The Plantation 2007 Guyana Under the Sea 51% 700ml is an exquisite and limited-edition rum crafted by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2022, this 15-year-old molasses-based rum is a testament to Plantation's commitment to quality and tradition. With an ABV of 51%, it was meticulously fermented for a week and distilled using three historic stills: the Port Mourant double wooden iron still, the French Savalle four-column still, and the Coffey Still wooden column still from Enmore.
After distillation, the rum was aged for 13 years in the tropical climate in 200-liter bourbon barrels, followed by an additional 2 years in a continental climate in 350-liter Ferrand cognac barrels. For the final touch, the rum was further matured in a Cognac cask for 12 months and a Teeling single malt Irish whiskey cask before being bottled. This extensive aging process has imparted a rich and complex flavor profile, making it a standout addition to any collection.
On the nose, the Plantation 2007 Guyana Under the Sea offers a distinctive aroma featuring notes of vanilla, cocoa, citrus, woody tones, and pastries. The palate is a symphony of flavors, including tobacco, nutty nuances, vanilla, and cocoa, alongside a delightful sweetness. The finish is long, pastry-like and full-bodied, with pecan and maple syrup-tinged molasses that linger on the palate.
With a little air and rest, lighter notes fade away, revealing well-rounded spices like vanilla with hints of tonka bean or cinnamon. Velvety exotic fruits also emerge, complemented by a well-roasted woody note. Rum enthusiasts have praised this rum for its intriguing blend of aromas and flavors, describing it as fruity, chocolaty, and an excellent sipper for its price. Its diverse tasting notes and easy-to-drink character make Plantation 2007 Guyana Under the Sea a memorable experience for the palate.
