Portrait: What makes the Planteray Barbados XO special

Some gifts say, "I put some effort into this." This one says, "I have excellent taste - and you should feel honored." The Planteray Barbados XO 20th Anniversary doesn't come alone, but with two glasses. After all, shared joy tastes twice as good – or at least disappears half as quickly. Origin? Barbados, the cradle of rum, where sun, sugarcane, and patience enjoy a rather successful three-way relationship.
There, the molasses is fermented at the traditional West Indies Rum Distillery, carefully distilled, and aged for many years in bourbon Casks - eight to fifteen, to be precise. But that's not all: After its tropical interlude, the rum travels to France, to Château de Bonbonnet, where it matures a second time in various wooden casks.
This "double aging" is like a master's degree for rum - and the result tastes accordingly successful. The gift box is almost too beautiful to open - but who wants to just look when you can enjoy it?

The two glasses are not simply an addition, but an invitation: to toast, to philosophize, or simply to be still and marvel. With its elegant design, its impressive history, and a rum as mature as you'd like to be, this set is the ideal gift for connoisseurs, explorers, and anyone who thinks rum is only for cocktails. In short: The Planteray Barbados XO with two glasses is not a gift. It's a mini world tour in a box – with a guaranteed return flight to your living room.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Planteray Barbados XO tastes like

• Nose: Robust and aromatic with distinct aromas of coconut, banana, and vanilla. These are complemented by toasted wood notes and a hint of spice cake. Overall, a clear, balanced aroma reminiscent of ripe fruit and light roasted notes.
• Palate: On the palate, round and harmonious, with a good balance between sweetness and spice. Initially, cinnamon-sweet notes emerge, followed by vanilla, toast, and toasted coconut. Then, ripe bananas, candied fruit, and a touch of honey come to the fore. The overall impression is full-bodied yet pleasantly approachable.
• Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering hints of vanilla, spices, and sugarcane. The sweet and spicy impressions remain perceptible and fade slowly without becoming heavy.
