The Plantation Trinidad 2003 Vintage Edition is a 12-year-old rum crafted by the Trinidad Distillers Limited (TDL) distillery in Trinidad and Tobago and bottled by Maison Ferrand, renowned for their expertise in Cognac. This exquisite rum, distilled from molasses using a Column Still, boasts an ABV of 42% and comes in a 700ml bottle.

The finish is complex, characterized by woody, leathery, and spicy tones, offering a rich and intriguing rum experience.
