Description


This is an exceptional example from Plantation Rum's prestigious Single Cask Collection, featuring a rare Trinidad distillate from 1997. The rum has been aged for approximately 22 years, developing complex character through extended maturation in carefully selected casks.




Plantation Single Cask rums are limited releases of double-aged House Couture rums. All Plantation rums mature in a two-stage ageing process, beginning in the tropics where they age in Bourbon casks, then finishing in Ferrand barrels in the cellars of Cognac, France. Each cask is individually numbered and personalised, with only a few barrels bottled annually, making them highly sought by collectors and rum enthusiasts.




Condition


Bottle Condition: Excellent. The bottle displays the characteristic Plantation presentation with decorative rope binding around the neck. Label is intact and legible, showing clear identification of the Trinidad 1997 vintage and bottling details. Liquid level appears consistent with age and storage. No visible leakage or seepage.




Original Packaging: Includes original black and gold presentation box with detailed information regarding the Single Cask Collection and ageing process printed on the exterior.




What is Included


• Original bottle with cork closure and wax seal

• Original presentation box

• Decorative rope binding intact



Collector Information


Plantation Rum Single Cask releases from the 1990s vintage period are increasingly difficult to source, particularly Trinidad distillates. The 1997 vintage represents a significant year for rum production and has developed considerable depth through its extended maturation. This bottling exemplifies Plantation's commitment to small-batch, artisanal rum production and represents a premium addition to any serious rum collection.




The rum takes its own ageing path to prestige, with each cask selected for its unique characteristics. The two-stage maturation process—tropical ageing followed by French cellar finishing—creates a distinctive profile that distinguishes Plantation Single Cask expressions from standard releases.
