Brand: Plantation Rum | Category: Vintage Jamaican Rum | ABV: 45.2% | Origin: Jamaica | Vol: 700ml

Intro/Heritage:
Big, funky, and impossibly expressive, Plantation Jamaica 2005 is a Grand Terroir release that showcases Jamaica’s signature high-ester style in all its aged glory. Distilled in pot stills and tropical-aged before being refined in Ferrand Cognac casks, this bottling is a full-bodied tribute to Jamaican power, French finesse, and the art of long maturation.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Explosive and complex. Overripe banana, pineapple, acetone funk, and black tea leap from the glass, followed by hints of leather, clove, and burnt sugar. Wild yet precise.
Palate: Rich and layered. Molasses, baked plantain, cocoa nibs, and allspice evolve into dried mango, tobacco leaf, and oak resin. Intense, structured, and deeply rewarding.
Finish: Long and tropical. A finish of warming spice, dried fruit, and ester-heavy funk lingers with a bold, dry edge.

Production Details:
Distilled in 2005 at Clarendon Distillery using 100% pot stills. Aged for 13 years in Jamaica in bourbon casks, then finished for 1–2 years in Ferrand Cognac casks in France. Bottled at 45.2% ABV to capture its full aromatic range and textured power.

Perfect For:
Funk chasers, ester-heads, and collectors of rum that doesn’t hold back. Perfect for sipping neat, comparing across vintages, or diving deep into the soul of Jamaica.

Interesting Fact:
Jamaican rums are known for their “hogo”, a term that describes their funky, ester-rich profile. Plantation Jamaica 2005 is a masterclass in that tradition, made even more refined by its long double maturation.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass to appreciate its full aromatic range. For adventurous pairings, try it with grilled pineapple, spiced jerk pork, or blue cheese. Not for the faint of palate.
