Plantation Original Dark

WEALTH AND AUTHENTICITY

The rich and intense style of Jamaica and Barbados, with their notes of plum, banana and vanilla, is enhanced by meticulous blending and further maturation, in France.

The result is a profound structure spiced with notes of cinnamon and clove, whose smoky quality adds texture.

An ideal companion for cocktails.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Hints of black peppercorn, clove, cinnamon, baked cherry, prune, molasses; later sniffs encounter forest, leaves, black tea, dry stone.

Palate: Entry is fruity with white raisins, dried pineapple, and is off-dry. midpalate is spicy, piquant, minerally, and significantly drier than the entry stage. Ends spicy.

Plantation Rum

Plantation Rum is a well-known and respected brand name in the world of rum, owned by Maison Ferrand, a French company that also produces other spirits such as cognac and gin. The name "Plantation" refers to the traditional sugar cane plantations where rum was originally produced. Under the leadership of Alexandre Gabriel, who has run the company since the 1990s, Plantation Rum has developed into one of the leading brands in the premium rum category.

One of Plantation Rum's distinguishing features is the use of a double maturation technique. After the first maturation in the tropics, the rum is transported to France, where it undergoes a second maturation in former cognac barrels at Maison Ferrand. This double maturation adds complexity and depth to the rum's flavour profiles. Planteray is an alternative brand name used by Maison Ferrand from 2024 to adapt their branding to modern sensibilities. The content and craftsmanship remain the same, while maintaining an emphasis on quality and authenticity.
