This exquisite Plantation Single Cask rum, distilled in 1998 at the renowned Demerara Distillery in Guyana, is a true testament to the art of rum-making. Initially aged for 17 years in ex-bourbon barrels in Guyana's tropical climate, this rum was then transported to France. Here it underwent further maturation in casks that previously held Ferrand Cognac for two years and finally finished for six months in Ocho Tequila barrels. Bottled by Plantation in 2018, this rum boasts a complex and captivating profile. The nose reveals bright and fresh notes of agave, zesty limes, black pepper, almonds, and tropical fruits like mango. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with dense oak notes, salty olives, cloves, and cocoa, highlighted by initial sweetness and a hint of gingerbread. The long and lingering finish carries echoes of caramel, spice, citrus, dried fruit, and a distinctive tequila twist, making this rum a must-try for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
