After my brush with the delightful 1991 vintage, I decided that I needed one of these bottles for my own collection. Fat chance of finding a 1991, but I headed down to Old Town Tequila figuring they might be my best chance of finding one locally. Thank goodness they are still allowing walk in customers, albeit with a mask and a max of 4 at a time. After 20 minutes of pulling and checking every bottle of Plantation rum I could find in their exceedingly disorganized shelves, I found this 2003 vintage. I quickly pulled up the Distiller app, checked the reviews, saw Cascodes excellent notes and pulled the trigger.
On to the tasting.
Nose: Rich vanilla, caramel, molasses and some type of dried fruits.
Palate: Perfect sweetness level, rich with caramel, vanilla and molasses.
Finish: Medium length with a tinge of spice, the caramel and vanilla are sustained.
Another delightful Plantation rum.

@ContemplativeFox yeah a visit to Old Town Liquir kind of is a treasure hunt
Wow, and I thought I was lucky finding a bottle at my local Total Wine! Your experience sounds like an archaeological expedition!
