Double-aged Barbados rum – 9 years of aging

Plantation is known for its distinctive double maturation, where the rum is first matured in its country of origin and then finished in France. Here you get an intense and authentic tropical maturation combined with French finesse:

• 8 years: Tropical aging – Brighton Beach, Barbados
• 1 year: Continental aging – Javrezac, France
• Cask type: French oak Ferrand casks

The tropical aging in Barbados provides deep concentration, richness and ripe fruit notes. The rum is then shipped by sea to southwest France, where it spends another year in French oak Ferrand casks. This adds extra layers of spice, polished oak and an elegant finish.

Staying true to the island’s traditional blend style, this Barbados 2013 rum combines distillate from both column and the historic Gregg pot still (dating back to the 19th century). The result is an expression that’s soft yet complex – with warmth, depth and a vibrant aromatic play.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Ripe tropical fruit, pineapple, orange peel and vanilla, with roasted nuts, coconut and a hint of spice and sea breeze.

Flavor: Rich and intense with caramel, brown sugar, dried fruit, nutmeg and toasted oak. The alcohol strength gives power and structure, but is harmoniously integrated.

Finish: Long and warm with cocoa, spices and elegant cask character that lingers long after the last sip.
