Jamaica 5 years 2024 Single Cask Planteray Rum

This five-year-old Jamaican Planteray Rum bursts with aroma and flavour, given a unique twist by a finish in a Ferrand Dry Curaçao Cask. The lively, funky Jamaican style blends perfectly with the zesty elegance of the cask. The result is a tropical party in the glass: playful, aromatic, and refreshingly different. This single cask release from 2024 is crafted for lovers of characterful rum with a bright, citrus-forward edge.

Tasting Notes

Nose

A vibrant nose with notes of orange peel, overripe banana and pineapple, followed by floral hints and a light ethereal touch. Behind the citrus lies a trace of white chocolate, marzipan and soft oak.

Palate

Immediately lively and funky, with flavours of candied orange, ginger and tropical fruit. The curaçao cask influence brings a bittersweet freshness that pairs beautifully with the Jamaican intensity. Subtle hints of spice, vanilla and a touch of salt add further depth.

Finish

Long and tingling, with citrus oil, sugarcane and a persistent fresh bitterness. A hint of clove and orange blossom lingers, along with the signature Jamaican ester profile that gently fades.

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.
