Plantation Rum
The story of Plantation Rum begins of all places in the France region Cognac in the 1990s. It's the owner of Maison Ferrand, Alexandre Grabriel and his passion for the art of distillation and his love for travel that brought him to the Caribbean where he sought out the rums, that would make the cut to become a Plantation rum. Today Plantation rum has an extensive range artisanal rums from only the best terroirs of the Caribbean. Maison Ferrand has a long and special relationship with a variety of Caribbean rum producers. This relationship is based upon the rum producer's need for quality oak casks to age their rum. Based upon this relationship, Maison Ferrand is able to acquire certain old and unique batches of rum from various Caribbean sources, which they bring back to France and finish in their own warehouses and of course their own Cognac Casks. These special rums form the basis for Ferrand Maison's growing line-up of Plantation.
Plantation Original Dark Rum
The essence of Plantation Rum Original Dark is the wealth of its palate and its technique of double aging. Plantation Original Dark comprises the elegant rums of Trinidad which are distilled then aged in their tropical climate in the Caribbean in American oak barrels under high heat before traveling to France. Once in Europe, the House cellar master decides on less "high esters" for the Trinidadian rum and blends in old rums from Jamaica (15 - 20 yrs.) This end result finishes like sweet nectar but also adapts beautifully to classic cocktails made with dark rum such as the Mai Tai or Daiquiri.
