The Plantation 1999 Guyana Juul's & Spiritus 17yo is a remarkable rum, boasting an impressive 56.3% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle. Distilled in Guyana in 1999 and bottled in 2016, this 17-year-old rum is a unique offering, particularly for Denmark. Created by the renowned Plantation brand, this rum was distilled using molasses that underwent extra-long fermentation, a process contributing to its unique character. While the added sugar may somewhat distort the authentic taste, it also provides a complex sweetness. The rum was aged for 15 years in equatorial conditions and finished with an additional two years in a cognac barrel, imparting a rich, nuanced profile. Notes of vanilla, bitter chocolate, and citrus on the nose, combined with a spicy and fruity palate, make this rum an exquisite sipper that recalls the complexity of El Dorado 15 Years. Its slightly sweetened profile, while noted as a minor flaw, does not overshadow its fine balance and intricate flavors. Perfect for a cozy winter evening, this rum is a rare find and a must-try for enthusiasts.
