Real Coconut, Cut and Sun-Dried in Barbados
Most coconut rums are flavored; Cut & Dry is infused. Working with Barbadian coconut farmers over four years of development, Planteray (formerly Plantation) settled on a deceptively simple process: ripe coconuts are hand-cut and dried under the Caribbean sun to concentrate their oils, then infused into 100% Barbadian rum distilled on the island. No artificial shortcut can match it — the coconut character is deep, toasted, and unmistakably real. Shop the Planteray collection or browse more rum at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Rich coconut flesh leads — fresh macaroons, toasted coconut flakes, vanilla cream, and milk chocolate — over a tropical undercurrent of pineapple and ripe banana. The palate is smooth and creamy, coconut up front with vanilla, milk chocolate, white pepper, and a whisper of raw sugarcane, finishing clean and moderately long with a gentle coconut-and-oak glow.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over a single cube to appreciate the craftsmanship, or reach for it in a Piña Colada or Coconut Daiquiri — this is the upgrade those cocktails have been waiting for. Pineapple juice and a splash of soda make an easy tropical highball.
