La d\u00e9gustation annuelle des Single Casks de Plantation est toujours une exp\u00e9rience enrichissante, qui r\u00e9serve son lot de surprises, souvent tr\u00e8s bonnes. Alexandre Gabriel (propri\u00e9taire de Plantation, Ferrand, Citadel\u2026) ne consid\u00e8re pas ses single casks (une s\u00e9rie de f\u00fbts uniques) comme des rhums en finish (malgr\u00e9 ce qui est indiqu\u00e9 sur l\u2019\u00e9tiquette). La plupart d\u2019entre eux ont en effet connu une v\u00e9ritable maturation d\u2019au moins un an (jusqu\u2019\u00e0 5 ans cette fois-ci).<\/p>\n

\"Plantation\"<\/p>\n

Alexandre Gabriel (owner of Plantation, Ferrand, Citadel…) does not consider his single casks (a series of unique barrels) to be finished rums (despite what is stated on the label). Most of them have in fact matured for at least a year (up to 5 years this time).<\/p>\n

This is even a third ageing, as all the rums were first rested in ex-bourbon casks at their distillation sites (Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, Fiji, Panama, El Salvador, Guyana, Trinidad and Guatemala), then continental ageing in the Plantation cellars in ex-Ferrand cognac casks in Cognac, and this third maturation in casks that have previously been used for a variety of wines and spirits (Rivesaltes, peated or unpeated whisky, port, red wine, cognac, sherry, etc.).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It should be noted that some vintages have been subject to barrel swaps, i.e. the friendly distillery (Arran, for example) has supplied barrels to age Plantation rums, while Plantation has supplied its barrels to Arran to age its whiskies.<\/p>\n
