Shipping only EU, UK and Switzerland by Fedex only with insurance included. Special box for bottles. Destilled 1996 49,1 % vol Tropical Ageing : 21,5 years in Bourbon Casks Continental Ageing: 2 years in Ferrand casks Cask: 05 Bottle: 191 Plantation just got their hands on some of the most well-aged stocks of Jamaican pot still rum anywhere. We first got a glimpse of this with this Extreme releases, two different bottlings of 22-year-old Long Pond rum, bottled without additives and at cask strength. For most though, those were out of reach, due both to price and limited availability. This Jamaica 1996 is a blend of those same stocks of ultra old rum that we lusted after when it was released as part of the Extreme series, just slightly reduced to 49.1% abv, and aged two years further for a total of 24 years; 6 months of that in ex-Rye casks from the New York Distilling Company (the initial aging was in traditional ex-bourbon casks, followed by Plantation's signature ex-cognac aging for another 2 years). Also, like the Extreme edition, this is bottled without any added sugar (or "dosage", to borrow a Champagne and Cognac term as Plantation does), a welcome element that we are happily seeing more and more from Plantation, particularly with the older vintage releases. [Please note that as I have several bottles of this same reference, the serial number shown in the pictures may be different from the number on the actual bottle you receive. Naturally, the condition will be identical.]
