Plantation Rum Trinidad 8 Years Old Special Edition 42% vol. 0.7 l online kaufen

Plantation Rum Trinidad 8 Years Old Special Edition is an eight-year-old rum from Trinidad, which showcases Plantation’s signature blend of tropical and continental cask ageing. The raw material is molasses, which is processed using column distillation. For the Special Editions, Maison Ferrand – the company behind Plantation – carefully selects distillates based on the specific character of their country of origin. This Trinidad rum first spends seven years in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak. During this phase, the tropical climate ensures an intensive exchange between the rum and the cask, thereby shaping a significant part of its character.


Following tropical maturation, the rum is transported to France’s Cognac region, where it undergoes a further year of maturation at Maison Ferrand. In total, the Plantation Trinidad 8 Years Old thus achieves a maturation period of eight years. This principle of two-stage ageing, known as ‘Double Ageing’, is a key feature of numerous Plantation releases and combines different climatic ageing conditions. With an alcohol content of 42 per cent, the Special Edition is bottled in a 0.7-litre bottle. The combination of Trinidad rum, column still distillation, ex-bourbon cask maturation and a continental finish makes this edition particularly appealing to connoisseurs of classic, long-matured molasses rums.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm amber with golden to copper-coloured highlights.

Nose: Fruity and well-balanced, with ripe tropical fruits, vanilla and subtle caramel notes, accompanied by spicy oak.

Palate: Round and full-bodied, with ripe fruit, vanilla and caramelised nuances, complemented by gentle cask spice and toasted wood.

Finish: Long-lasting and harmonious, with warm spice, subtle fruit sweetness and lingering notes of oak.

The Plantation Trinidad 8 Years Old Special Edition is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at around 18–20 °C or over a large ice cube. It pairs well with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, caramelised fruit or desserts featuring vanilla and banana. This eight-year-old rum can also be used in a Rum Old Fashioned, as its fruity and woody notes provide sufficient structure for a spirit-forward cocktail. For rum tastings, it is also worth comparing it with other Plantation Special Editions to contrast the influence of different countries of origin and the double-ageing process.
