Product Details
Distilled in the three stars of the Caribbean and carefully blended by Alexandre Gabriel, Planteray Rum Master Blender. Planteray Three Stars Rum is a skillful marriage of the best of the Caribbean. The islands of Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad each have a distinct rum style developed over centuries and each brings own special character to Planteray Three Stars Rum. Manned Trinidad rum imparts its classic elegance, Barbados delivers a sophistication with a balanced mouthfeel and Jamaica conveys its unmistakable structure and rustic edge. The goal of a great Master Blender is to understand each component and use it to create the perfect rum. Armed with our ancestral low-how and this purpose in mind, the Planteray Rum team and Thive created this rum that we call "Planteray Three Stars Rum" in honor of the three historical rum producing islands of the Caribbean. We hope you enjoy it. Tasting Notes: On the nose, Planteray Three Stars Run displays delicate notes of tropical thus intertwined with brown sugar and ripe banana. Vibrant and well-balanced on the palate, it displays subtle spices and floral notes, finishing with sugar cane and vanilla. At the heart of it, the history of rum is the history of sugar. Originally grown over 10,000 years ago in New Guinea, cultivation techniques weren't developed until over 7,000 years later in China. This 'magical' plant was found to give something similar to honey without the help of bees, and once it was able to be cultivated, it began to quickly spread. Sugar cane continued to grow throughout Asia and into Europe and by the 1400s, advanced sugar presses had been developed and sugar was cultivated for large-scale refinement for the first time. Sugar cane was brought to Brazil in the 1500s and spread into the Carib bean. By the 1700s, the West Indies produced 80% of the sugar consumed in Western Europe. At the same time in the Caribbean, rum was born and quickly became very popular. Barbados, 1637: a Dutch merchant named Pietr Blower comes from Brazil to develop rum distillation. By 1651 rum was widely imbibed on the island. Rum's popularity continued to grow and starting in the 1730s, the British Royal Navy adopts a daily ration of about a half pint of rum per day per sailor. The rum usually came from the islands of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados. On these ships, rum was most often mixed with water and perhaps some citrus and sugar. This was called Grog. We like this idea, our recommendation: a daiquiri punch to share with friends! The Three Stars of The Caribbean: Barbados / Stade's Rum Distillery (13 degrees 12’ N. 59 degrees 63’ W).
