Plantation 5 Year Old Barbados (700 mL)
94 bod. - Ultimate Spirits Challenge
Bačve od američkog hrasta domaćin su ovom rumu gdje stari tri do četiri godine. Zatim se paleta drvenastih i muškatnih oraščića izvlači u francuskim hrastovim bačvama Ferrand gdje rum nastavlja sazrijevati još jednu do dvije godine. Rezultat je suptilni i tropski rum u barbadskom stilu, odličan za aperitive ili klasične koktele poput Mai-Tai-a.
Nos: miris koji otvara prvi krug odnosi se na mirise pekare, ali takođe duvan za lule, tostirani bijeli sljez; sekundarni mirisi, nakon daljnjeg otvaranja otkrivaju aromu masti slanine, crne grožđice, suve šljive.
Nepca: početak je gorko-sladak, pržen, srednje nepce je privlačno i tostirano, gotovo voćno, kao u pečenim plodovima voća i smole. Završnica je srednje duga, čokoladna.

American oak barrels play host to this rum where it ages for three to four years. Next a woody and nutmeg palette is drawn out in Ferrand French oak casks as therum continues to mature for one to two years. The result is a subtle and tropical Barbadian style rum, excellent for aperitifs or classic cocktails like the Mai Tai.
Nose: The opening nosing round is all about baking shop fragrances, but also pipe tobacco, toasted marshmallow; secondary whiffs after further aeration discover bacon fat, black raisin, prune.
Palate: Entry is bittersweet, roasted; midpalate is engagingly toasty, nearly fruity, as in baked orchard fruits, and resiny. Finishes medium long, chocolaty.
