Blend and Aging

The rums used in this Planteray expression come from Barbados. First aged for several years in ex-bourbon casks under the tropical climate of the island, they develop intensity, power and generous aromas. The rum is then refined in small Ferrand barrels at Château de Bonbonnet, France, gaining smoothness and greater aromatic complexity.
