The St Lucia 2005 Plantation Grand Terroir rum is a masterful blend of several molasses-based rums distilled in both pot and column stills, resulting in a rich and robust "heavy rum" of English style. Initially aged in the tropical climate of the Caribbean, this rum was later imported to the Charente region of France for further aging, enhancing its aromatic complexity. Crafted by Saint Lucia Distillers and bottled by Plantation, this 700ml rum boasts an ABV of 43% and showcases a remarkable depth of character.
On the nose, the rum is highly expressive and intriguingly complex. It opens with distinct notes of chemicals (solvent) and burnt aromas, but these soon give way to delightful scents of green apple and almond, creating a harmonious balance. The palate reveals a pleasant initial sweetness, with green apple flavors taking center stage, while the more intense empyreumatic and chemical notes recede into the background. The finish is long, with a notable presence of burnt notes, yet the refreshing green apple flavors reappear, leaving a lasting impression on the taste buds.
This Plantation rum is aged in bourbon barrels, imparting infinite sweetness and a refreshing quality. It is a surprising and enjoyable rum, characterized by the persistent and delightful presence of green apple flavors, which make it a standout success from Plantation.
