Planteray Rum JAMAICA VRW 2017 Kentucky Bourbon Cask Finish 51.8% vol. 0.7 l is a limited-edition single-cask bottling from Jamaica, which forms part of the Planteray Single Cask Collection 2024. This Jamaican rum is produced from sugar cane molasses at the historic Long Pond Distillery, where the molasses is fermented for a week and then distilled using the traditional pot still method. The designation VRW (Vale Royal Wedderburn) stands for a distinctive Jamaican rum style with a pronounced ester profile. Distilled in 2017, the rum is first matured for six months in tropical conditions in bourbon casks, before spending a further five years and ten months in Ferrand casks in France. The process is rounded off with an eight-month finish in Kentucky bourbon casks. Bottled at 51.8% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle with a gift box, this special edition combines traditional Jamaican rum production with exceptional cask maturation.

The Planteray Rum brand, formerly Plantation Rum, belongs to the French spirits house Maison Ferrand and is headed by Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel. Planteray Jamaica VRW 2017 is characterised by its three-stage maturation process and the distinctive distillate from the Long Pond Distillery. The final Kentucky bourbon cask finish complements the rum’s intense character with additional notes of American oak. With an ester content of 191 g/hl of pure alcohol, a dosage of 0 g of sugar per litre and a total maturation period of seven years, this bottling ranks among the most exceptional rarities in the Planteray Single Cask series. The combination of Jamaican pot-still rum and further ageing in a Kentucky bourbon cask makes it an interesting choice for rum connoisseurs and collectors.
