Planteray Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos 2014 Planteray – Single Cask Collection – PX Sherry Cask – b. 2025

This Planteray Single Cask Collection release draws on rum from the Dominican Republic, distilled in 2014 and finished in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask before bottling by Maison Ferrand at cask strength 48.8%. It belongs to Ferrand's collector-focused single cask line, bottled at full strength rather than the openly dosed mainstream Planteray range.

The PX cask leaves a clear mark, lending a sweet, fruity richness that runs through nose and palate alike. The aroma is woody and sweet with allspice and a fruity lift, while the palate stays fruity and sweet over vanilla and oak. The finish turns to allspice, pepper and dried fruit with the wood lingering. It reads as a sherried, dessert-leaning style, the sweetness coming as much from the PX influence as anything, so it suits drinkers who enjoy a richer, wine-cask rum. A pleasant if straightforward single cask that wears its sherry finish on its sleeve.
