Planteray Rum 2016 Jamaica Hot Sauce is a Jamaican molasses rum.
This single cask was pot still distilled in 2016 at Hampden , then aged for 7 years in ex-bourbon barrels in a tropical climate. This was followed by a continental maturation of 2 months in ex-Cognac Ferrand casks, then 1 year and 5 months in casks that previously held chili sauce .
The molasses used underwent a long fermentation of 1 to 2 weeks. Combined with pot still distillation, this type of fermentation yields an ester content of 338 g/hL AA and 527 g/hL AA of volatile compounds. These high levels guarantee a pronounced aromatic profile.
