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 : Planteray rums are crafted from carefully selected spirits sourced from some of the finest distilleries in the Caribbean, including Barbados, Jamaica, Panama, Nicaragua, Trinidad, Guyana and Grenada. The brand is structured around two distinct collections: blends and vintage rums. The blends result from precise assemblages created by Alexandre Gabriel, Cellar Master of Maison Ferrand, while the vintage expressions come from a single cask and are released in very limited quantities. Based in Angeac, at the heart of Cognac’s Golden Triangle, Maison Ferrand brings its unique expertise, notably through finishes in local casks that enhance the complexity and elegance of certain rums. Today, Planteray stands as an essential reference in the world of premium spirits.
