Rum - Planteray PXXO 40° - Bottle Of 70Cl

The Planteray PXXO is a premium 70cl Barbados rum that celebrates the brand’s evolution from the "Plantation" name. Produced at the West Indies Rum Distillery, it undergoes a signature triple-aging process: first in ex-Bourbon barrels in the tropics, then in Ferrand Cognac casks in France, and finally finishing in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. Bottled at 40% ABV, this expression blends Caribbean heritage with refined European cellar techniques, offering a more opulent and complex profile than the standard XO release.

On the nose, the Planteray PXXO opens with a familiar wave of the Barbados signature—honeyed vanilla, toasted coconut, and ripe banana—but quickly deepens into the specific influence of the Pedro Ximénez casks. You’ll detect richer, darker notes of sun-dried raisins, dates, and a hint of licorice. The palate is exceptionally smooth and "silky," offering a luxurious mouthfeel where the initial sweetness of caramel and milk chocolate evolves into sophisticated layers of bitter orange peel, roasted walnuts, and baking spices. The finish is long and remarkably mellow, leaving a lingering trail of red fruits and sherry-wine tannins that balance the rum's natural sweetness without becoming cloying.
