Saw this on a shelf in Cordoba and had to give it a shot. Can't pass up a bottle for 9 euro! It ended up being a lot better than some other rum I've had for a lot more money.
As per the label: Solera finished and rested in Pedro Ximenez barrels. I was surprised how much I liked it. Quite sweet with heavy notes of cola and candied fruits. Tastes very similar to Diplomatico Mantuano, though probably more sugar added.
It's hard to find much info on this one but I do recall seeing another variety from Bocoy on the shelf as well. For anyone who likes the sweet rum, this would be a very economical option!

Aroma and the taste is there. For a commercial rum, the price performance is astonishing!!!

Pretty light colour in the glass, but it smells delicious-- nice and fruity. Candied pineapple, maybe even some apple pie.
Unfortunately the taste does not match. Tastes like all the sweetness is trying to cover up the alcohol flavour. Not impressed by this at all.
Upon tasting again, some of the fruit comes out but overall it feels thin, and cheap. Not sure if they've gone through some changes in recipe with the new bottle or what... I've seen so many good reviews for this and I love the Stiggin' Fancy & overproof from Plantation but this is a fail. I would not buy this one again. Stick with the Stiggin' Fancy.

Almost empty bottle review - only one dram remaining:
+ unfiltered; even without adding water, it is hazy / cloudy in the glass
+ oily mouthfeel
+ complex, on both the nose and the palate; could it be a blend of molasses and cane juice based rum?

- no information about the distillery and the cask(s) used

I am happy I had bought this bottle.
Not in a rush to get a second one, but in terms of mouth

First rum I’ve had, very enjoyable. I can drink this straight no problems

Both bring natural, delicious, sweet taste of coconut and of different exotic fruits.
Brinley is absolutely smooth. Very sweet, oily. Long pleasant aftertaste.
Planteray is less smooth, kicks by little strange ethanol. Like all the Plantations has references to Ferrand cask. Taste is rich, a bit spicy, woody. Medium aftertaste.
Both are excellent mixers.
P.S. At the end of the night I've pulled off the coconut from the fridge. Instead of water it contained Wray & Nephew which has been sitting in there for about 10 days. Two drams of DIY coconut and both "industrial" tastes are gone into history ;)

Probably most black rum out of my ~300 sorts.
Slightly tart, delicious, hot. Dates, figs on the palate and the same in short aftertaste. Also, some medicine note detected which I did not like. Still Ok for the sipping, but it ruins dark'n'stormy.

It's watery - I've expected it to be oily like others pot stills. 3 weeks fermentation should result in more estery spirit, but here it's so so. Not very funky, just enough. Taste is interesting, but nothing exceptional.
However, its perfect for Mai Tai.

Blended from American Oak barrels.
Traditional solera style with some interesting taste nuances. Underproof, but feels like 40°.
Very affordable

It can be classified as flavored by cacao \ coffee. Feels like it contains no regular spices.
It's on sweet side, very pleasant, rich taste. Little ethanol kick. Interesting, but short aftertaste.
Good mixer and it's ok for sipping.

By my deathless soul, the last thing a pirate needs be a math-teachin' rum! Lookee here, swabs, there not be much of a smell on this one, but if ya pull in real close - like yer about to board another ship - ya get oak and brown sugar, but there also be somethin' savory jumpin' out from the shadows here and there to stab ya a bit. Not quite buttery and not quite meat... sweat maybe? Ya heard me right: sweat. Bein' on a busy ship, sweat be somethin' ya get used to, but this does have me wonderin' if this be a quartermaster-flavored rum. If ya stick around long enough, ya also get a hint of tart, like cherries blacker than my soul. On the tongue, she be a dry rum for sure! Aye, she has a nice body about her, and that first taste be clear and smooth. Somethin' ya want hangin' around forever, but no. All that lovely fades into a sherry bitterness. At the very, VERY end, there be a surprising hint of tobacco. A nice touch on an otherwise mediocre rum. Be there burn? Aye, but have another shot and you'll forget all about it. She improves the more ya drink. As sippin' rums go, I give her a 3 for appearance, a 2 for smell, a 3 for flavor, and a 5 for burn. 3+2+3+5 = 6. Arrgh...

Nice rum to blend and make daiquiris. I blended havana 3 with this angostura and it turned out surprisingly well

Tastes goos, but for real I personally prefer the Bacardi 8 over this.

Really like the way this bottle goes in a daiquiri.

I think this makes a good mojito. Wanted to test other bottles but here in Brazil is pretty hard to find rum.

Just a little bit of this rum can make a cocktail shine, It really impressed me.

It is in fact a good rum but it disappointed me as I tought it would be much better (especialy in a mai tai).

Aromas of ripe fruits, molasses, a touch of acid, and glue. The taste features a sweet start with molasses, caramel, and leather, leading to a warming finish with petrol notes. Complex and warming.

Riped fruits, molases, touch of acid and glue in aroma; little heating start, sweet molases, caramel, leather and technical notes in body; warming tail with petrol notes.

Aromas of caramel, ripe peach, candied fruit, and molasses. The body offers caramel, olives, a touch of glue, brioche, and roasted pineapple, with a warming cognac finish. Complex and inviting.

Caramel, riped fruits (peach), candid fruit and molases in aroma; biting tounge, caramel, olives, touch of glue, brioche and roasted pineapple in body; warming cognac tail.

Aromas of pineapple, olives, fresh sea salt, flowers, and tropical fruits. The taste features exotic flavors of olives pineapple, licorice, and dried fruits, with smoky and spicy notes. A truly unique and smooth rum.

Riped fruits, fruits, brine, honey in aroma; bitter start, olives, honey, balsamic and apricot snaps in body; heating honey tail.

Raisins, caramel, leather and acid touch in aroma; salt, sweet caramel, biting tounge, petrol, pepper and oak barrel in body; warming salt caramel tail.
