Plantation 1993 Guyana Extreme No. 4 27yo 51.9% 700ml is a distinctive rum that showcases a captivating aging journey. Distilled at the renowned Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana, this exceptional spirit began its maturation in 1993. After eight years in the tropical climate inside an ex-Bourbon cask, it was transferred to Europe, where it spent over 15 years in an ex-Whisky cask. The final phase of its maturation included over three years in an ex-Cognac cask, imparting intricate layers of flavor and complexity. With only 488 bottles available, this rare gem from the Plantation Extreme Series boasts an ABV of 51.9%. The unique aging process results in a multifaceted aroma of smoky wood, iodine, salted pretzels, anise, and citrus notes. On the palate, it delivers an intriguing combination of anise, mango, and dry smoke reminiscent of an ashtray and old coffee dregs. The finish is long-lasting with notes of dry ash, lit cigarettes, and hickory wood. Despite its controversial profile, this rum offers an extraordinary experience for those who appreciate bold and unconventional flavors. While some may find it challenging to grade due to its unique characteristics, it remains a high-quality spirit worthy of exploration for rum enthusiasts.
