Reviewed June 2019The subdued aroma is woody, with just a
hint of vanilla. But the palate tells a more complex
story, opening with oak and vanilla before rounding
to dark fruit, a fleeting hint of pineapple and
dusty cocoa powder. Cinnamon and cayenne sparks
emerge on the long, warming finish. Made primarily
with Barbados rum blended with a smaller amount
of older Jamaican rum (aged 10 to 15 years). *Best

Notes
From the distillery: The essence of Plantation Rum Original Dark is the wealth of its palate and its technique of double aging. Plantation Original Dark comprises the elegant rums of Trinidad which are distilled then aged in their tropical climate in the Caribbean in American oak barrels under high heat before traveling to France. Once in Europe, the House cellar master decides on less "high esters" for the Trinidadian rum and blends in old rums from Jamaica (15 - 20 yrs.) This end result finishes like sweet nectar but also adapts beautifully to classic cocktails made with dark rum such as the Mai Tai or Daiquiri.
