The Plantation 2009 Belize 10-year-old rum, bottled exclusively for the Netherlands, is a unique expression from the renowned Travellers Distillery in Belize. This single cask rum, distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2019, boasts a delightful 44.1% ABV and is presented in a 700ml bottle. This expression undergoes a meticulous maturation process; it spends 5 years in bourbon casks in tropical conditions, followed by 4.5 years in Ferrand Cognac casks for continental maturation. The finishing touch is an additional 6 months in rare Wild Cherry Wood casks, imparting an intriguing complexity that sets this rum apart from others.
The aromatic profile is delicate but rich, featuring medicinal notes complemented by orange, vanilla, fruitiness, and a hint of dry tobacco. The palate reveals cherry, vanilla, and orange flavors, interwoven with caramel, coconut, and a hint of bitter orange marmalade. The finish is slightly alcoholic with lingering citrus, caramel, peppery spices, cinnamon, and a touch of bitter orange.
While some find the Wild Cherry Wood finish adds a wild and interesting dimension, others are puzzled by its complexity. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing rum to explore.
