With Planteray Haiti 2005, the Planteray distillery unveils a rare edition from the Extreme Series – Legends of Rum, a collection dedicated to casks carefully selected for their character and uniqueness. This bottling from the series pays tribute to Thierry Gardère of Rhum Barbancourt in Haiti.
This vintage rum was distilled in 2005 in Haiti , at the Barbancourt distillery, from pure sugarcane juice . After a fermentation of 2 to 3 days , the rum was column -distilled before embarking on a long maturation process. Its aging spanned a total of 20 years : 19 years in a tropical climate, in ex-bourbon barrels, followed by a year of continental maturation in France in Ferrand casks . This double maturation is a hallmark of Planteray's expertise, which involves transporting some of its rums from their terroir of origin to French cellars to continue their development.
Bottled at 43.8% ABV, it has a concentration of 43 g/hL of pure alcohol in esters and 186 g/hL of pure alcohol in volatile compounds, also known as congeners . These figures demonstrate the richness of compounds resulting from the fermentation, distillation, and maturation of the rum.
This edition is strictly limited to 816 numbered bottles .
