Plantation 2004 Peru

Peruvian rum, bottled as part of the rather brilliant Plantation range. This one comes from Destilerias Unidas S.A. de Peru and was distilled in 2004. It was initially matured for 12 years before being moved to France for a finishing period of two years in bourbon and Slovenian oak casks. Intriguing and spicy stuff.

Distilled in 2004 (100% column), aged in Peru for 12 years in Bourbon and Solvenian oak casks, then aged for an additional 2 years in France before being bottled in 2018 at 43.5% ABV.

My first Peruvian rum. Smells like an easy-going, well-aged, slightly sweet rum. Great tannins on the palate and finish. Nothing really stands out, but it's super tasty. A very easy sipper. A tad sweet, but no complaints. Medium finish.
