Good to know
Part of Plantation's acclaimed Vintage line, this rum exemplifies the brand's approach: sourcing high-ester Jamaican distillates, aging them fully in the tropics for bold flavor concentration, then shipping to Ferrand's Cognac cellars for a secondary maturation in small French oak barrels. This double-aging process tempers Jamaica's wild esters with elegance.
Tasting notes
- Nose: Pronounced funky esters with overripe banana, pineapple, and tropical fruit backed by vanilla and subtle cognac-like oak.
- Palate: Bold layers of dark fruit, molasses, and spice; the high-ester profile delivers pineapple jam, clove, and a touch of smoke, balanced by creamy cognac finish.
- Finish: Medium-long with lingering esters, toasted oak, and a dry, peppery warmth.
Notable details
- Production: Pot-still distillate, tropical aging in ex-bourbon barrels followed by French oak finishing; non-chill filtered.
- Lineage: From Maison Ferrand's Plantation series, known for elevating Caribbean rums through cognac expertise.
- Comparison: Shares the funky intensity of Long Pond rums but with Plantation's signature polished double-aging.
- Availability: Limited vintage release, sought after by rum enthusiasts.
Closing
A sophisticated showcase of Jamaican rum's wild heart, tamed for contemplative sipping.
