The Plantation 2011 WIRD Barbados Oloroso Sherry Single Cask 10yo is a premium rum that epitomizes the excellence of Caribbean rum craftsmanship. Originating from the West Indies Rum Distillery (WIRD) in Barbados, this high-quality molasses-based rum was first aged on the tropical island before being transported to France for additional maturation in Cognac casks. The final touch in this meticulous aging process is a finishing period in former Oloroso Sherry casks from Spain, which imparts a complex and well-rounded flavor profile. Despite its relatively young age of 10 years, this rum boasts a rich and full-bodied taste. It features notes of chocolate, berry fruit, dried fruit, peppery spice, vanilla, caramel, and oak, making it a truly memorable experience for the palate. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 49.3%, the rum's alcohol content is finely balanced, allowing it to be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavors. This rum is part of the Plantation Single Cask Edition 2021, a collection of high-quality rums from independent bottler Maison Ferrand. Known for their expertise in Cognac, Maison Ferrand's Plantation Rum line brings a taste of the Caribbean to a wider audience. This particular expression is a standout, offering complexity and depth that will impress even the most discerning rum connoisseurs.
