Only 24 casks of this mysterious Barbadian-French beauty were made.

Barbados really gave us so much. First of all, there's the one and only Rihanna but as if that wasn't enough, it's also the birthplace of Rum. Plantation Rum is owned by the famous French Cognac house Maison Ferrand, led by the masterful Alexandre Gabriel that has decades of experience. He's also a Rum aficionado, so it made perfect sense when he began his love affair with resurrecting ancient Rum-making techniques in Barbados.

Plantation Barbados 2011 Rum is produced at the West Indies Distillery, which was founded in 1893 and it stands right on a gorgeous white beach. This rare beauty leads a lonely existence as it's rested in American Oak ex-Bourbon casks for 4-5 years in a part of the distillery called 'the no man's land' – only the master distiller and the master blender are familiar with its whereabouts. Then, it travels to the Ferrand cellars in the Cognac region where it's finished for another 4-5 years. Only 24 casks were made of this deliciously smooth exotic dram.
