Plantation Grand Reserve 5Yr Rum 750ml - Item Code: 06848
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Plantation Grand Reserve 5Yr Rum 750ml greets the palate with a smooth, inviting character that makes it perfect for relaxed evenings or celebratory gatherings. With an ABV of 40%, this Barbadian rum is crafted using traditional methods, including aging in bourbon casks under the Caribbean sun before finishing in French oak barrels. The result is a spirit that balances approachability with depth, offering both casual sippers and connoisseurs something to savor.
The flavor profile unfolds with notes of ripe banana, coconut, and vanilla layered over hints of toasted oak and baking spices. When paired with grilled pineapple, its tropical sweetness is elevated while the subtle spice complements caramelized fruit flavors. Enjoying it alongside dark chocolate brings out its richer undertones—think molasses and cocoa—creating a harmonious finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

Rum is a distilled spirit made primarily from sugarcane juice or molasses, offering a diverse range of flavors and styles. It can be produced using either pot still or column still distillation methods, resulting in various textures that range from smooth to rich, and light-bodied to full-bodied depending on the style and aging process.
This versatile spirit can be unaged, known as white rum, or aged in barrels to develop deeper flavors found in gold and dark rums. The aroma profile typically includes sweet and fruity notes with hints of caramel, vanilla, and spice; tropical fruits and coconut may also emerge based on the aging conditions. Rum is commonly used in cocktails such as Mojitos, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, Rum Punches, and Mai Tais, making it a staple in both casual gatherings and sophisticated mixology.
