For many rum aficionados Eclipse is also the reference by which all rum should be measured. Eclipse has a brilliant golden amber colour and a luxuriously complex aroma.

Planas is an extraordinary blend of pot still, column and batch kettle rums. Aged for up to 6 years, it is elegant, rich and surprisingly intense for a white rum. The complex charcoal filtration process carried out prior to bottling gives this rum its crystal clear appearance and smooth finish.

Plana is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks. It can also be an excellent main ingredient for delicate cocktails like Hemingway Daiquiri

Its a fragrant and sweet whisky, with fresh cut grass and heather notes - not unlike a Glenkinchie (its stablemate). It's a little syrupy on the palate - carrying that sweetness theme through.

A superb crowd-pleasing whisky.

Palate: Spiced, creamy palate entry, with sweet vanilla notes and caramel. Oaky spices.

Finish: Caramel. Toasted oak.
