Plantation Single Cask 9 years Barbados Rum 47,9% – Eriksen Vinhandel 14th Edition

Plantation Single Cask 9 Year Old Barbados Rum 47.9% – Eriksen Vinhandel 14th Edition is an exclusive and hand-picked single cask bottling created for the discerning rum lover. Carefully selected as our 14th Edition Single Cask, this special edition represents the essence of mature Barbados rum with depth, elegance and complex cask character.

Distilled in 2014 at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados on both pot still and column still, it offers a perfect balance of richness and finesse. It is made from molasses and has undergone an impressive three-part aging journey: 6 years tropical aging in bourbon barrels, 2 years continental aging in France in Ferrand casks and a final 1-year finish in Rivesaltes wine casks. The result is a rum with layers upon layers of aroma, structure and character.

Plantation is known for their double maturation method, where the rum is first matured in the Caribbean and then shipped to France for further maturation. The Single Cask versions are also given an additional finish in specially selected wine, beer or spirit barrels to highlight the unique profile of the rum. Each bottle is numbered and only a few casks are bottled each year – making this 14th Edition a true collector’s item.
