TDL Fernandes 17 Year Old That Boutique-y Rum Company (50cl, 66%)
A superb 17-year-old multi-column still rum from Trinidad Distillers Limited. Nowadays, rum in Trinidad is produced by one large-scale producer, but that wasn’t always the case. The story goes that the Fernandes brand was responsible for creating one of the most iconic bottlings of days gone by, from casks salvaged from a fire-damaged warehouse. Once the initial bottles ran out, the challenge of making more arose, so a number of different blending marques were used to recreate the correct profile. This right here is one of those blending marques, it’s a heavy-column rum that would likely have only been used in small amounts in the original blend, but here’s the opportunity to try it untouched, in all its long-aged glory, thanks to That Boutique-y Rum Company.
Batch 2 is a release of 330 bottles.

Plantation Haiti XO (70cl, 41%)
As with all Plantation rums, this has the usual distinctive netting wrapped around the bottles – this is great from a branding/marketing point of view. I do like that Plantation have included some information about the rum’s ageing process, although there is no info about how the rum was actually created i.e. type of still used. There are some tasting notes, although stating that the nose is “complex, earthy, rum of pure cane juice proudly showing characteristics from ancient noble farms” is not particularly insightful nor useful. The additives are not directly referenced either.

Plantation Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel has made it his life’s mission to explore the terroirs of rum, from its birthplace in the Caribbean to the furthest reaches of the South Pacific. Aided by Rum Co. of Fiji’s Master Distiller, Liam Costello, Alexandre meticulously selected just 18 casks of a 2004 vintage column still rum filtered through coconut carbon. Aged in the tropics for 17 years before journeying across two oceans, this formidable Viti rum’s journey ends in the southwest of France, with four-years of maturation in Ferrand Cognac casks.
Alexandre’s choice bursts with power, structure and just a hint of smoke. Intense coffee, vanilla and fudge notes intertwine on the nose, followed by fruity and spicy tones, brightened by citrus peel and deepened by tobacco. The extra-long finish lingers with cherry, cloves and cocoa.
