Plantation Barbados Grande Reserve 40% 700ml is an exquisite blend of various rums from Barbados, meticulously crafted by the renowned Plantation brand. Initially aged in ex-bourbon casks in the Caribbean, this rum is then given a distinctive finish during a further year of maturation in old French oak casks in southwest France. This dual maturation process infuses the rum with a rich tapestry of flavors, creating a harmonious balance between the tropical essence and the complexities imparted by the French oak. As you open the bottle, your senses are greeted by an enticing bouquet of tropical fruits, vanilla, white peach, and coconut. These aromas seamlessly transition into a palate that is alive with the flavors of candied pineapple, mango, oaky vanilla, fresh citrus, and lively tannins. The rum's sweet profile is beautifully complemented by a subtle spice and caramel undertone, leaving a lasting impression of oak, vanilla, and spice on the finish. The Plantation Barbados Grande Reserve is a testament to the brand's dedication to producing premium rums that offer depth and complexity in every sip.
