Plantation Barbados 5 Year Old Rum is produced by Plantation Rum, a brand owned by the French company Cognac Ferrand. The distillery is located in Barbados, where the rum is aged for a minimum of five years in ex bourbon casks. After this initial aging, the rum is transported to the Cognac region of France for further maturation in Pierre Ferrand Cognac casks. This unique double aging process imparts the rum with a rich and complex flavor profile.
The rum is made from molasses and distilled using pot and column stills, resulting in a smooth and well balanced spirit. Plantation Barbados 5 Year Old Rum has a flavor profile that includes notes of creamy vanilla, toasted marshmallow, espresso, and allspice, with a long, lingering finish. The rum is bottled at 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) (80 proof), making it a versatile choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in a variety of cocktails.
Plantation Barbados 5 Year Old Rum pairs wonderfully with a range of foods, including dark chocolate desserts, spicy dishes, and grilled meats. Its rich and complex flavors complement these dishes’ savory and sweet elements, enhancing the overall dining experience. The rum has received several awards and accolades, including a Gold Medal at the Rum & Cachaca Masters 2020 and a Silver Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2019.
