The Plantation Rum Barbados 2011 West Indies is a fine rum produced by the West Indies Rum Distillery (WIRD), which is owned by the renowned cognac house Ferrand. This exceptional rum is part of the 2022 selection of the esteemed Single Casks series.
Initially aged for 4 years in bourbon barrels on the sun-kissed island of Barbados, this rum was then transported to France for a further 6 years of maturation in Ferrand cognac barrels. The final stage of its intricate aging process involved a 9-month period in a barrel of Maury wine from Roussillon, adding a unique dimension to its profile.
The blend consists of rums distilled in 2011 using both pot still and column still methods. The molasses used for fermentation had a fermentation period of 3 to 4 days, contributing to the rum's rich and complex character. This meticulous process highlights the unique characteristics of Barbados terroir and the refined expertise of the Ferrand cognac house.
Boasting a deep amber hue, this rum exudes captivating aromas of tropical fruits, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the palate, it reveals flavors of dried fruits, spices, and a hint of cocoa. The finish is long and smooth, making it an ideal choice for sipping or for crafting sophisticated cocktails.
