Planteray Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal Rum NV 1.0L

Last reviewed in 2012 and rated Four Stars. I very much respond to the pewter/pale green color; absolute purity. Opening aroma offers delicate scents of brown sugar, honey, coffee bean, cocoa bean; later whiffs following further aeration encounter baking spices, especially, vanilla, allspice, clove; a bouquet of delicacy. Entry is biscuity, batter-like, yet is bittersweet and light bodied; midpalate features round, supple flavors of dark chocolate, root beer, toasted marshmallow, egg cream, vanilla soda. Finishes fast, refined, almost fragile. Serious white rum at its grassy, herbal best.
