Plantation 2007 St. Lucia Extreme No.4 13yo 58.9% 700ml is a unique rum that stands out among others from Saint Lucia. This exquisite spirit was distilled in 2007 at the renowned Saint Lucia Distillers using a Coffey Still. It first matured for 11 years in ex-bourbon barrels in Saint Lucia, followed by an additional two years of aging in Ferrand French oak casks in France. This meticulous aging process yields a limited release of only 544 bottles, each offering a remarkable ABV of 58.9%. The aroma of Plantation Extreme No.4 is an enchanting blend of oak spice, apples, pineapple, and white pepper, with additional nuances of vanilla, caramel, and solvent. On the palate, it is intense and tropical, featuring notes of papaya, orange, leather, red berries, pine needles, and black pepper. The finish is complex and multifaceted, leaving lingering hints of smoky chocolate, tropical fruit, fruity acidity, charred notes, bitter undertones, and sweet vanilla. Reviewers have praised this rum for its interesting and surprising nature, likening it to Caroni profiles, while also noting its fruitiness, spices, and heavy aroma. Some find it rather sweet and emphasize the need to let it breathe to fully appreciate its intricate flavors. Although it may not surpass other Saint Lucia offerings in terms of power and distinct notes, it remains an atypical and well-balanced rum with luxurious and intense taste.
