Description
Planteray 5-Year Barbados Rum – 750 mL (80 Proof)
Dual-Aged Craftsmanship
Planteray 5-Year Barbados Rum is a refined expression of authentic Barbadian rum-making, showcasing a masterful balance of tradition and innovation. Crafted from a blend of pot and twin-column still rums at the historic West Indies Rum Distillery, this rum undergoes a unique dual-aging process. It is first aged for 3–4 years in ex-bourbon barrels in the Caribbean, then shipped to France for an additional 1–2 years of aging in French oak Cognac casks at Maison Ferrand. This technique imparts a smooth, complex character to the rum.
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Inviting aromas of bakery spices, toasted marshmallow, and subtle pipe tobacco, complemented by notes of bacon fat, black raisin, and prune.
-
Palate: A delightful interplay of bittersweet roasted flavors, baked orchard fruits, and resin, with a toasty richness and a hint of caramel.
-
Finish: Medium-long, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and warm spices.
Versatility
Ideal for sipping neat or on the rocks, Planteray 5-Year Barbados Rum also elevates classic cocktails like the Jungle Bird, Daiquiri, Mai Tai, or Rum Old Fashioned. Its balanced flavor profile makes it a versatile addition to any home bar.
