Plantation Ping X 26 Year Old Trinidad Rum 53% – Exclusive Caroni heavy rum in collector’s class

Plantation Ping X 26 Year Old Trinidad Rum 53% is one of the most spectacular and rare bottlings on the premium rum market. This is genuine Caroni heavy rum – aged for a full 26 years and bottled in an extremely limited edition of just 200 bottles. A collector’s bottle and a taste experience of the highest order.

This 26 year Trinidad rum comes from the legendary Caroni distillery in Trinidad, which closed in 2002. Caroni is now iconic among rum connoisseurs around the world for its uncompromising, heavy and industrial style. Once the stocks run out, there is no more. That makes Plantation Ping X an investment in both taste and history.

The bottling is selected and bottled by Maison Ferrand (Plantation Rum), known for their uncompromising approach to quality and cask selection. With an alcoholic strength of 53%, this Trinidad rum delivers an intense, concentrated yet balanced experience. It’s power, depth and elegance all in one bottle.

A rum with depth, age and character

After 26 years of aging, the cask has left its mark on the rum. Caroni’s classic heavy, oily and industrial style is still evident, but the years in barrel have rounded and refined the expression. The result is a complex rum with layers upon layers of aroma and flavor.

Plantation Ping X is not for beginners – it’s a rum for connoisseurs, collectors and those looking for something truly unique. A heavy rum with nerve, structure and an impressive balance between the raw and the refined.

Tasting notes

Nose: Distinctive industrial notes of tar, smoke, diesel and hot asphalt, slowly evolving towards ripe tropical fruit, vanilla, burnt sugar and dark caramel.
Flavor: Rich, powerful and deep. Classic Caroni notes of oil and smoke are balanced by dark chocolate, roasted spices, oak and light sweetness.
Finish: Very long and warm with lingering notes of leather, cask, exotic spices and a slightly salty, mineral note.

The story behind the Ping series

The Ping series was created in collaboration with Michael Madsen from Juuls & Spirits in Copenhagen as an anniversary selection. The first five Ping bottlings marked his 30th business anniversary and 50th birthday. Ten years later, Ping X was selected to celebrate his 40th anniversary – a worthy continuation of a series that has already achieved cult status among rum enthusiasts.

The Plantation Ping X 26 Year Old Trinidad rum is therefore not just a rare rum – it’s a piece of modern rum history from the last warehouses of the Caroni distillery.
