Planteray Barbados 5 Years Old is an authentic rum that embodies the traditional rum culture of the island of Barbados and achieves its special depth through careful, two-stage maturation. Planteray stands for Caribbean craftsmanship combined with European ageing techniques, resulting in a harmoniously balanced rum that combines both classic and modern flavor profiles. It is produced using the pot still and column still method, which gives the rum its balanced structure of aromatic intensity and soft drinkability.
Its maturation begins with 3 years in former bourbon barrels in Barbados, where the rum develops its fruity, caramel-like basic structure. This is followed by a 2-year finish in ex-Ferrand casks in France, which gives it additional complexity and subtle wood and spice notes. This double maturation is characteristic of the brand's style and ensures a multi-layered, balanced aroma spectrum. The rum is bottled with colorant and is 40% by volume, which makes it particularly accessible while still showing depth.
