— PLANTATION BLACK CASK —
A SUCCULENT RUM FROM BARBADOS AND PERU
Plantation Black Cask is the result of a unique double-ageing process which gives the rum its great complexity, refinement and subtle toasted notes. Following distillation in Barbados and Peru, the rum is aged in its country of origin for several years in 200-liter white oak casks. It is then shipped to the southwest of France, where it is matured in small toasted oak Ferrand casks which give the rum its elegant smoky notes.
A succulent rum from Barbados and Peru, two great rum producing countries, it has delicate spicy and floral notes. It may be enjoyed on the rocks or neat.
