Plantation Rum AUSTRALIA Single Cask Sherry Palo Cortado Finish 2009 45.3% vol. 0.7l in a gift box online kaufen

The Plantation Rum Australia Single Cask 2009 Sherry Palo Cortado Finish is an exceptional single-cask edition from the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery in Australia, which undergoes an elaborate, multi-stage maturation process. It is made from molasses, which is first fermented for twelve days with Schizosaccharomyces pombe and then for three days with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Following pot-still distillation in 2009, the rum was initially matured for eleven years in a tropical climate in bourbon casks. It was then taken to France for continental maturation, where it was stored for a further year in Ferrand casks. The final touch is provided by a four-month finish in a Palo Cortado sherry cask, which lends the Australian rum additional oxidative, vinous and nutty notes.


This Plantation Single Cask bottling is also remarkable for its unadulterated composition. The rum has a dosage of 0 g/l and contains absolutely no caramel colouring E150a. With 277 g/hl AA of volatile compounds and 110 g/hl AA of esters, the bottling also showcases the distinctive character of the Australian pot-still distillate. Bottled at 45.3% ABV, the Plantation Australia 2009 combines its long tropical bourbon cask maturation with Ferrand casks and the rare Palo Cortado sherry cask finish. The 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box, is aimed particularly at connoisseurs of limited-edition single-cask rums and complex cask maturations.
