The history of Plantation Rum
The history of Plantation Rum is closely linked to the French cognac producer Pierre Ferrand. The Ferrand cognac house has been producing high-quality, traditionally produced cognac since 1776 and has also built up a good reputation across the region. Pierre Ferrand has been particularly popular in the cocktail scene in recent years, as the company has given the industry new impetus with products such as the Pierre Ferrand Triple Sec Dry Curacao. This is largely due to the work of one man - Alexandre Gabriel. The French entrepreneur and spirits connoisseur joined the Pierre Ferrand company in 1989 and fundamentally revitalized the business. Gabriel not only ensured that the partly antiquated distilleries were replaced with very modern, but traditionally operated systems, but also sensibly expanded the company's portfolio.
As is common in the Cognac region, Alexandre Gabriel also sold the used Cognac barrels so that manufacturers of other spirits could mature their spirits in them. Many of these barrels went to rum producers in the Caribbean and, due to the years of business relationships, close friendships developed that enabled Alexandre Gabriel to import some very rare barrels of rum to France. This was the birth of Plantation Rum! The rums bottled under the name Plantation Rum mature in the cellars of Pierre Ferrand Cognac and are blended and bottled depending on their country of origin. For all Plantation Rums, Pierre Ferrand's cellar masters ensure that they are bottled at the right time. That is, when the cellar master considers the respective Plantation Rum to be mature.
The production of the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve
As the name suggests, the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve is produced in Barbados in small copper pot stills. There it first matures for some time in former bourbon barrels before being shipped to France. Once in France, the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve is transferred to cognac barrels and matures there for a longer period.
