Plantation Australia 14 Years is the first time for Plantation that they have received a rum from Australia. After 13 years of aging in Australia, another year of finish followed in other barrels in France. The great aromatic complexity of Plantation Australia 2007, distilled in pot stills, owes its personality to the specific yeasts used during fermentation. Aged for 13 years in ex-bourbon casks in the cellars of Beenleigh Artisan Distillery, the 21 casks were selected by Alexandre Gabriel, then made the sea voyage to Javrezac, in the Charente region of France, where the rum matured for another year in Ferrand French oak barrels. His assertive personality perfectly reflects the richness of the Australian terroir and the savoir-faire of the creators of Beenleigh Artisan Distillery. Aromas of stone fruits, such as those of apricots and peaches, combined with notes of fresh vanilla, coconut and raisins. The nose closes with floral aromas of irises and lilac trees. Rich aromas of stewed fruit and cocoa are predominant, subtly completed by citrus notes.
The 2020 Vintages Collection
In honor of their exceptional character, the bottles of the Plantation «terroir» rum collection are now decorated with special labels worthy of the uniqueness of each vintage and each country of origin. For the 2020 editions, local birds brighten the labels with their colorful feathers. These exotic images, evoking the iconic illustrations of the Comte de Buffon, are a real treat for the eye.
Plantation’s “Four-Hands” program
The “Four-Hands” program exemplifies the philosophy at the heart of the brand: the essential preservation of rum cultures and their traditions. Our vintage rums are the fruit of inspired collaboration between Alexandre and passionate distillers, who work together to select and blend the barrels that will form an ideal unison. Like pianists, they share a keyboard to perform a duet. The goal: To bring out a product’s finest elements and create perfect harmony.
