This vintage from the Planteray brand is an exclusive edition for Whisky Live Paris 2024.
This is a “High Esters” molasses rum from Barbados. It comes from the West Indies Rum Distillery located in the parish of St Michael, Brighton Beach. Founded in 1893 by George Stades, WIRD has been owned by Alexandre Gabriel and Maison Ferrand since March 2017.
This rum is the result of a 2-week fermentation followed by a double distillation in a pot still. Installed in 2020, the Hot Pot manufactured by John Dore & Co Ltd is an exact replica of the one that originally existed within the distillery. The long fermentation is at the origin of the volatile substance rate which is 1424 g/hlap.
Aged for 6 months in a bourbon barrel in the tropics, this rum continued its maturation in France. To do this, it was transferred to a cognac barrel from Maison Ferrand for an additional year.
Bottling in 2024 produced just over 300 bottles.
