Plantation Rum SEALANDER 40% is guided by the motto ‘Three Origins, Three Oceans, One Rum’ and brings together three very different rum traditions in a single bottling. The blend combines molasse rum from Barbados, produced by the West Indies Rum Distillery; molasse rum from the Fiji Islands, produced by the Rum Co. of Fiji Distillery; and rum made from fresh sugarcane juice from Mauritius, produced by the Saint Aubin Distillery. This brings together the flavours of the Atlantic, the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The individual components are produced in both pot stills and column stills and are initially matured for several years under tropical conditions in ex-bourbon casks. Barbados contributes elegance and structure, Mauritius adds fresher, herbaceous notes, whilst the Fijian component provides additional fruitiness and complexity.

Following the tropical maturation, the rum undergoes the distillery’s characteristic continental secondary maturation in Ferrand casks in France, allowing the three regional styles to blend into a harmonious whole. Part of the blend is further influenced by Umburana wood, which lends Plantation Sealander Rum its unusual spicy nuances reminiscent of tonka beans. With an alcohol content of 40 per cent and a dosage of around 20 g/l, the blend is smooth and approachable, without completely losing its diverse regional characteristics. The 0.7-litre bottle thus combines rum from Barbados, Mauritius and Fiji into a distinctive multi-origin blend that stands out particularly for its fruit, spices, honeyed sweetness and distinctive woody notes.
