Plantation 5 Year Old Barbados Rum
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. |
