Distilled in 2005, this vintage is a blend of both pot still & column still distillation from the West Indies Rum Distillery. Full of personality, it is aged 11 years in Barbados & 2-3 years in France, & offers aromas of nougat, chocolate mint & candied walnut, evolving next to candied orange & vanilla with a sweet finish. 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 isl&, at once voluptuous, smooth & fruity.
