Clarendon 1984 36 years old Plantation - Extrême No. 4 - MMW - b. 2020 - 70cl

Clarendon 36 Year Old was distilled in 1984 using the distillery’s pot stills and bottled in 2020 by Plantation as part of its Extrême range. It was bottled without added sugar, unlike some of Plantation’s earlier releases. The rum spent 35 years in bourbon casks in a tropical climate, followed by one year in a cognac cask in France.

It bears the MMW (Monymusk Wedderburn) marque, corresponding to an ester level of between 290 and 300 g per hectolitre of pure alcohol.

Plantation was launched in 2003 by cognac house Pierre Ferrand, itself founded in 1989. The company sources casks from various distilleries and brokers. It also owns the West Indies Rum Distillery (WIRD) in Barbados and holds a stake in National Rums of Jamaica, giving it privileged access to rums from Long Pond and Clarendon. Plantation thus operates as both an independent bottler and a producer.

Limited to 370 bottles for La Maison du Whisky.
