Rum | 40–50% ABV (varies by cask) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Plantation Single Cask Barbados Very Special Old Rum is part of Plantation’s limited-edition Single Cask series, showcasing unique barrel finishes and small-batch character. Distilled in Barbados at the renowned West Indies Rum Distillery, this expression undergoes tropical aging for several years in ex-bourbon barrels before being shipped to France for further maturation in Ferrand Cognac casks. It is then transferred into a final, carefully chosen cask type—often fortified wine, exotic wood, or specialty spirits—for a distinctive finishing touch. Each cask is bottled individually, meaning ABV, tasting profile, and finish type vary slightly by release.
