Planteray Barbados (Marsala cask) 2017
Anyone who likes a British-style Barbados column rum with a sweet-wine twist will find plenty to sip here. The Marsala finish layers dried apricot and raisin over the usual coconut, vanilla and caramel, with a light woody backbone. It reads a touch sweet, and at 48.4% the alcohol pokes through — a few tasters wished it were better integrated. Pleasant, not thrilling.

How does Planteray Barbados (Marsala cask) 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Sweet Barbados column rum with a Marsala twist Middle-of-the-road verdict: agreeable and fairly priced, but several find the profile a bit too sugary and the alcohol not fully knit. One reviewer rated the whole Planteray set forgettable.

Review by zabo
Also diese Planteray Kollektion war gar nicht mal so gut. Hab jetzt mal die ganzen Samples probiert, aber da war jetzt wirklich keiner dabei, den ich persönlich bräuchte und empfehlen würde. Alle wirken trotz der Verdünnung, verwässert und trotzdem meist alkoholisch und haben so eine künstliche Süße.
Review by Johannes
Viel Column Stil, flach, Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein.
