The Plantation 2010 Haiti 8yo is a distinguished rum from the 2018 Single Cask Collection by Plantation. This artisanal rum, distilled at the renowned Barbancourt Distillery in Haiti, has spent eight years maturing to perfection. Initially aged for five years in Haiti, it was then transported to France for additional aging, which included finishing in 10 Generations Cognac casks. Each bottle of Plantation rum is crafted using traditional methods native to its country of origin, resulting in a spirit that authentically expresses the unique terroir and heritage of Haiti. The distillation techniques vary between pot stills, which have been in use for over 700 years, producing soft and aromatic rums, and column stills, which were invented in the early 19th century, yielding lighter and more elegant spirits. This particular rum comprises a blend of citrus fruits, herbs, grilled salmon, freshly squeezed cane juice, and spices such as fennel and coriander seeds. The distillate, once produced from molasses or sugarcane juice, is aged in oak barrels, often previously used for bourbon, imparting a distinctive character to the brand. The tropical climate of the Caribbean allows the rum to develop its full and intense flavor profile during years of maturation in warm, sun-kissed cellars, where it evaporates naturally through the oak wood at a rate of about 7% annually. As a result, the Plantation 2010 Haiti 8yo boasts a complex and aromatic profile, featuring floral and herbal aromas, peppery spice, and a rich, lingering finish. It has a smooth palate with flavors reminiscent of jasmine petal flavored green tea and vegetal notes, concluding with a short but delightful finish highlighted by hints of herbs, citrus fruits, and green tea.
The unique combination of aging processes, including five years in Haiti followed by finishing in France's 10 Generations Cognac casks, gives the rum its distinctive flavor profile. Traditional distillation methods and the Caribbean climate also contribute to its rich and complex taste.
The Alcohol by Volume (ABV) of this rum is 40.15%, offering a balanced and approachable strength.
The rum undergoes maturation in oak barrels, initially in Haiti and then in France, allowing it to develop complex flavors and aromas. The tropical Caribbean climate also plays a significant role in enhancing its taste.
The Plantation 2010 Haiti 8yo is a beautifully crafted rum that showcases the rich distillation heritage of Haiti. Its complex blend of tropical fruits, spices, and herbs, combined with a smooth and aromatic profile, makes it a standout addition to any rum connoisseur's collection. The aging process, both in Haiti and France, adds depth and character, resulting in a well-balanced and enjoyable spirit. Fans of aged Clairins will appreciate its smoothness and the unique flavors it offers.
