Plantation 2009 Trinidad Single Cask 8yo 42.4% 700ml is a luxurious and complex rum hailing from the renowned Trinidad Distillers Limited (TDL) in Trinidad and Tobago. This exquisite rum, bottled in 2016 after being aged for 8 years, showcases the rich and diverse heritage of Caribbean rum-making. Meticulously crafted using traditional methods, this rum is triple-aged in Bourbon, Cognac, and Pineau des Charentes casks, imparting an extraordinary depth of flavor. Its golden hue is a testament to its refined aging process. Upon pouring, the delightful aromas of pineapple, citrus, and quince, intertwined with subtle hints of Bourbon and acacia honey, immediately captivate the senses. On the palate, this rum delivers a symphony of flavors, including mango, peach, and roasted almonds, complemented by a lingering finish of maize, straw, and hazelnuts. This elegant yet youthful expression from Plantation is well-balanced, with a fruity profile that harmonizes beautifully with its spicy undertones and proof, making it an exceptional value for its price.
This rum is unique due to its triple-aging process in Bourbon, Cognac, and Pineau des Charentes casks, which imparts a rich, complex flavor profile that sets it apart from other rums.
Plantation 2009 Trinidad Single Cask rum is produced using column stills, which create a lighter and more elegant rum.
While some may find it on the sweeter side, it offers a well-balanced profile with a blend of fruity and spicy notes that may appeal to a broad range of palates.
This bottle was part of a larger Plantation shipment I received, and it was a delightful surprise. From the nose to the palate, this rum is fruity and well-balanced with spices and proof. It has an elegant yet youthful character, making it a standout among Plantation rums. Given its price tag, it's an excellent value and worth enjoying more than once.
