Plantation Grande Reserve 5 Year Old Rum 750ml

Manufacturer's notes: Plantation Double Ageing. Firstly aged in Bourbon casks in the tropical climate of Barbados, this rum is then shipped to the Chateau de Bonbonnet, France, to be further matured in small Ferrand barrels under the watchful eye of our award-winning Cellar Master. This special double ageing technique provides Plantation rum with its rare elegance and finesse.

Nose: " The opening nosing round is all about backing shop fragrances, in particular brown sugar, honey, dark caramel, candied almonds, but also pipe tobacco, toasted marshmallow; secondary whiffs after further aeration discover bacon fat, lard, black raisin, prune; lots of aromatic activity here."

Palate: "Entry is bittersweet, caramelized onion-like, baked bisquity, roasted; mid palate is engagingly toasty, nearly fruity, as in baked orchard fruits, and resiny. Finishes medium long, bittersweet chocolaty."
