A spirit from the birthplace of rum, Barbados, aged first in the island's tropical climate in barrels that have been previously rested in Bourbon Whiskey barrels and then in the temperate climate of France in Cognac barrels to give it its balanced and delicate character.
Completely different from any white rum you have tasted to date. 3 stars is a harmonious blend of aged and unaged rums from Trinidad, Jamaica and Barbados that challenges you to mix it up or enjoy it neat.
A rum ideal for use in Tiki cocktails and punch. OFTD is a blend of rums from Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica at 69 proof, replacing the until recently Overproof from Trinidad at 73 proof.
Plantation Rum continues to explore the world of rum, travelling "under the sea". Plantation Jamaica 2007 is a blend of 28 selected barrels aged for 15 years in the Caribbean and French soils, masterfully showcasing the unique diversity of its terrior. Jamaica is the birthplace of the world's greatest rum distilleries. Jamaica 2007 is a limited edition bottle from the house, where the rum is aged for 13 years in former bourbon barrels in Jamaica and then travels by sea to Charente, France where it is aged for an additional 2 years in French Ferrand oak barrels. Intense tropical notes of banana, vanilla, spice, lotus aromas and orange peel bring out a more distinctive profile with notes of sea salt, camphor and tar.
Inspired by Charles Dickens' hero, Reverend Stiggins, famous for his fondness for pineapple rum. It is the result of a collaboration between two extremely talented gentlemen, A. Gabriel (owner of Maison Ferrand) and D. Wondrich (author of the Imbibe book). Rich, flavoursome and refined with smoky notes, but also aromas of exotic fruits, pineapple, citrus peel and a hint of cloves.
Limited bottling from just 24 barrels, selected from the cellars of Trinidad Distillers Limited, by Alexandre Gabriel and Andrew Hassell, general manager and rum historian at WIRD. Fermented with 3 days' molasses and distilled in multi column, this amazing rum is matured for 11 years in 200 litre ex-bourbon barrels in the distillery's cellars in Trinidad and for a further 1 year in Javrezac, France, in 400 litre French oak barrels from Ferrand.
Tonka nuts, vanilla, caramel, coffee, cooked fruit, spicy nuts and a light floral aroma complete the aromatic profile. The finish is marked by distinct bitter almonds and layers of fresh fruit.
TROPICAL : ELEGANT AND EXOTIC It is said that the first trace of rum distillation dates back to 1651 on the island of Barbados. The vintage Plantation is a perfect example of rum from the island, at once voluptuous, smooth and fruity.
