The Plantation Barbados Old Reserve 2000 is the second of these sample bottles which I have chosen to review here on my blog. I was given eight sample bottles, each 200 ml in size, which represent a good portion of the Plantation Rum line-up. Based upon this relationship, Cognac Ferrand is able to acquire certain old and unique batches of rum from various Caribbean sources, which they bring back to France and finish in their own warehouses and of course their own Cognac Casks. This relationship is based upon the rum producer’s need for quality oak casks to age their rum. The rum was transported from Barbados to France by Cognac Ferrand to be placed in used Cognac casks to enhance the rum before it was bottled as part of Cognac Ferrand’s growing line-up of Plantation Rum.Ĭognac Ferrand has long had a special relationship with a variety of Caribbean rum producers. The Plantation Barbados Old Reserve 2000 is a Bajan rum blend distilled from both column and traditional pot stills, and aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks.
