AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Welcome aboard the world’s first floating cellar, where premium rum matures to perfection.
Plantation Barge 166 Barbados is another unique release of its kind. This exclusive rum is the result of tropical aging followed by finishing in a small cask aboard a barge anchored on the Seine River since 2021.
Distilled at West Indies Distillery, the rum aged 5 years tropically in ex-bourbon barrels in Barbados, then 2 years continentally in the Ferrand cellars in France. It was loaded onto the barge in January 2023 and gently rocked for 9 months below deck in a new oak barrel. The result is a truly singular edition, with only 60 bottles filled.
Plantation Barge 166 Barbados (50.6%) boasts a long, complex, and persistent flavor, enriched with sweet spices. A treasure worthy of a prime spot in any collection.
Description:
The uniqueness of Plantation rums lies in their double aging process. They first rest in American oak barrels, mostly ex-bourbon. The tropical climate of their homeland accelerates the evaporation of harsher, volatile compounds in younger rums. Later, they travel to France for secondary maturation in French oak cognac casks.
Each Plantation rum is unique. Then there are the Vintage and limited editions, which are even rarer. And if that weren’t enough, some releases are entirely unprecedented.
The latest innovation is a floating cellar, anchored on the Seine River. Barge 166, originally built in 1948 to transport people and goods, has been completely renovated by Maison Ferrand into a gently rocking cellar located in the cargo hold. Inside, you’ll find racks for 1,500 thirty-liter barrels, used for private bottlings.
