Plantation Single Cask Trinidad 1997 21 Year Old 700ml

Plantation Single Cask rums are limited releases of double-aged Haute Couture rums.

All Plantation rums mature in a two-stage ageing process, beginning in the tropics where they age in bourbon casks, and then at the Château de Bonbonnet in France to mature in Ferrand barrels.

Plantation Single Cask rums then benefit from further maturation in carefully selected beer, wine or spirit casks, each selected to enhance the rum's unique characteristics. Every Single Cask rum takes its own ageing path to greatness, and each bottle is personalized and numbered.

Only a few barrels of these unique reserve rums are bottled annually, making them a prize for collectors.
