Indulge in the exquisite Plantation 2003 Belize XO Grapia Cask Finish, a unique rum experience bottled at 43.1% ABV in a 700ml presentation. Crafted by the renowned Plantation brand, this rum originates from Belize and has undergone a meticulous aging process since its distillation in 2003. While the influence of grapia wood on the rum is subtle, the overall profile reveals a sophisticated blend of flavors that are both inviting and complex.
On the nose, this rum is gently shy yet promises intrigue with hints of woody, spicy notes, complemented by delicate aromas of coconut, almond, and soft pepperiness. The palate unfolds with a sweet, creamy texture, revealing layers of nutty flavors, baked apple, milk chocolate, and hazelnut. The finish is lingering, presenting a harmonious blend of woody, spicy, nutty, and creamy characteristics, with a sweet and almond undertone.
Overall, Plantation 2003 Belize XO Grapia Cask Finish offers a delightful array of sweet, spicy, and nutty flavors, wrapped in a creamy texture that leaves a lasting warmth on the palate. Though the grapia wood's influence is subtle, the rum stands out with its unique and engaging profile.
This rum is distinguished by its aging process in grapia casks, which imparts a subtle but intriguing influence on its flavor profile, along with its origin from Belize and bottling by the esteemed Plantation brand.
The rum offers a complex combination of sweet, creamy, nutty, and spicy flavors, with notes of chocolate, baked apple, hazelnut, and subtle woody undertones.
As a rum enthusiast, I find the Plantation 2003 Belize XO Grapia Cask Finish to be a subtle yet captivating experience. While the grapia wood influence may not be distinctly pronounced, the combination of sweet, nutty, and creamy flavors creates a well-rounded and enjoyable sip. The gentle nose and inviting palate make it a delightful addition to any rum collection.
