The Plantation Trinidad 8 Year Old Special Edition Rum is a fine spirit that takes you on a journey to the Caribbean island of Trinidad, where hundreds of distilleries once thrived. Today, only two companies are responsible for producing Trinidad Rum, making this product even more recommendable.
The rum is made from molasses, which undergoes a four-day fermentation process before being continuously distilled in a column still. After this, the rum is aged for seven years in American bourbon barrels in the tropical climate of its homeland. Following the initial aging process, the Plantation Rum Trinidad 8 Year Old Special Edition is transferred to Europe, where it is further aged for twelve months in former cognac barrels from Ferrand. This finishing process gives the rum its unique character, a hallmark of Plantation Rum.
The coppery-reddish gold rum has a bold and charismatic aroma, with a fruity first impression followed by a surprising floral undertone. Citrus fruits and light fruits are complemented by a hint of wood. On the palate, the rum is full-bodied and builds complexity without losing its approachable charm. Fresh fruit notes are accompanied by herbal and earthy undertones, leading to a long-lasting, balanced finish, where chocolate meets spices.
Maison Ferrand, a French company known for its excellent cognac, is behind the production of this rum. They have expanded their portfolio with the addition of the Plantation Rum Trinidad 8 Year Old Special Edition, further enriching their diverse range of offerings.
This rum undergoes a dual aging process - first in American bourbon barrels in Trinidad and then in former cognac barrels from Ferrand in Europe. This finishing process imparts a unique character and complexity to the rum.
