The Barbados XO is one of the oldest releases in the Plantation Rum series.
This rum is an assemblage of the oldest reserves from the house, aged for many years in the Caribbean and then carefully blended by the cellar master at Chateau de Bonbonnet. After blending, the rum is further refined in small French oak barrels for an additional 12-18 months.
