Plantation Rum’s previous vintage collection, entitled “Birds of Paradise” featured vibrant illustrations of colorful birds emblematic of their far-flung terroirs. With the “Under the Sea” collection, Plantation Rum spotlights the underwater fauna and flora of six different rum-producing countries. Each bottling is distinguished by the iconic colors and local species of its region, inviting fans to plunge into a new world of rum. The voyage begins with the sublime Panama 2008, featuring a humpback whale on the label. It’s no surprise that the majestic mammal exemplifies this terroir; Panama is one of the few countries in the world whose waters teem with cetaceans from both the northern and southern hemispheres. Once again, Plantation Rum invites us on a voyage across the oceans, an unforgettable gustatory and visual journey that will delight lovers of bottles as beautiful as their contents are delicious. Nose: Fruity and spicy aromas of peach, red berries, orange peel and nutmeg. Evolving to white pepper, custard, lemongrass and pear skin.
