Plantation 2003 St. Lucia Old Reserve is a single vintage rum born from a unique collaboration between Laurie Barnard, the former president of Saint Lucia Distillers, and Alexandre Gabriel, the master blender of Maison Ferrand. This exquisite rum is crafted from a blend of traditional rums distilled in both pot and column stills, culminating in a beverage that is both balanced and complex. The rich, amber-colored rum exudes a powerful aroma featuring Corinthian raisins, dried apricot, spices, frangipane, and vanilla. On the palate, one can detect the delightful notes of toasted almonds and tobacco. The finish is long and persistent, extending the tasting experience with every sip. Aged initially in the Caribbean, the rum undergoes a second maturation process in Charente, France. This dual aging process enriches its aromatic profile, making it a standout choice for rum enthusiasts. The Plantation 2003 St. Lucia Old Reserve 10yo is a testament to the artistic collaboration between two renowned figures in the spirits industry, bringing forth a rum that embodies tradition, expertise, and a myriad of flavors.
