Plantation Guatemala XO Moscatel Finish is a captivating rum from Guatemala's Destiladora de Alcoholes y Rones, skillfully selected and bottled by Maison Ferrand under the renowned Plantation brand. Distilled from molasses using a column still, this unique rum has been aged for 1 year and 11 months, offering an ABV of 43.3%. This intriguing rum is noted for its distinctive Moscatel finish, which enhances its complex profile, making it an appealing choice for rum enthusiasts seeking an affordable yet refined experience.
The rum greets you with a grape-forward aroma, complemented by spicy peppery notes, vanilla, coconut, and subtle pear hints. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of sweetness and spice, with flavors of milk chocolate, grapes, demerara sugar, and a touch of molasses. The experience concludes with a lingering spicy warmth, leaving traces of sweet milk chocolate, raisin, marzipan, and a faint whisper of orange peel.
Despite mixed reviews, the Moscatel finish is celebrated for adding a layer of complexity to an otherwise average rum, making it a noteworthy sip for its price point. While some find it too sweet or somewhat one-dimensional, many appreciate its pronounced sweetness and well-integrated flavors.
