The Plantation 2003 Nicaragua 12yo is a distinguished rum offering from Maison Ferrand, boasting a 42% ABV. This exquisite rum has been carefully selected and aged to perfection, displaying a light, fruity, and slightly acidic profile. On the nose, it presents delicate aromas of light fruit and a hint of lactescence, which gradually evolves into the scent of fresh milk. As the aroma develops further, notes of red fruits like strawberries and crushed raspberries come to the fore, intertwined with spices that harmonize with the woodiness. Originating from Central America, specifically Nicaragua, this rum undergoes column distillation—a prevalent method in the region. The initial aging process takes place in American oak (bourbon) barrels, followed by a secondary maturation in France within cognac casks. This dual maturation process imparts a unique complexity to the rum. On the palate, Plantation 2003 Nicaragua 12yo reveals a fruity entry, enriched with the thickness of ripe exotic fruits and compotes. Soft, integrated spices, spearheaded by vanilla, contribute to a smooth mouthfeel that transitions gracefully, leaving a lasting impression. The rum’s character is robust, featuring notes of peony, nuts, passion fruit, and gentle spices, all deriving from its time in bourbon barrels. The overall experience is an exceptional balance of fruit, spice, and woodiness, making this rum a delightful sipping choice.
