- Description
A combination of rums from the two Central American countries of Belize and Guatemala.
These are matured for 3 (Guatemala) or up to 6 (Belize) years in American white oak in a tropical climate, then again for a good year in used Cognac barrels from Ferrand in France.
Inviting nose with notes of sherry, nuts and spices. Broad, creamy on the palate. Hints of port, tobacco and licorice as well as hints of toast.
After successfully taking over the traditional but aged cognac house Pierre Ferrand in 1989, Alexander Gabriel launched the gin brand Citadelle in 1996 and only a year later the rum brand Plantation. But how does a cognac producer get to rum? Alexander Gabriel decides to sell his highly valued barrels to producers who ask him. Requests continue to come in for cognac barrels used to refine rum during the aging process, especially from the Caribbean and Latin America. His interest is piqued. So he travels to the Caribbean to get an idea of exactly what happens to these barrels and is overwhelmed and fascinated by the versatility and range that this distillate offers. So he decides to turn the tables and from now on he buys barrels full of rum from the producers, which he then brought to France and then takes them under his wing and thus decides in which cognac barrels they will continue to mature and for how long. He has continued to professionalize and improve this concept, which is why he was voted Rum Blender of the Year at the 2012 Golden Rum Barrels Awards. Today, Plantation Rum offers four different lines, all of excellent quality and covering the spectrum so that bartenders and rum enthusiasts alike are happy.
