Description
The perfect gift for those rum enthusiasts in your life โ The Plantation Rums Experience Gift Pack!
This specially-curated bundle of award winning deliciousness features 6 premium artisanal rums to take you on a journey through the Caribbean with Rums from Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guatemala and Belize.
Conveniently packaged in 6 x 100ml separate bottles in a beautifully presented Gift Box, they make the perfect gift.
The included rums are :
- 3 Stars White Rum (41.2%) – A blend of three great Caribbean wines, this white rum has both richness and subtlety, playing first in a pastry register with notes of brown sugar, banana flambรฉ and candied pineapple enhanced with delicate touches of vanilla greedy.
- Original Dark Rum (40%) – The rich and intense style of Jamaica and Barbados, with its notes of plum, banana and vanilla, is enhanced by a meticulous blend and further maturation in France.
- Grande Reserve (40%) – Tropical candied fruits leading to voluptuous notes of bourbon vanilla, whose richness is perfectly balanced by fresh fruits and delicate tannins.
- Gran Anejo (42%) – Rich and structured, developing fine lingering notes of tobacco and liquorice, with beautiful woody notes.
- XO 20th Anniversary (40%) – Delicious woody notes and mango testify to its advanced age, resulting from a long maturation in French oak barrels.
- Xaymaca Special Dry (43%) – Rich and quite woody, with notes of cooked apple, lemon, mango and nuts, at the same time it is spicier with notes of white pepper, vanilla and nutmeg.
Each rum-producing country constitutes a veritable “Terroir” with its own traditions, production techniques and identity. Alexandre Gabriel, Plantation Cellar Master, travels principally in the Caribbean as well as Central and South America and the Fiji Islands to select, one by one, the best barrels in each region.
Plantation rums mature in a two-stage ageing process, first in their country of origin, in American oak bourbon casks that impart notes of vanilla and coconut. After several years, the fums are then brought to France to the Chateau de Bonbonnet in Cognac, where they age further in small French oak casks, previously used for Ferrand cognac, which enrich the rum with delicate tannic undertones. In this final maturing process, Plantation rums develop their signature finesse and structure.
With Experience, Alexandre Gabriel offers a selection of six legendary Plantation rums. The box is a superb invitation to explore the features of rum’s terroirs through six beautiful bottles, six fascinating stops on a journey of discovery through the rich world of molasses-based rum.
