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.

The taste of the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve

On the nose, the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve has lots of fruity tones and a little vanilla. On the palate, these aromas of the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve are complemented by honey, caramel and oak notes. The overall quite soft Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve has a slight alcoholic bite in the aftertaste, which gives it additional character. All in all, the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve is a very balanced rum that is suitable for drinking neat as well as for use in cocktails and long drinks.

Plantation Guatemala & Belize Gran Anejo 0,7L 42 %
Plantation Guatemala & Belize Gran Anejo 0.7L 42% A marriage of two countries The “Plantation Guatemala & Belize Gran Anejo" brings together two extraordinary distillates from Belize and Guatemala in a limited edition. The northernmost part of the country, Petén, the origin of the fine drink, is characterized by a mild climate with average temperatures between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius. The Yucatán peninsula ensures climatic stability in the highland region. The highlands are the most populous region in Guatemala and at the same time the cultural center of the country. Rum production plays a major role in the history of Belize, as pirates already valued the noble spirit. Both countries share a passion for creating something extraordinary. The child of marriage The delicious blend was obtained from carefully selected molasses in the continuous column still process. After the distillation process, the rum was stored for 3 years in oak barrels on the Central American continent. Since the Caribbean has higher temperatures and humidity, the rum matures much faster there. It was then shipped to France, where it was refined in former cognac barrels. This gave the "Plantation Guatemala & Belize Gran Anejo" a particularly intense note. The company's own steps The "Plantation Guatemala & Belize Gran Anejo" impresses with its bright, warm amber color in the glass, and you can immediately feel the sweet aromas of vanilla with a hint of fine cocoa. After a while, a rather heavy wood note develops, which is, however, surrounded by the vanilla. When you taste it, the Plantation Rum is amazingly soft and round. With a sophisticated combination of licorice and nuts, a slightly bitter undertone is created. In the finish, the aromas that you already noticed while pouring appear again and offer a harmonious overall picture. The limited edition shows both its tropical and European side. Since it is a complex rum, it is best drunk neat or on ice to experience its full power and variety.

Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaica Rum 0,7L 43%
Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaica Rum 0.7L 43% Maison Ferrand France Maison Ferrand is now one of the world's leading manufacturers of the finest volumes. The company was founded in 1989 by Alexandre Gabriel. He wanted to keep forgotten and old artisanal methods alive, but at the same time promote new innovations. The first fine brandy was Ferrand Cognac, 100% regional and with a long history. This was followed by Citadelle Gin and in 1999 Plantation Rums. The latter was intended to represent his passion for old techniques of rum production. He introduced the double maturation process, which is still used in every Plantation Rum today and which distinguishes this rum. This means that first the normal maturation takes place in ex-bourbon barrels. After this maturation phase, the barrels are taken to Château de Bonbonnet in France, where they are transferred to smaller barrels made from French oak by Ferrand and undergo a second maturation phase. In 2017, the West Indies Rum Distillery was bought by the French company. The company also has a one-third share in the Long Pond Distillery and the Clarendon Distillery. Plantation Rum remains at the top when it comes to excellent rum, as Planation Rum was one of the first and most famous bottlers, which is evidence of a great deal of knowledge and craftsmanship. Latest bottling The Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaica Rum has been on the market since 2018. It is a blended rum made from rum varieties from the Long Pond Distillery and the Clarendon Distillery. It was then further refined by extended maturation in selected cognac barrels. In terms of taste, it keeps its promise. Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Rum is a dry rum, which means that no additional sugar has been added. It impresses with its fruity, spicy aromas. As the tasting progresses, other great aromas such as vanilla, ripe bananas and roasted pineapple emerge. There is also a hint of bitter orange. As the tasting progresses, other subtle aromas emerge. These include coconut, allspice, nuts and fruity notes of pears. In conclusion, it can be said that the Xaymaca rum is a very complex bottling, but never seems overloaded. It is a great rum that is very suitable for beginners, especially in terms of value for money.

Plantation Rum Peru 2006 One Time Limited Edition 0,7L 47,9%
Plantation Rum Peru 2006 One Time Limited Edition 0.7L 47.9% Plantation Peru After the fantastic Plantation Barbados was released in 2011, there is only one new product in the One time limited edition series. It is a rum from Peru. Here, too, a collaboration was entered into with local master blenders, more precisely Jorge Luis Rodriquez Parajes, the master blender of the Cartavio Rum Company from Peru. A blend of two different types of distillery was chosen. One part of the rum was produced in a 'John Dore' pot still, another part was produced in a column still before the two were married together. Most of the time, i.e. the 'main maturation' took place in Peru in ex-bourbon barrels. However, since a special edition is usually also subjected to a finish, this was also done with the Plantation Peru. For this, the rum was brought back to Maison Ferrand in Freikreich. The rum was allowed to mature there for another three years in ex-Ferrand cognac barrels. The first notes on the nose are of dark chocolate, vanilla and subtle wood aromas. On the palate it is very soft and gentle, aromas such as chocolate and vanilla can be recognized here along with hints of passion fruit. In the finish, further fruity notes and the aroma of roasted nuts and cinnamon are added.

Plantation Rum Trinidad 2009 One Time Limited Edition 0,7L 51,8%
Plantation Rum Trinidad 2009 One Time Limited Edition 0.7L 51.8% The new one Trinidad 2009 One Time Limited Edition is a particularly noble and rare drop simply because of its origin. Rum from the Caribbean island of Trinidad is known for its intense and spicy aromas, but products from the former local distilleries are rarely found anymore. So it is all the more pleasing when a bottler has managed to get hold of the limited stocks. This Plantation Trinidad 2009 is also a limited edition. This rum was produced by Trinidad Distillers Limited and, after distillation in Trinidad, matured for 11 years in former bourbon barrels. The rum was then shipped to Europe, more precisely to Maison Ferrand in France, where it was left to mature for another year in ex-cognac barrels. The main aromas are tonka bean, coffee, vanilla and toffee. On the palate there are notes of cooked fruit and roasted nuts. All in all, the 2009 One Time is an absolutely harmonious rum, with other aromas such as pastries and light smoky and woody notes emerging in the long finish.
