Distilled in 2010, Plantation Venezuela was first aged for 8 years in former bourbon barrels in the cellars of Destilería Sofa. The 22 barrels selected by Alexandre Gabriel then made the sea journey to Javrezac in the Charente region of France, where the rum was aged for a further 4 years in Ferrand’s French oak casks. In the signature Plantation style, this double aging technique highlights the deeply expressive and complex appeal of this 12-year-old Venezuelan rum.
Its assertive personality perfectly reflects the richness of the Venezuelan terroir and the savoir-faire of the experts at Destilería Sofa.
