An exceptionally tasty Guatemalan rum from the Plantation folks, this XO expression spent its first few tropical years ageing in bourbon casks, before in classic Plantation style it was moved to Ferrand casks to mature for a year in France. Before bottling, it spent a final six months in Amburana casks, a type of wood found in the forests of Latin America. Eventually, it was bottled at 50% ABV, choc full of tropical fruit.

Here we have the third instalment in Planation’s 2018 Single Cask Collection, Panama 12 Year Old. It’s seen three separate periods of ageing, first off with nine and a half years in bourbon casks in Panama before the usual Plantation one year in Ferrand casks in France. Finally, the rum spent another one and a half years in a cask which previously held Arran single malt, before it was bottled at 46.2% ABV.

A particularly pleasing bottling of Peruvian rum from Plantation! This one was distilled in 2006 and aged in tropical climate for 11 years before it was transferred to France for a further two years of ageing in Ferrand casks. Eventually, it was bottled at 43.1% ABV, complete with the classic Plantation twine-wrapped bottle.

This limited edition rum began life in Trinidad, where it remained in oak for 10 years before making the long voyage to Jarnac in south-western France. It was then filled into Cognac casks for a final year of maturation prior to bottling. The resulting rum is rich and full-bodied with plenty of cooked fruits, coffee beans and almond pastries.
