Loved by zabo, Schnapsschuesse & 32 more

For experienced palates chasing ester madness: a 56% Barbados high-ester “monster” that floods the glass with overripe tropical fruit, citrus sourness and glue/solvent notes. Best as a slow sipper or geeky reference pour, widely praised in the RumX masterclass set.

  • Ester overload
  • Crazy fruit intensity

Masterclass mit Alexandre Gabriel am 04.04.2024. Plantation wird Planteray. Also dieser Rum war die absolute Bombe von allen. Ein bißchen Zahnarzt, Lösungsmittel und als ich ein wenig mit den Resten gespielt habe, kam dieser Krasse künstliche Erdbeer-HubbaBubba Geschmack hervor, der gefühlt Stunden anhielt. Ich will mehr davon!!!

Sagen wir einfach die ganze Bude riecht nach 1cl Sample im Glas für 10 Minuten nach Klebstoff und sehr Reifen Obst - und belassen es dabei. Absolut wild was hier abgeht, Ester bei 2600, hier ist tatsächlich alles "Monster" :D

#4688 04.04.2024 Online tasting wit RumX and Plantaray. Nose Intense, ester, fruity, overripe, light glue, sweet. Palate Intense, ester, faint glue, fruity, overripe, light floral. Finish Intense, very long and warm, ester, light glue, citrus. This is ester with esters on top and still extremely well balanced with even better ABV integration. Hope they will bottle this in the future.

Plantation Masterclass. Mit Abstand (vieeeeeeeel Abstand) der beste Rum aus dem Set. Richtig geiles Zeug. Ester, Holz, Frucht, alles da. Bitte mehr davon. Am Anfang Blindwette auf Trelawny. Aber dann kommen neue, trockenere Noten dazu. Am Gaumen dann immer noch intensiv, aber komplett anders. Ein bisschen wie der erste Hight Ester Savanna. Wirklich ganz großes Kino. Hoffentlich kommt davon mehr.

This is insane stuff! Very, very nice. We can only hope to get our hands on bottlings of this to experiment and enjoy more of this. Also any aged casks obviously would be a blast to try. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!

RumX masterclass Planteray, 4.4.24, live mit Alexandre Gabriel. Nachtasting. Das hier war, neben dem vielen Spannenden, das Alexandre zu erzählen hatte, das klare Highlight am Abend. Eines, das seinem Namen alle Ehre macht: Ein Monster mit 2.600 gr/hl Ester und 56%. Wahnsinn! Nase: oha, Ester total. Intensiv, kräftig und konzentriert. Aber anders wie bei den DOKs dieser Welt sehr viel Zitrus-fruchtiger. Zitrone, Limette, Passionsfrucht, Ananas und Sauerkirsche. Orangeat und Zitronat zusammen mit einer maroden-Süße. Apfelessig und Lösungsmittel hinterher. Irgendwie berauschend. 8,8 Gaumen: krass! Heftige Zitrus-Ester. Zitrone, Limette, wieder künstlich-intensives Orangeat und Zitronat. Sehr adstringent und sauer. Hat etwas von Zitrus-Reiniger oder -Spüli. Hinten überreife Ananas. 8,6 Toll, so etwas mal probieren zu dürfen. Ob so etwas in den Handel kommt, bleibt abzuwarten. Darin bestärkt haben wie Alexandre auf jeden Fall.

Planteray/Plantation RumX Online Masterclass: What a monster. Incredibly aromatic and fruity, lots of ester but surprisingly almost without the strenuous nail polish, glue notes that Jamaica high ester usually brings with it. Almost a kind of easy sipping high ester, if you like. An extremely positive surprise! Very tasty!
