Black Cask


The richness of double-ageing in toasted oak

Black Cask 2024

Description


In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Black Cask Series, this special bottling is the
result of Planteray Rum’s signature double-ageing process which gives the rum its great
complexity, refinement, and subtle toasted notes.
Following distillation in Barbados and Paraguay, the rum is aged in its countries of origin
for several years in white oak casks. It is then shipped to the south-west of France, where
it is matured in heavily toasted oak Ferrand casks which gives the rum its delicate smoky
notes.
A flavourful and well-balanced rum from Barbados and Paraguay with elegant notes of fruits
and toasted baking spices.
To enjoy on the rocks or neat.
