  Planteray Grande Anejo Guatemala Belize Rum 42%

  Item no.: 222127865377-589

  The rum starts out in Guatemala and Belize, where heat and humidity make casks work fast. Then it boards a ship for south-west France and Maison Ferrand's cellars, where Cognac is usually the guest of honour. Here it gets one more chapter.

  Expert's Description

  Planteray Gran Añejo Guatemala & Belize is a blended Rum from Guatemala and Belize, aged in bourbon casks, finished in Cognac casks in France and bottled at 42%.

  You may know it as Plantation Gran Añejo. Maison Ferrand changed the brand name to Planteray in 2024. This Guatemala and Belize version has been around since 2015 and is the house's Central American Signature Blend.

  It's made from molasses, fermented for four days and distilled in column stills. According to the producer, the Guatemalan part comes from a four-column still and the Belizean part from a two-column one.

  The first ageing takes place in bourbon casks in a tropical climate, where rum matures quickly and picks up vanilla and coconut. It then travels by ship to France and rests further in Ferrand oak casks that have held Cognac, overseen by the house's Master Blender. Planteray calls this double ageing. The cooler climate slows things down and rounds off the edges, and the Cognac casks add plums, dried fruit and a discreet oak.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Round and slightly Sherry-like, with roasted spices in the background. Vanilla, ripe pear and green apple step forward over time, along with a touch of coconut.

  Palate

  Full and well structured. Caramel sauce, baked apples and molasses, with hints of old port and dark dried fruit such as plums.

  Finish

  A distinct finish of Virginia tobacco, liquorice and sweet oak.

  Investment Potential

  High. With only 269 bottles from a single cask, 17 years of maturation and a well-regarded independent bottler, this is one of the rarer single cask releases from RomDeLuxe.

  Did You Know?

  The cask for this rum literally travelled halfway around the world during its maturation: 5 years under Belize's tropical sun, then 12 years in the cooler Danish climate, giving the rum an unusual maturation journey through two vastly different climates.

  Belize Travellers 2006/2022 Valinch & Mallet 16 years old Traditional Rum 70 cl 56.3%

  Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-124

  In Belize City the Perdomo family has been distilling rum since a small bar called Travellers grew into a distillery, and a single cask from there has now been captured by Italian bottler Valinch & Mallet.

  Expert Description

  Belize Travellers 2006/2022 Valinch & Mallet 16 Year Traditional is a Belize Rum from a single cask, aged for 16 years and bottled at 56.3%.

  The rum comes from Travellers Liquors, whose history begins in 1953 when Jaime Omario Perdomo opened a bar of the same name in Belize City. The family later registered the distillery officially in 1983 and upgraded the facility in 1992, moving away from acid-based fast fermentation in favour of natural molasses fermentation followed by double distillation on a triple column setup. This gives Travellers a cleaner, softer style than many other Caribbean molasses rums. The cask was selected by Valinch & Mallet, the Italian independent bottler run by Davide Romano and Fabio Ermoli, and bottled as cask number 3 as part of their Traditional range. The rum was distilled in 2006 and rested for 16 years before being bottled in 2022.

  The result is a soft, sweet-toned rum, where coconut and vanilla meet caramel and dark chocolate, carried by its relatively restrained cask strength of 56.3%.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Coconut, vanilla and a touch of caramel.

  Palate

  Toffee, milk chocolate and mild spice with a creamy body.

  Finish

  Soft and lightly sweet with a final hint of dark chocolate.

  Investment Potential

  Low to Medium. Single cask releases from Valinch & Mallet are limited, but Travellers Liquors remains an active distillery, which keeps rarity at a moderate level compared to closed distilleries.

  Did You Know?

  Travellers Liquors did not start out as a distillery but as a bar in Belize City, where founder Jaime Omario Perdomo experimented with his own rum blends for guests long before the family obtained an official distilling licence.
