Toasted coconut comes on strong right out of the gate, followed by rich notes of chocolate, caramel and vanilla cookie. The aroma is deeply nostalgic — evoking the scent of a Samoa Girl Scout Cookie
Toasted coconut remains the star, joined by layers of vanilla and rich caramel. A hint of bitter dark chocolate and a subtle nuttiness provide balance, keeping the sweetness in check and preventing it from veering into syrupy territory.
The rum finishes of an almondy note that is accompanied by a lingering slight bitterness of dark chocolate.
Planteray Cut & Dry Coconut Rum delivers bold coconut flavor without veering into artificial or sunscreen-like territory, setting it apart from many mainstream coconut rums. It’s an unexpected delight — smooth, balanced and full of character — and would make a killer base for a tropical twist on a White Russian.
