Planteray Barbados 5 Year Rum

It is a highly versatile spirit. Its best application is acting as the foundation for classic cocktails like a Rum Punch, an Old Fashioned, or a premium Cuba Libre. Its smooth profile and subtle sweetness also make it an excellent choice for sipping neat or over ice.

Nose: Inviting aromas of toasted marshmallow, pipe tobacco, baked fruit, and roasted coconut.

Palate: Rich and slightly sweet. Prominent notes of chocolate, caramel, and vanilla blend beautifully with fresh raisins and tropical fruit.

Finish: Medium in length and very smooth, leaving satisfying hints of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and toasted oak.

The rum is distilled from molasses using both traditional twin column and historic copper pot stills in Barbados. It first matures in former bourbon barrels for three to four years in the tropical Caribbean climate. It is then shipped to France, where it ages for an additional one to two years in French oak Ferrand casks.

• The double aging process bridges two distinct climates, utilizing the tropical heat of Barbados for rapid extraction and the cool cellars of France for elegant oxidation.
• The rum is produced at the Stave's West Indies Rum Distillery, which has been continuously operating on the beaches of Barbados since 1893.
• This highly decorated bottle proudly carries the new Planteray name, which combines the words plant for the sugarcane and ray for the sun.
