Plantation 8 Years Old (Port Finish) delicando 2023

Released for delicando in 2023, this Plantation bottling is an eight year old Barbados rum from Maison Ferrand, finished in port wine casks and bottled at 46.8%. Barbados rum in the house style typically shows toffee, brown sugar, ripe banana, vanilla and soft baking spice over a smooth medium body and light to medium oak. A port cask finish should layer in darker fruit and a touch of wine sweetness around that base, deepening the colour and the red fruit register. As with the wider Plantation range from Ferrand, this carries the line's openly dosed approach rather than an additive free profile, so it leans toward a rounder, sweeter style of Bajan rum.
