Plantation 2005 Barbados 13yo 42.8% 700ml information

The Plantation 2005 Barbados 13yo is a premium rum with an alcohol content of 42.8% and a volume of 700ml. As a vintage molasses rum distilled in 2005 at the renowned West Indies Rum Distillery (WIRD) in Barbados, it stands out for its high-quality production and heritage. This exceptional rum was initially aged for eleven years in the tropical climate of Barbados, enhancing its rich and complex character. Following this period, it was transferred to France for an additional two to three years of aging in Maison Ferrand's cognac casks, which imparted even more depth and sophistication to its profile.

The Plantation 2005 Barbados 13yo is a blend of distillates from both column and pot stills, resulting in a balanced and intricate flavor profile. The nose reveals exotic notes of orange, vanilla, and biscuit, which become more pronounced with a bit of air, unveiling grilled notes of toasted wood, nuts, and almonds. On the palate, it is round and smooth, featuring a warm and vanilla-forward oakiness that is beautifully balanced by the sweetness of molasses. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant warmth and a hint of spice.

Overall, the Plantation 2005 Barbados 13yo is a meticulously crafted and delicious rum that will undoubtedly appeal to both cognac and rum enthusiasts. Its complex flavor profile and smooth finish make it an excellent choice for sipping neat or on the rocks, as well as for use in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or the Daiquiri.
