielen gewürzen. Sollte man unbedingt mal probiert haben

Sweet entry-level rum. Very pleasing.
Review by Rumbaer
Toller Blend aus drei Regionen: Mauritius, Barbados und Fiji. Kokosnuss und Zimt in der Nase wie auch auf der Zunge. Eine sehr angenehme und milde Kombination zum puren Genuss, bestimmt aber auch in Cocktails sehr lecker. Leicht gesüßt mit 20g Zucker.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Unspectacular, but drinkable. Has a gin-like quality. Sugared? However, a perfect starter for beginners or a longer tasting.
Review by zabo
Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. It's definitely too sweet for me. But for the price that is being asked, I think it's a fair sweet entry-level rum. Definitely suitable for baking.

Original et gourmand j’apprécie beaucoup ce rhum ! Assemblage réussi ! Pleins d’arômes surprenante !
Review by Christian Rudt
This relatively new "navy-style" blend brings together three regions. Barbados (FWI), Mauritius (Saint Aubin) and Fiji (south pacific) are represented. The blend contains rum made from both molasses and sugar cane juice. At the beginning, there is a lot of cinnamon on the nose, sweetness as well as some fruit and spice. This taste, which is reminiscent of amburana wood, is also clear on the palate, which I find to be over the top in combination with a little too much sweetness. Nevertheless, a decent blend for beginners.
Review by Marko Köpke
Für mich ein super Getränk für den Gemütlichen Abend. Wenn es mal einer mehr sein darf. Vom Preis Leistungsverhältnis echt ein guter Tropfen.
Review by RumTaTa
Der Rum empfängt mich mit einer betörend würzigen Nase. Vor allem Zimt tritt hervor. Vermutlich lagerte der Rum in einem Amburanafass. Am Gaumen ist der Rum sehr mild und cremig. Die grenzwertige Dosage (20g/l) spüre ich deutlich. Der Nachklang ist eher kurz und schwenkt in Richtung Röstaromen. Die Zimtnote bleibt aber allgegenwärtig. Sehr schöner milder Einsteigerrum, der wegen der intensiven Zimtaromen bestimmt im Winter seinen besonderen Reiz hat.
Review by Golden Hind
Überraschend scharf aber ein außergewöhnlicher Geschmack mit sehr, sehr starken Kokosnussnoten.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Uncomplicated, surprisingly complex blend. Red fruit jelly meets tonka bean and some wood and milk chocolate. Relatively mild and relaxed. Could do with a few % more. All in all, however, a really well-rounded number and a nice daily sipper not an unusual but harmonious combination of Mauritius, Fiji and Barbados - which could be unique to date! The price is very fair, even with the presentation.

Tolle Gewürznoten. Erinnert an Weihnachten. Zimt, Kokosnuss und Milchschokolade.. Sehr einsteigerfreundlich.

04.04.2024 Online tasting wit RumX and Plantaray. Retasting and I stick to my score. ---------------- #4478 17.11.2023 Nose Light wood, olive, dried fruit, sweet, herbs. Palate Light wood, light roasted, dried fruit, sweet, salty, orange, pineapple, light coffee Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, faint caramel. Not really me but good for beginners and probably also for mixers.
Review by DomM
The nose is very intense for the low ABV. Much going on here! Rich fruit basket and spices. Also surprisingly tasty and complex on the palate. I like this more than expected. Only a bit too much sweetness for my taste. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!
Review by Serge
Plantation Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel. Really delicious nose with a really intense tonka note on the nose. The nose smells a little sweet, but is otherwise really delicious. On the palate, however, it's really too sweet for me, so I quit. My mother used to make a cake with sour cherries, dark chocolate and lots of tonka beans. It was delicious. But I'd rather not have any sugar in the rum version. Conclusion: cool taste, but unfortunately tasty sugar.
Review by Timo Groeger
Bottle Market Bremen October 2024. Now a Plantation, the Sealander. A little too sweet for me. Nose consists of chocolate and various spices. Then chocolate and spices on the palate, as well as some vanilla.
Review by Johannes
Phew, quite sweet and lots of artificial flavors such as baking spices, cinnamon, orange, etc.
Review by Alex1981
Easy sipper on cinnamon, milk chocolate, vanilla. Nothing tok exciting and rather weak on palate & finish, but probably great for beginners. //exit: the wife likes it, although she has no preference for rum at all. i take that as a good sign :D

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Read full review →A relaxed and quite complex rum blend with exciting aromas that are rarely found in this form and clearly reminds me of the cachacas from the Umburana cask. In my opinion, however, the rum would have benefited from a few percent more and a little less sugar. But that's probably the view of a rum nerd who loves tasting distillates at cask strength. For the occasional connoisseur who would like to try a few new rums, the Plantation Sealander could be an exciting experience due to its dominant tonka bean flavor.
