Gift guide for Father’s Day 2020

by Brydie Allen

PLANTATION RUM

For Father’s Day, Plantation Rum is swapping the cliche tie for a nice dose of indulgence. The Plantation Experience Box has all the attractions of the ideal gift, with six precious bottles for six destinations that wonderfully represent the gourmet world of rum.

The Plantation Experience Box helps answer that question that comes up every Father’s Day – how do you pamper a man who doesn’t know how to pamper himself? The six 100ml bottles bring the perfect touch of indulgence to make this happen, while helping dad explore the universe of Plantation and its terroir rums.

Its a gift that is tailor-made for lovers of taste, featuring the following Plantation products:

  • 3 Stars White Rum (41.2% ABV), blended from rums from Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica. It’s a rich and balanced rum perfect for use in a Daiquiri.
  • Original Dark (40% ABV), composed of rums from Jamaica and Barbados, with character magnified by a second maturation in the cellars of Maison Ferrand. Perfect with ginger beer.
  • Grande Reserve (40% ABV), a delicious Barbadian rum. Notes of toasted coconut and woody vanilla make it an excellent rum to enjoy as an aperitif or in a cocktail.
  • Gran Añejo (42% ABV), a skilful blend of rums from Guatemala and Belize that is very fresh, and stands out with floral notes and very fine woody notes. Marked by vanilla, pear and green apple, this is a superb tasting rum that also works great in Old Fashioned.
  • Xaymaca (40% ABV), a blend of varying ester levels of Jamaican rums from the legendary Long Pond and Clarendon distilleries. A very complex, slightly smoky and meaty nose, with a dry, floral and fruity palate that opens into notes of pear, pastry, apricot and sugar-apple. Great for sipping, but ideally served as a Xaymaca Collins
  • XO 20th Anniversary (40% ABV), composed of rums from Barbados and created in honour of Alexander Gabriel’s 20 years as a Master Blender. Indulgent with a sophisticated palate and remarkable length, it is the flagship of the Plantation range and made for tasting.

Create an even better experience for dad with a Ginger Storm cocktail!
