January 6, 2021 (edited January 16, 2021)
This is a 2017 Hi-Time Liquor store pick. Rums from Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica are aged 10 years in Bourbon casks, then 2 years in Cognac casks and finally 1 year in Peaty Arran Scotch casks. Part of Plantation’s Single Cask line. Not sure how that works.
Bottle 266 from cask no. 3
41.7 ABV
Nose - Chocolate cream puff, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, banana, hazelnut, barrel spice, coffee liquor, hints of mango, vanilla and cinnamon.
Palate - Almost silky with balanced sweetness, much more barrel spice than the nose, molasses, chocolate, vanilla, a little coffee and a hint of mango and orange.
Finish - Medium length with the barrel spices lingering until the end.
Good stuff.

@cascode seems like the 2018 release might be the better version. Bonne chance on your search!
This sounds like a killer blend. I see from their site that it has a 10g/litre dosage, which is not too intense, and given that it is Clarenden and Longpond spirit it probably holds that well. I'm hunting a bottle right now ...
