Plantation Australia 12 Year Old 2009

A single cask rum from Plantation - which recently changed its name to ‘Planteray’.

This 2009 single vintage rum was distilled from molasses in column stills at Beenleigh Distillery in Queensland Australia, the oldest operating distillery in the country.

The spirit was initially aged in Bourbon barrels for 11 years in the tropical heat of Queensland, before a further year in Ferrand Cognac casks in France, and an additional finish in Palo Cortado sherry casks. This all adds up to a complex and flavoursome final product.

The spirit itself offers notes notes of sweet citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit), pears, apricots, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, dried fruits, sweet grapes, bananas, cherries, yellow plums, toffee, tobacco leaf, intense oak, pineapple, honey, almonds, oily brazil nuts and more caramelised pear.

Bottled at 45.4% ABV, this rum has a good body and great balance.
