The Plantation Rum 2007 Australia Vintage Edition is a limited-edition rum crafted with care and precision. Distilled at the Beenleigh Distillery in Queensland, Australia, this rum offers a unique journey for the palate. Aged for 13 years in bourbon barrels in Australia, it is then transported to France for an additional year of aging in cognac barrels from Maison Ferrand. This meticulous process results in a rum with a fruity and full-bodied flavor profile, perfect for sipping and savoring.
Made from molasses that has been fermented for 12 days using both traditional and wild yeasts, the plantation rum boasts a rich and concentrated aroma. The pot still distillation process in 2007 adds depth and complexity to the spirit. The final product is a selection of 21 casks, each contributing to the rum's distinctive character.
On the nose, the rum greets you with floral notes intertwined with tropical fruits such as peaches and apricots, alongside hints of vanilla, coconut, and lilac. The palate is treated to a symphony of flavors, featuring cooked fruits, citrus, cocoa, and exotic fruits. The initial astringency gives way to harmonious tannins from the fruit and wood, evolving into richer notes of pits, black fruits, and red fruits before softening into a concentrated grenadine. The heart of the rum is notably heavier, revealing a tropical languor and a more profound exotic fruit presence.
The aeration of the rum further enhances its fruity character, shedding some of its tannic qualities and bringing forth fresher notes of apple, pineapple, and green banana. Overall, the Plantation Rum 2007 Australia Vintage Edition is a well-rounded and complex rum, ideal for enthusiasts looking to explore the nuanced flavors of an expertly crafted spirit.
