Some rums take you places before the glass even touches your lips.

This vintage release is a seamless marriage of island warmth and continental elegance, crafted to express both origin and artistry in perfect balance.

Plantation Barbados Grand Terroir 2005 70cl
Brand: Plantation | Category: Vintage Barbados Rum | ABV: 42.8% | Origin: Barbados & France | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Rich with layers of tropical fruit and spice, banana, mango, pineapple, and baking spices wrapped in toasted oak and a touch of vanilla.
Palate: Full and smooth, flavors of nougat, candied citrus, soft molasses, and roasted nuts emerge alongside gentle hints of cocoa and mint. A rum that feels both bright and grounded.
Finish: Long and warming, the sweetness fades into elegant oak, dried fruit, and a soft, lingering spice.

Production Details
This 2005 vintage was distilled at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados using a blend of pot and column stills. It spent 11 years aging in ex-bourbon barrels in the Caribbean before being shipped to France, where it was matured for an additional 2–3 years in Ferrand Cognac casks. This dual aging process creates a depth that highlights both the tropical terroir and the finesse of French oak finishing.

Perfect For
Perfect for after-dinner sipping or slow moments with a cigar and a sunset. It’s a rum that invites reflection, whether shared with company or enjoyed in peaceful solitude. Also a standout in a luxe rum Old Fashioned.

Expert Notes
Awarded 93 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, this vintage is admired for its complexity, clarity, and balance. Critics praise its ability to remain approachable while offering layers of character and craftsmanship.

Customer Reviews
"Loved it! I tried one neat, one on the rocks, both were smooth and layered. Instantly became a go to bottle."   Kevin
"Does what it does well, but feels lighter and sweeter than I prefer. Still great for after dinner sipping."   Arman
"Beautiful balance of fruit and oak. Reminds me of a tropical dessert with just the right spice."   Leah

Interesting Fact
Although it carries the “Grand Terroir” name, this expression includes a small amount of sugar (known as dosage), a technique borrowed from cognac finishing. It adds a soft touch that stirs up friendly debate among rum purists.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat or with a single large cube to allow its complexity to open. For cocktails, try it in a Rum Old Fashioned with a dash of chocolate bitters or in a decadent twist on a Mai Tai.

Distillery Background
Plantation Rum is the brainchild of Alexandre Gabriel and Maison Ferrand. The brand sources its rums from top-producing Caribbean distilleries, then ships them to France for secondary aging. The West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, now owned by Plantation, provides the robust base spirit. Through time, tradition, and a unique dual-aging philosophy, Plantation delivers terroir driven rums that blur the line between cultures while honoring both.
