THE BRAND

Plantation rums are divided into two distinct series: blends and vintages. The vintages in the Plantation range are an invitation to travel. From Jamaica to Barbados to Panama, each rum possesses local flavors characteristic of each country. The blends are blends refined by the cellar master of Maison Ferrand. Alexandre Gabriel, head of the Pierre Ferrand cognac house since 1989, created Plantation, a unique collection of rums he unearths in the Caribbean and Latin America, in 2003. The cane eaux-de-vie he selects benefit from a second maturation in the cellars of his Bonbonnet estate in Ars (Charente), and thus benefit from the talent of Alexandre Gabriel, a master in the art of aging. Since March 2017, Alexandre Gabriel has also been the owner of the West Indies Rum Distillery, based in Barbados, which has the distinction of producing rum continuously since the 19th century and is equipped with both column and pot stills.
