Plantation Rum Single Cask 12 years Panama Rum 45,8% – Danish Selection Batch 1 (2018)

Plantation Rum Single Cask – Danish Selection Batch 1 is an exclusive 12 year aged rum from Panama, created for the Danish market and bottled in 2018. This unique single cask rum combines tropical warmth, French elegance and Nordic edge in one bottle. A rum for connoisseurs looking for complexity, depth and a touch of something special.

Distilled in 2006 at Alcoholes Del Istmo S.A. in Panama, the rum has undergone Plantation Rum’s iconic double maturation. First, 10 years of tropical aging in bourbon barrels in Panama, where the heat intensifies maturation and creates richness and sweetness. Then 1 year of continental aging in Ferrand barrels in France, which adds structure and finesse. As the icing on the cake, the rum is aged for a further 1 year in a Stauning whisky cask – an extra dimension that adds character and a subtle hint of smoke.

With a dosage of 8 g/L and bottled at 45.8%, this Panama rum is both balanced and powerful. The combination of a classic Latin American rum profile and a Nordic whisky cask creates a distinctive and original taste experience that stands out from the crowd.

Tasting notes

Nose: Very original and full of character. Peaty malt notes merge with dark chocolate, freshly ground pepper and roasted hazelnuts. An exciting and different aroma profile for a Panama rum.

Taste: Delicate, but with a distinct spicy profile. Cloves and cinnamon dominate at the start, after which fresh citrus notes unfold and give life and balance. The combination of rum and whisky cask creates depth and complexity.

Finish: Very long and persistent. Peat smoke fuses with orange peel and cinnamon dough for a warm, spicy and slightly smoky finish.

The story behind Plantation Rum

Plantation Rum is part of Maison Ferrand in Cognac and is known for its distinctive double maturation, where rum matures both tropically in its country of origin and continentally in France. Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel has built close relationships with distilleries around the world over decades and personally selects casks for the exclusive Single Cask releases. The Danish Selection series is an example of this philosophy – carefully selected casks, unique finishes and bottled with respect for both terroir and craftsmanship.
