This is a 5 year old Barbados rum from the Plantation range, aged in bourbon barrels before being transported to Cognac Ferrand in France for a finish in Cognac casks! Very good indeed…

Distillery notes
"Planteray Rum Barbados 5 Years is a blend of pot and column distilled rums in the traditional Barbadian style from Stade’s West Indies Rum Distillery. After ageing for three years next to the Caribbean Sea, Planteray Barbados 5 Years travels to France, where it spends another two years in ex-cognac casks to acquire roundness and structure.

Planteray Rum 5 Years is a 100% authentic and balanced Barbados rum that has undergone maturation in the tropical climate of Barbados and secondary maturation in the south-west of France."

drinksbiz Magazine August/September 2024
"This five-year-old Barbados rum is aged in bourbon barrels for three to four years, then sent to Cognac Ferrand in France for finishing in cognac casks, which draws out notes of wood and nutmeg. It has aromas of leather and caramel with hints of cinnamon, dried coconut and vanilla. Initially sweet on the palate, with molasses and hints of leather, alongside orage rind, salted butter and allspice. The finish is sweet with firey spice at the very end."
