The Plantation Rum TRINIDAD 2008 Chardonnay Maturation Edition 2021 is a limited-edition single-cask rum from Trinidad, with an alcohol content of 49.6 per cent, presented in a 0.7-litre bottle complete with a gift box. The rum was distilled in 2008 by Trinidad Distillers Limited from molasses using the column still method. Its exceptional maturation spanned three different types of cask and two climate zones. Initially, the Trinidad rum was aged for eleven years in a tropical climate in an ex-bourbon cask made of American white oak. It was then transported to Europe, where it underwent a further year of ageing in a cognac cask – a process characteristic of Plantation Rum.


The Plantation Trinidad 2008 was given its final touch by a further one-year finish in a Chardonnay white wine cask from Chablis. As a result, this vintage rum was shaped by ex-bourbon, cognac and Chardonnay casks. It is precisely this unusual Chardonnay cask finish that forms the key distinguishing feature of the Maturation Edition 2021, complementing the powerful Trinidad style with fruity and floral notes. As a single-cask bottling, this edition differs significantly from the brand’s regular blends and is aimed particularly at collectors and enthusiasts of experimental cask maturations. The high ABV of 49.6 % Vol. further emphasises the intense and complex character of this limited-edition rum.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm amber with golden highlights.

Nose: Fruity and complex with quince, bergamot and green apple, accompanied by acacia honey and delicate floral notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and powerful with increasing fruitiness, green apples, citrus fruits and floral notes, as well as a subtle hint of lemon verbena.

Finish: Long-lasting and well-balanced, with harmoniously integrated fruit and floral notes.

Due to its special barrel ageing, the Plantation Trinidad 2008 Chardonnay Maturation Edition 2021 is best enjoyed neat at room temperature, with a few drops of still water if desired. In terms of food pairing, roast poultry, duck breast or medium-strength cheeses complement its fruity, floral profile well. For a sweet accompaniment, apple tart, lemon-based desserts, desserts with honey or light chocolate are recommended. This limited single-cask bottling is particularly interesting for rum tastings and comparative tastings of different cask finishes, where the influence of the Chardonnay cask can be specifically assessed.
