West Indies Plantation Barbados 2005 13yr 42,8%

RX1520 Very good Pot & Column Still Rum Under 100€

Introducing the Plantation Barbados, a premium rum hailing from the West Indies distillery in Barbados, crafted by the independent bottler Maison Ferrand. Distilled in 2005 from molasses using both Pot and Column Stills, this exquisite spirit was then aged for 13 years, boasting an ABV of 42.8%. RumX users praise its delightful aroma of dried fruit, coconut, woody notes, maple, and caramel, while the palate delivers a pleasant sweetness, flaunting flavors of caramel, dried figs, sherry, and candied fruit. Some commented on its similarities to Mount Gay XO, with an overall round and delicious taste, though a few wished for a fuller body and less sweetness. In summary, the Plantation Barbados is regarded as a well-rounded, harmonious rum that appeals to a variety of palates.
