The Plantation 2013 Barbados Single Vintage is a limited-edition rum from Plantation, distilled in 2013 at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados. It is a blend of rums distilled in both column and pot stills, which were then aged for 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels in the tropical climate of Barbados. After this initial aging, the rum was transferred to France and matured for an additional year in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks in Javrezac. This second maturation process results in a complex and nuanced flavor profile.
This particular vintage is the 5th opus of the "Under the Sea" collection from Plantation, which highlights the unique terroir of different countries. The 2013 Barbados vintage is a blend of rums selected from 20 barrels, chosen by Alexandre Gabriel, the Cellar Master of Plantation Rums.
On the nose, the rum offers vibrant aromas of coconut, orange blossom, peach, banana, vanilla, roasted almonds, cinnamon, and black pepper. The palate is complemented by notes of honey-drizzled pastries, hazelnut, gingerbread, tobacco, milk chocolate, and caraway. The finish is long and fruity, with lingering hints of lemons, pears, liquorice, toffee, and pepper.
Overall, the Plantation 2013 Barbados Single Vintage is a rich and well-balanced rum, with a complex flavor profile that is sure to please rum enthusiasts. Its unique aging process and limited availability make it a special addition to any rum collection.
