This rum began its life in Trinidad, where it aged for 10 years in oak barrels before being transported to Jarnac in south-western France. It was then filled into Cognac casks for an additional year of maturation prior to bottling. The resulting rum is rich and full-bodied with notes of cooked fruits, coffee beans, and almond pastries.
The Plantation Trinidad 2009 One-Time is an assemblage of a selection of 24 casks, created by Andrew Hussell (director of the WIRD) and Alexandre Gabriel (Maison Ferrand). Distilled in 2009 from molasses, the rum was first aged for 11 years in Trinidad in the cellars of TDL. It was then sent to Charente, where it was transferred from its bourbon barrels to Cognac barrels of 400 liters for an additional year of aging. The resulting rum is aromatic, with 525 grams of volatile compounds per hectoliter of pure alcohol, including 205 in esters. This bottling has not been sweetened and contains no added sugar.
