Planteray Rum XO 20th Anniversary Barbados

Keywords : Indulgent / Rich / Chocolatey

The spirit : This XO rum from the Planteray brand (formerly "Plantation") represents the quintessence of the Caribbean. Created to celebrate Alexandre Gabriel's 20th year as Master Blender at Maison Ferrand, here is a blend of rums aged 12 to 20 years, all originating from Barbados. While its aging was carried out for the most part under tropical latitudes, this sublime spirit also benefited from 12 to 18 months of finishing in Cognac casks at Château de Bonbonet in France. This double aging process gives it nobility and character. On the palate, you will find a beautiful texture and a very great richness carried by cocoa notes, aromas of coffee, vanilla, coconut, as well as a perfectly integrated woodiness. Exquisitely indulgent, it stands on its own and also pairs wonderfully with chocolate desserts.

Type : Molasses rum

Volume: 70cl

Alcohol content : 40%

The brand : The rums in the Planteray range come from the best distilleries in the Caribbean (Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, or Trinidad). The brand's collection is divided into two distinct ranges: on one side, the blends, and on the other, the vintage rums. The blends are refined blends by Alexandre Gabriel, cellar master at Maison Ferrand. As for the vintages, they come directly from the cask and are available in limited quantities. The brand Ferrand, which markets the Planteray brand, is located in Angeac, in the golden triangle of Cognac.  Moreover, some rums sometimes undergo finishing in casks from the region to enhance their complexity. A benchmark brand in the spirits sector that you can trust with your eyes closed!
