Doorly's 3 Year Old White Rum
This is the most refreshing, fruity, aromatic white rum - blends well to make some of the worlds finest cocktails. Rum has been produced on the island of Barbados for more than 300 years, but it was not until the 1906 Rum Duty Act was passed that the industry began to develop as we know it today. Prior to this, distillation took place on many of the plantations, but the new law meant the distilleries had to obtain a licence and could sell only in bulk. Hence many of the Bridgetown trading companies became bottlers, including Martin Doorly & Co, and the growth of branded names began. Martin Doorly evolved into Doorlys Macaw Rum, and became the first bottled rum exported from the island. Doorlys rums are still famous throughout the world and are made at one of the worlds most modern rum distilleries, Foursquare Distillery.
Planteray Original Dark Double Aged Rum
Planteray Double Aged Dark Rum goes through the process of using ancient techniques that are typical of the golden age of rum. This is first matured in heavily charred American oak barrels in the tropical climate of the Caribbean. This initial ageing process imparts full-bodied flavours and a deep colour. Award winning Cellar Master Alexandre Gabriel then hand picks the best barrels and ships them to the Chateau de Bonbonnet in France, where they are then aged a second time in medium toasted French oak barrels that impart pleasant, spicy tannin notes. This rum is a delightful expression that delivers rich, warm and authentic notes of the Caribbean spirit.
