Plantation 2007 Panama Champagne Finish 13-Year

Somehow neutral on nose, with a bit of alcohol_pleasure touch of something fruity, natural, new.

Deliciously sweet just into the target! Smooth and smooth, but not oily. Random citrus muscat nut notes perform symphony for a ...

Well... just for while. The aftertaste feels relatively shot, that requires to renew the glass )

Thanks Plantation!

At The Rum House in NYC. Nice rum list. Actually has a champagne nose. This is smooth. It has great balance. The flavor profile does not work for me though. I love the idea of a champagne finish. I love rum. I love champagne. But they don’t work together for me.

Keep working Plantation! This is the kind of thinking that produces greatness. Just not every time.

Interesting rum. A wide range of fragrances and flavors. From fresh tobacco leaves, through cognac, to dark chocolate with raisins.

Deset let v sudech po bourbonu, dva roky ve Francii v sudu po koňaku Ferrand a následně ještě rok v sudu po šampaňském.

Shrnutí: Decový vzorek stačil na několik ochutnávek. Pohodový kousek.

Rum tasting during 14th month of global lockdown continues onwards with Plantation Panama 2007 Champagne Maturation. Traditionally nice and high end packaging, bottle and label design. Light golden color. Nose is very fruity and plenty of grapes. Palate is like drinking 92 Proof Champagne. Rum flavors have all but disappeared. Not bad, unique for sure, but not my new favorite.

It is not that often you see rum matured in Champagne cask. This one is with
Tropical ageing 10 years in bourbon cask
Continental ageing 2 years in Ferrand cask and furthermore finished 1 year in Champagne cask. Nose is Apricot, vanille, caramel, grape and wine with muscat tones.

Palate, sweet, you can actually feel and taste boble Champagne together with vanille and lemon pepper. It feels like even though it’s with abv 46 it feels light and a bit easy sipper for my taste, but not bad at all.
