This launch is the first ever Plantation rum coming from Australia. Alexandre Gabriel personally selected 21 barrels from the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery, the oldest distillery in all of Australia.

This specially selected rum was made from molasses and underwent its fermentation for 12 days. During fermentation they used very unique yeast, which is part of what makes this Australia 2007 so special. After this the rum was distilled in pot stills.

Then the rum has enjoyed a 13 year tropical maturation in the cellars of the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery. Specifically, aging took place in 200 liter Ex-Bourbon barrels. To stay true to Plantation's tradition of a 'double ageing' process, the rum was then transported to Javrezac in France to be aged for a further 1 year in Continental. This aging in turn took place in 400 liter Ex-Ferrand barrels.

Nose: Stone fruit aromas, such as those of apricots and peaches, combined with hints of fresh vanilla, coconut and raisins. Closing does the nose with floral aromas of irises and lilacs.

Palate: Rich aromas of stewed fruit and cocoa are predominant, subtly complemented by citrus notes.

Finish: A finish of exotic fruit combined with vanilla and elegant woody notes.
