Planteray Black Cask Barbade / Trinidad (40%)

An amber rum blended from rums of Barbados and Trinidad, distilled from molasses and aged in a tropical climate. It undergoes double ageing: several years in ex-bourbon American oak casks in the Caribbean, then a second maturation in France in small, lightly toasted cognac casks from Maison Ferrand. It is bottled at 40% alcohol. The nose has tropical fruit, vanilla and caramel, with grilled and slightly smoky notes from the cognac casks. The palate shows molasses, vanilla, soft spices such as cinnamon, and woody, lightly grilled notes, with a persistent finish of ripe fruit, toasted cognac notes and spices.
