Plantation Extreme Series V 21 Year Barbados WIRD 2000 RumThis classically Bajan pot column blend was first aged for 5 years in Barbados before being moved to Europe to age another 14 years. It was then transferred to age another 2 years in 350L Ferrand French oak barrels.

1" tall hard enamel pin

Oily and complex too
