Product description
The Plantation rum collection is the result of the passion of a connoisseur, expert and enthusiast, Alexandre Gabriel.
The history of his connections 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 discovered the world of Caribbean rum and threw himself into the search for business partners in Barbados, Guyana, and Jamaica. The Plantation collection was created. Gabriel is currently the owner of the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, the Clarendon Distillery, and the Long Pond Distillery, and a shareholder in National Rum of Jamaica. Plantation is the 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 already in the climate of the Cognac region in France, in specially selected barrels of local cognac.
Plantation Stiggins' Fancy is a tribute to Charles Dickens' character, Reverend Stiggins, who was fond of "pineapple rum". The drink is made from Plantation 3 Stars rum, infused with Victoria pineapple peel, which is then further distilled. The second ingredient is Plantation Original Dark rum, infused with pineapple fruit. The distillate and pineapple tincture are then blended. The whole thing is then matured in barrels of smoky Teeling Irish whiskey.
