Plantation Vintage Collection N°3 Terravera Barbados 2007 Rum 48.7%

Plantation Vintage Collection N°3 Terravera Barbados 2007 is an exclusive rum from the Plantation range, created for enthusiasts seeking depth, complexity and authentic rum craftsmanship. This one-time limited edition represents the best of Barbados and showcases the distinctive style of the West Indies Rum Distillery, where traditional rum production meets Plantation’s famous double maturation method.

Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2023, an impressive maturation period during which the rum has developed a rich and nuanced character. Made on molasses and fermented for three days, the distillate achieves a beautiful aromatic structure even before distillation. Distillation takes place in both pot still and column still, providing a perfect balance of richness, fruit and elegance.

As with many Plantation rums, the barrel journey is crucial to the flavor profile. First, the rum matures in the tropical climate of Barbados, where the heat provides intense barrel influence and depth. It is then transported to France where it is further aged in cellars at Maison Ferrand in Javrezac. Here the rum develops further complexity and finesse through years of controlled aging.

With an ester profile of 40g/hl AA, the rum gains aromatic depth with fruity, spicy and slightly funky nuances. The low dosage of 2 g/l also ensures that the natural character of the rum stands out clearly in the glass.

The story of Plantation Rum

Plantation Rum is created by Maison Ferrand in France and is known for their special double ageing method. The rum is first matured in the tropical climate of the Caribbean and then transported to France where it is aged in former cognac barrels in Ferrand’s historic cellars.

The Vintage Collection series is among Plantation’s most coveted releases. Each bottling comes from a specific distillery and vintage, allowing rum lovers to experience the different styles and terroirs of the Caribbean. These releases are often produced in limited numbers and are therefore popular with collectors and enthusiasts alike.
