Plantation Rum

Plantation Rum is a multi-award-winning collection of rums in varying styles and from various parts of the Caribbean, developed by the Cognac producer Maison Ferrand.

After purchasing and rejuvenating the latter in 1989, Alexandre Gabriel travelled in the Caribbean during the following decade seeking out the best rums of the region and forging close relationships with the distilleries. Gabriel and his team used their experience in Cognac to inform their methods of maturing rum. They employ a double aging method that harks back to the Caribbean rums brought back to France by ship in the 17th to 19th centuries; the rums all age in Bourbon barrels in the Caribbean for the first few years, and are then transported to Château de Bonbonnet in the Charentes to finish aging in cooler temperatures in French oak.

The portfolio is divided into four ranges. The Signature Blends are all from Barbados, while the Grand Anejo is a blend of rums from Guatemala and Belize. The Bar Classics are, unsurprisingly, designed for mixing and comprise white, dark and overproof dark rum blends. An extensive collection of vintage bottlings and various limited editions complete the line-up.
