Paraguay 2019 - 2024 Single Cask Planteray Rum

This Planteray Rum from Paraguay was distilled in 2019 and gained its unique character through a second maturation in a Finnish Kyrö Rye Whisky Cask. The fusion of tropical rum and spicy rye whisky results in a bold and layered profile. Bottled in 2024 as a single cask release, it offers a powerful spirit with a Scandinavian twist — spicy, warm, and distinctive.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose opens with notes of clove, rye bread and caramel, followed by orange peel and a hint of leather. Vanilla and black pepper drift in subtly, with tropical fruit and toasted wood in the background.

Palate

Full and bold on the palate, with a clear rye character: peppery and slightly smoky. Then come flavours of brown sugar, roasted almonds and raisins. The structure is firm but balanced, with gentle bitterness and an earthy undertone.

Finish

The finish is long, spicy and slightly drying. Notes of oak, dark chocolate and a touch of liquorice linger, accompanied by a warm rye spice that slowly fades. An adventurous rum that keeps you intrigued.

Planteray Rum

Planteray Rum, formerly known as Plantation Rum, is a renowned rum producer focused on creating high-quality rums from all corners of the world. The brand, founded by Alexandre Gabriel, is a pioneer in the use of dual maturation techniques. The rums mature first in their tropical homelands, where they absorb the powerful influences of the local climate, and are then taken to Château de Bonbonnet in France for a second maturation period in French oak barrels. This double maturation creates a unique balance of rich, tropical flavours and refined, complex notes.

Planteray is known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. They use only the best sugarcane molasses and traditional distillation techniques. The brand has a wide range of expressions, from light, fruity rums to rich, deeply matured varieties. Praised worldwide for their complexity and depth, Planteray's rums are loved by rum lovers and cocktail connoisseurs alike for their versatility and unique flavour profiles.
