Planteray Rum 5 Years Old Barbados Old Traditional Rum 750ml

Planteray 5 Years Old Barbados Old Traditional Rum — Barbados & Cognac, France (750ml)

Planteray — formerly known as Plantation Rum — is one of the world’s most celebrated craft rum houses, renowned for their meticulous double-aging process and their deep collaboration with the Cognac region of France. The 5 Years Old Barbados is the house’s flagship expression: a very fine blend of Barbados rums, aged for a minimum of five years in ex-Bourbon casks in the Caribbean, then shipped to Château de Bonbonnet in the Cognac region to be refined in old Pierre Ferrand Cognac casks — a finishing technique that adds extraordinary depth, complexity, and a silky elegance that sets Planteray apart from any other rum in its class. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 94 points and a Best Buy designation.

The nose is succulent and inviting: toasted coconut, fudge, mellow brown sugar, and oaky vanilla — classic Barbados style at its most expressive. On the palate, the rum is exceedingly smooth and creamy, opening with vanilla, toasted marshmallow, and vanilla wafers, winding into a long, warming finish tinged with espresso and allspice. It is exceptional straight, on ice, or as the backbone of a premium cocktail.
