Plantation 5 Year Old Barbados Rum
70cl
/
40% Vol
One of the mainstays of the Plantation range, this has been distilled in Barbados in a combination of both double-column and copper pot stills. Tropical ageing was done for 3-4 years in ex-Bourbon casks before being transported and aged in Europe in ex-Cognac Ferrand casks for 1-2 years. A subtle and quite delicate Barbadian rum that is perfect for cocktails and aperitifs.

Tasting Notes from the Producer
Aromas (without water)
The opening nosing round is all about baking shop fragrances, but also pipe tobacco, toasted marshmallow; secondary whiffs after further aeration discover bacon fat, black raisin, prune.
Flavour
Entry is bittersweet, roasted; midpalate is engagingly toasty, nearly fruity, as in baked orchard fruits, and resiny. Finishes medium long, chocolaty.
