Planteray Mister Fogg Navy Rum Sail No. 2 (70cl, 55.7%)

Planteray Mister Fogg Navy Rum Sail No. 2 is a navy rum paying homage to naval tradition and great voyages. The blend draws on rums from various Caribbean origins, first aged in bourbon barrels in the tropics before transport in casks to the Cognac region of France. A second ageing takes place in oak barrels, followed by prolonged oxygenation in large open casks near a river, recreating the humid atmosphere of the London docks. On the nose there are notes of caramel and gingerbread, with roasted pineapple and pine resin, developing towards plum and cooked prunes. The palate is pastry-like, round and smooth, with bitter and vegetal notes, sugarcane and sweet spices. The finish brings light spices and marmalade, a light smokiness and caramelised notes.
