The Plantation XO Belize Single Cask #4 is a 9-year-old rum, bottled in 2017 with an ABV of 49.4%. This exquisite rum hails from Belize, a region known for its rich, molasses-based rums. The distinctive production process involves aging in bourbon casks, followed by a refined finish in Pierre Ferrand cognac casks and Grapia wood, imparting a unique character to the spirit. Offering a balanced profile, this rum combines the sweetness of Demerara sugar and honey with a spicy warmth that lingers on the palate. While its muted sweetness and Spanish style make it a bit different from a classic Belize rum, it remains a noteworthy addition to any rum connoisseur’s collection.
