Planteray Rum BARBADOS 5 Years Old Traditional Rum 40% vol. 0.7 l

Planteray Rum BARBADOS 5 Years Old is a 5-year-old blended rum from Barbados, produced at the historic West Indies Rum Distillery. The raw material used is sugar cane molasses, which is first fermented for three to four days. A distinctive feature is the combination of two distillation methods: the blend uses distillates from both the Twin Column Still and the Old Gregg’s Pot Still. In this way, Planteray combines different distillation characteristics to create a well-balanced Barbados rum. Another key feature is Planteray’s characteristic ‘double ageing’, which combines tropical and continental cask maturation.


The first stage of ageing takes place over three years in Barbados in ex-bourbon casks. The rum is then sent to France, where it undergoes a further two years of continental ageing in Ferrand casks. This results in a total ageing period of five years under varying climatic conditions. The producer also specifies 160 g/hl AA of volatile components and a dosage of 16 g/l. At 40 per cent in the 0.7-litre bottle, Planteray Barbados 5 Years embodies the combination of molasses, pot-still and column-still distillates, as well as two-stage cask maturation in Barbados and France. This combination makes it a versatile example of the traditional Barbados rum style.

Planteray Barbados 5 Years Old can be served neat, on the rocks or in cocktails.

For enjoyment neat, a serving temperature of around 18 to 20 °C is recommended, so that the influences of the Bourbon and Ferrand casks can develop fully.
