Plantation Rum is a renowned brand synonymous with the production of high-quality, artisanal rums, capturing the essence of Caribbean culture and the very best of the art of rum-making in every bottle. Behind the brand is Maison Ferrand, a French fine spirits house that has been led since 1989 by the passionate entrepreneur and master blender Alexandre Gabriel. Originally known as a cognac producer, Maison Ferrand expanded its portfolio to include rum in the 1990s, thereby bringing the Plantation brand to life.

Caribbean tradition and French expertise

During his travels through the Caribbean, Alexandre Gabriel discovered his love for rum and began to forge close relationships with the region’s finest distilleries. Today, Plantation Rum works closely with producers in various countries, including Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad, drawing on the diversity of Caribbean rum culture. This close collaboration and the unique blend of Caribbean traditions with French expertise have made Plantation Rum a globally recognised brand.

The Art of Double Ageing

One of the distinctive techniques that sets Plantation Rum apart from other brands is ‘double ageing’ – a method of double maturation that gives the rum its unmistakable character. The rums are first matured in tropical wooden casks in the Caribbean, where the hot, humid climate intensifies the flavours and accelerates the ageing process. The casks are then transported to France, where the rums are aged a second time in ex-cognac casks. This additional ageing in a cooler climate lends the rum extra finesse and depth, resulting in a harmonious, complex flavour profile.

A diverse range

Plantation offers a wide range, from classic rums to rare single-cask bottlings. The main collections include:

• Vintage Collection: Vintage rums, each from a specific country and vintage, representing the unique terroirs and traditions of their respective countries of origin.
• Signature Blends: A selection of blends that form the heart of the brand and are ideal for enjoying neat or in cocktails.
• Single Cask Collection: Limited-edition single cask bottlings that reveal an even deeper, more individual side to rum.
• Extrême Series: Highly limited special editions for true rum enthusiasts seeking rare casks and exceptional taste experiences.

Sustainability and Responsibility

Plantation Rum is committed to sustainable production and responsible business practices. The brand supports environmental initiatives in the Caribbean, such as promoting local agriculture and fair working conditions.
