Plantation Rhum - Barge 166 - Private Cask - Jamaica 2012 100% Pot Still

This Jamaican rum was first aged for 5 years in Bourbon barrels on-site, then for an additional 5 years in 400-liter barrels in Cognac, and finally transferred to the banks of the Seine River for a 6-month finishing period in these small 30-liter barrels.

Elaboration:

Made from selected juice; year 2012; distilled at Clarendon Distillery, 100% Pot Still and aged in different climates: 5 years in bourbon casks in a tropical climate, 5 years in cognac casks in a continental climate and a final 6-month maturation in small 30-liter casks on a barge (dynamic aging on the water).

Only 55 bottles produced.

'Barge 166' is the first barge dedicated to the aging of rums and cognacs. Located in Issy-les-Moulineaux, on the outskirts of Paris, it was completely renovated and redesigned by Maison Ferrand between 2020 and 2021. The barrels benefit from unique aging conditions: a high humidity level, a wide temperature range, dynamic aging using a hydraulic system, and the use of small 30-liter French oak barrels.
