Portrait: What makes the Planteray Mauritius 2013 One Time Limited Edition special

Mauritius – the very name evokes images of palm trees, turquoise waters, and the urgent desire to escape the daily grind. This is precisely where the story of the Planteray Mauritius 2013 One Time Limited Edition begins, a rum that embodies not just one island, but several chapters of international rum culture. And yes: “One Time Limited Edition” really does mean “just this once” – no binge-watching, no comeback, no encore.
The base is molasses, a classic ingredient in the rum world with a long tradition in Mauritius. It was distilled in a column still and fermented for two days – all done cleanly, precisely, and with the necessary respect for the craft. Then it was a matter of patience. The rum matured for a full nine years in American bourbon barrels right on Mauritius, more precisely in the coastal town of Flic en Flac. Proximity to the sea, a tropical climate, and time – three things that shouldn't be rushed, no matter how impatient you are.
But that's not all. After this long journey in its country of origin, the rum embarked on another chapter: the journey to France to Maison Ferrand. There, it received a two-year finish in Ferrand casks – a classic example of the famous double maturation for which Maison Ferrand is internationally renowned.
Two countries, two climates, two philosophies – united in a limited bottling. Planteray (formerly Plantation) has stood for years for rum with origin, history and artisanal standards. This edition is not a mass-produced product, but a snapshot in time: a vintage, a place, a project.
Whoever owns a bottle of it is not holding an everyday product, but a limited-time chapter in rum history.

In short: This rum has traveled far and wide – and that's precisely why it has arrived.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Planteray Mauritius 2013 One Time Limited Edition tastes like

• Nose: On the nose, complex, fruity aromas of banana, citrus fruits, and passion fruit are revealed. These blend harmoniously with spicy-sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, and coconut, complemented by hints of tobacco and nutmeg, which lend the bouquet additional depth.
• Palate: On the palate, the rum presents itself as equally fruit-forward. Notes of dried fruits and guava are prominent and accompanied by pleasant floral accents. The texture is round and balanced, with a clear structure and fine aromatics.
• Finish: The finish is long and intense. Spicy pepper notes meet dried orange peel and hints of black tea, slowly fading and leaving a lasting impression.
