The Plantation 2008 Panama is a 13-year-old rum from the esteemed Plantation Rum's Under The Sea collection. Distilled in Panama and matured in ex-bourbon barrels for 12 years in a tropical climate, the journey of this rum doesn’t end there. It was transported to France for an additional year of aging in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks, before being bottled in 2021. This limited edition rum is celebrated for its delightful aromas of woody notes, vanilla, caramel, apple, and red fruits.
Distilled at the Alcoholes Del Istmo distillery in Panama, this molasses-based rum uses a carefully worked column still, resulting in a harmonious and rich flavor profile. After nine years in American oak barrels, dubbed "First Select Barrels" by the house, the rum develops a balanced flavor with vanilla, woody notes, apple, and caramelized sweetness. The final product, with an ABV of 45.7%, is bottled by the independent bottler Maison Ferrand.
The rum stands out with its complex aromas of peaches, red berries, orange peel, nutmeg, white pepper, lemongrass, and custard. These are complemented by palate notes of honeycomb, red apple, hazelnuts, toffee, chocolate, and cigar box, culminating in an experience where the round and gently spiced character of the oak barrels is revealed, with vanilla and coconut notes enhanced by caramelized nuts.
This unique and limited edition rum is perfect for those who appreciate a slowly sipped, satisfying rum experience. It boasts a complex and solid character, making it a must-have for rum enthusiasts.
