Introducing the exquisite Plantation 2008 Jamaica XO 10-year-old rum, a remarkable spirit meticulously crafted in the renowned Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries in Jamaica. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2018, this rum showcases the unique character and tradition of Jamaican rum production. This limited-edition Single Cask rum undergoes a unique triple-aging process in Bourbon, Cognac, and Teeling Whiskey casks, achieving a robust and distinctive flavor profile that embodies the quintessential Jamaican style. With an ABV of 52.1%, this rum captivates the senses with a powerful taste experience. The bouquet unfolds with the inviting aromas of bitter orange, banana, prunes, and the warm, spicy notes of nutmeg and ginger. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with flavors of tobacco, mango, and licorice. As you savor each sip, a woody-smoky undertone emerges, leading to an exceptionally long finish accented with cloves and toffee. This true taste sensation is a must-try for any lover of Jamaican rum, but be aware of its very limited availability. Each rum in the Plantation series is crafted using traditional methods reflective of its country of origin, showcasing its full potential impressively. The distillation methods vary according to the plantation and country of origin. Copper pot stills, used for over 700 years, produce soft, aromatic rums, while column stills, invented in the early 19th century, create light, elegant rums. Whether derived from molasses or sugarcane juice, the distillate is aged in oak barrels, often previously used for Bourbon, imbuing the rum with distinctive personality. In the Caribbean climate, these rums mature for several years in old cellars warmed by the tropical sun, allowing their aromas to develop fully and intensely, with about 7% evaporating annually naturally through the oak.
