The Plantation Rum 2011 Demerara Guyana 12yo 48.8% is a unique product from the esteemed French company, Maison Ferrand, renowned for their expertise in aging Caribbean and other world rums in their exquisite Cognac casks. This expression goes a step further by finishing the rum in peated whisky casks, resulting in a high-quality and characterful Demerara rum from Guyana. Distilled in 2011 by Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) using a traditional pot still from rich molasses, this rum boasts a remarkable journey. First, it spent two years maturing in American bourbon barrels, absorbing the tropical climate's influence. It was then transferred to France for an additional nine years of aging in Cognac casks. For the final touch, the rum was finished for a year in oak casks that previously held a peated whisky blend from the Islay islands. The result is a golden rum with an intense and maritime aroma, reminiscent of Islay Scotch whisky, featuring notes of saltwater, peat smoke, and spices such as cinnamon and pepper, beautifully complemented by hints of hazelnut and berry. The full-bodied, smoky taste is expertly balanced by the sweetness of molasses, making it best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its unique character. This limited single cask release stands out as a class of its own, comparable to the innovative whisky experiments from Scotland, but with a fascinating twist of Scottish whisky casks being used for rum aging.
