Product description
The Plantation rum collection is the result of the passion of a connoisseur, expert and enthusiast, Alexandre Gabriel.
The history of his relationship with the alcohol markets began relatively recently, in 1989, when Gabriel discovered one of the oldest alcohol brands in France, Maison Ferrand located in the Cognac region. Ten years later, having restored Maison Ferrand's due reputation and brand recognition, Alexandre Gabriel discovers the world of Caribbean rum and throws himself into the search for business partners in Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica. The Plantation collection is created. Gabriel is currently the owner of the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, the Clarendon Distillery and the Long Pond Distillery, and a co-owner of National Rums of Jamaica.
Plantation is a world of rums, created at the interface of cognac and the Caribbean - cognac barrels are used by rum producers to mature Caribbean spirits, rums are matured in the tropics, and additionally matured for a shorter period in the climate of the Cognac region in France, in specially selected local cognac barrels.
Rum Plantation Australia 2007 is an unusual spirit in many ways. A spirit based on molasses, fermented here using two different types of yeast, lasting a total of 15 days (12+3).

Then transported to France, to the Charente region and an additional year in Ferrand cognac barrels.
