Plantation Rum Guyana Ocho Tequila Cask Maturation Single Cask Collection Rum 1998 750 ml
About this bottle
This is a single-cask rum from Plantation's Guyana 1998 vintage, finished in casks that previously held Ocho, a tequila brand — an unusual cask choice that sets it apart from the sherry, port, and bourbon finishes more common in aged rum. Distilled in Guyana in 1998, it carries decades of tropical aging before the tequila-cask finishing period adds its own layer of character. Expect a rich amber-to-mahogany color, with oak, dried fruit, and a subtle savory, agave-adjacent note from the finishing casks. The palate is full and complex, carrying vanilla and caramel from the base rum alongside the finish's distinct edge. A genuinely unusual bottle for rum collectors who've already tried the standard cask finishes.
How to drink Plantation Guyana 1998 Ocho Tequila Cask
Drink this neat, in a proper tasting glass — a single-cask rum with this much age and an unusual finish is meant to be studied, not mixed. A drop of water can help open the aromatics if the proof feels tight.
