PLANTATION VENEZUELA 2010 52%

Så er tiden kommet til den sidste rom i Plantations populære serie, Under the Sea. Denne gang skal vi til Venezuela, hvor Alexandre Gabriel har opsnust en fantastisk melasse-baseret rom. Den er destilleret i 2010, hvorefter den er lagret 8 tropiske år i ex-bourbonfade i Venezuela. Plantation valgte i alt 22 fade, som så har taget turen over Atlanten for at lagre videre i fade af fransk eg i Ferrands egne kældre. Rommen er tappet ved 52% og der er hverken tilsat farvestof eller sukker.

På etiketten ses en Plettet Ørnerokke – et af Venezuelas symboler.

Farve: Dyb gylden.
Duft: Duften er både delikat og fyldig, med noter af muskatnød, honning, mandarin, kokos og nødder.
Smagsnoter: På tungen er rommen tør og krydret, og viser både orangenoter, peber, nellike, tørret banan og ristede mandler.

Serveringsforslag: Bør nydes rent.

Distilled in 2010, Plantation Venezuela was first aged for 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels in the cellars of Destilería Sofa. The 22 barrels selected by Alexandre Gabriel then made the sea voyage to Javrezac, in the Charente region of France, where the rum was aged for an additional 4 years in Ferrand French oak casks. In the Plantation signature style, this double ageing technique highlights the deeply expressive and complex appeal of this 12-year-old Venezuelan rum.

Its assertive personality perfectly reflects the richness of the Venezuelan terroir and the savoir-faire of the experts at Destilería Sofa.
