Plantation 2004 Belize Port Finish

Most rums with port finish are good but this one is even better than that

Cask no. 7/19. Bottle no. 339/450. 41 %.

Dejlig blød og let drikkelig rom. Lidt til den søde side.

Très bonne bouteille on la déguster en début de semaine 2 verres
ensuite le week-end on la sifflet

Plantation Old Reserve Belize 2004, Cask & Cooper of Washington, cask no 18/19, bottle 355/450. 41% ABV. Unlike today's Plantations, there are no notes on aging regimen (how old is this thing, anyway?), aside from "finished in Porto cask."

Lovely nose. The port finish is evident, and reminiscent of Foursquare's famous Port Cask Finish. Port, brandy, caramel, oak, sugar. Surprisingly woody on the palate. Definitely the woodiest Plantation I've ever had. Fairly astringent as well. But that Plantation profile and Port finish help to round out out very nicely, perhaps not unlike a sherried whisky (I wouldn't really know). I quite like it.

Dryer than other Plantations I’ve tried and that’s a good thing. Pleasant sweetness after slight peppery warmth that lingers.

Very nice smell, even of port.
Nice taste.
Ok aftertaste.
👌🏻single cask.

Picked this up as a close out. No idea why this would not sell. Nice smooth sipper.

Tasted just once, gives a little different flavor to a generally great Plantation rum.

Enjoyable sipping rum. Not as smooth as some I have tried but a wonderful flavor.
