PLANTERAY RUM 2003 Trinidad

The final release in the iconic Planteray Terravera collection, Trinidad 2003 marks the culmination of a remarkable journey through the world’s finest terroirs. This vintage is the oldest ever presented in the series, following the celebrated vintages of Fiji Islands 2004, Panama 2010, Barbados 2007, Belize 2008, and Mauritius 2013. Crafted at Trinidad Distillers Limited, this molasses-based rum was column-distilled in 2003, aged 19 years in bourbon casks in Port of Spain under tropical conditions, and refined for an additional 3 years in Ferrand casks in France. Bottled at 47.8% ABV, it boasts 196 g/hL AA volatile compounds and 710 g/hL AA esters. On the nose, it captivates with fruity, funky, and spicy notes of peach, guava, figs, peppercorn, beeswax, vanilla, and brine. The palate delivers a rich, oily medley of soursop, caramelized oak, spices, coconut, and dates, while the finish is long and complex, unveiling layers of cooked pear, lime, cocoa, tobacco, and spice. A tribute to time, expertise, and terroir, Planteray Trinidad 2003 embodies the heart of the Terravera collection and stands as a collector’s masterpiece, inviting connoisseurs to savor history in every drop.
