The Plantation Rum BARBADOS 10 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Maturation Edition 2021 is an exquisite bottling from the West Indies Rum Distillery that impresses with its particularly complex maturation. This rum is made from molasses and undergoes a three-day fermentation that reflects the typical taste of the Caribbean. The rum initially matures for four years in bourbon barrels in Barbados, developing a solid base of woody and vanilla aromas. It is then further matured for five and a half years in ex-Cognac barrels made from French oak, which gives it additional complexity and fruity depth.
The special feature of the 2021 edition is the finish in Oloroso sherry casks for four months, which gives the rum an additional dimension. Oloroso sherry, known for its oxidative maturation, is a full-bodied, strong and dry sherry that gives the rum an intense, spicy and dry sherry note. This unique maturation creates a rum that combines the freshness and sweetness of the Caribbean with the depth and complexity of an excellent sherry.
At 49% vol., Plantation Rum Barbados 10 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Maturation offers a strong but harmonious intensity and is suitable both for pure enjoyment and as a base for elegant cocktails.
