The Plantation 2009 Beenleigh Australia Palo Cortado Sherry Cask 12yo 45.4% 700ml is a remarkable single cask rum from the 2022 collection, carefully crafted by Plantation Rum. Originating from the revered Beenleigh distillery in Queensland, Australia, this rum has undergone an exceptional aging journey. The process began in 2009 within Queensland's ambient cellars, where it spent 11 years in ex-bourbon casks. In a testament to global craftsmanship, the cask was then transported to Europe, specifically Ferrand in France, where it matured for another year in a Ferrand cognac cask. To complete its unique profile, it received a final 4-month finish in a Palo Cortado Sherry cask.
This rum distinguishes itself with a fruity and harmonious pot still taste, enriched by exotic fruit notes, coconut, and a delightful sweetness. Subtle floral undertones enhance its complexity, along with nuances of citrus fruits, tropical fruits, cocoa, vanilla, and oak that contribute to its long-lasting finish.
The Plantation Rum Single Cask Australia 2009 Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish draws favorable comparisons to the 2007 vintage rum by the same brand. The extensive maturation period under diverse climatic conditions and in various cask types has imparted a magnificent depth to this vintage rum.

Despite its limited availability, it stands confidently alongside classic Caribbean rums. Presented in elegantly designed bottles, this rum is not only a taste sensation but also a desirable collectible.
