Plantation Planteray 5 Year Old Rum is a finely crafted spirit that combines the best of the Caribbean's traditional distillation methods with the elegance of French barrel aging. This exceptional rum spends its first three years in ex-bourbon barrels under the tropical climate of Barbados, and is then transferred to ex-cognac Ferrand casks in France for an additional two years. The result is a richly layered rum that showcases a beautiful balance of warmth and complexity.
