This is one of the rums from the Planteray Single Casks 2024 series.

Tasting note

Nose

Barbados 2016 opens with enticing aromas of tropical fruits such as pineapple, banana and mango, blended with creamy notes of vanilla and toffee. A hint of citrus and subtle hints of toasted oak and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg add depth to the aroma.

Taste

On the palate, this rum is nicely balanced, with lively fruity flavours of juicy pineapple and ripe banana, combined with sweet accents of caramel and honey. The influence of barrel ageing adds notes of vanilla, toasted nuts and a hint of oak, creating a soft and full-bodied texture. There are also slight spicy nuances that further enrich the flavour.

Finish

The finish is medium-long and elegant, with lingering sweet fruit notes and subtle woody undertones. A slight spicy warmth remains, making for a refined and harmonious finish. Barbados 2016 offers a delightful balance of sweetness, fruitiness and spiciness, ideal for lovers of balanced and complex rums.

Planteray Rum

Planteray Rum, formerly known as Plantation Rum, is a renowned rum producer focused on creating high-quality rums from all corners of the world. The brand, founded by Alexandre Gabriel, is a pioneer in the use of dual maturation techniques. The rums mature first in their tropical homelands, where they absorb the powerful influences of the local climate, and are then taken to Château de Bonbonnet in France for a second maturation period in French oak barrels. This double maturation creates a unique balance of rich, tropical flavours and refined, complex notes.

Planteray is known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. They use only the best sugarcane molasses and traditional distillation techniques. The brand has a wide range of expressions, from light, fruity rums to rich, deeply matured varieties. Praised worldwide for their complexity and depth, Planteray's rums are loved by rum lovers and cocktail connoisseurs alike for their versatility and unique flavour profiles.
