This vintage pays homage to Romel Perdomo and the family tradition of Travellers, an iconic Belizean winery.
This vintage rum was distilled in 2006 in Belize at Travellers Distillery , using local molasses . After a 3- to 4-day fermentation , it was column-distilled before undergoing a lengthy, two-stage maturation process. It first spent 15 years in ex-bourbon barrels under tropical conditions. The barrels were then transferred to France to continue their maturation for an additional 4 years in Ferrand casks under continental conditions. This double aging process brings the total maturation time to 19 years .
Bottled at 60.4% ABV, this Belize 2006 is part of the limited editions of the Extreme Series VI. The wine boasts particularly precise analytical characteristics, with 144 g/hL AA of esters and 393 g/hL AA of volatile compounds, also known as congeners . These figures represent the concentration of various compounds resulting primarily from fermentation and distillation.
With only 606 bottles announced for this edition, Planteray Belize 2006 is a confidential reference intended for lovers of vintage rums and long-aged cuvées.
