Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Plantation Original Dark 1L wraps you in a warm embrace of caramelized banana, toasted coconut, and a hint of smoky molasses, instantly transporting you to the sun-drenched shores of Barbados. Crafted with care from rich island molasses and matured in oak casks, this rum delivers a harmonious balance at 40.00% ABV that lingers on the palate with notes of baking spice and dark fruit. Its bold character stands up beautifully alongside barbecue pork, where its subtle sweetness complements smoky meat, or paired with dark chocolate for an indulgent finish that highlights its velvety depth.

Producer Information: Maison Ferrand

Maison Ferrand, based in the heart of Cognac, France, was founded in 1989 by Alexandre Gabriel with a mission to revive artisanal methods and terroir-driven production in the region. The house is deeply rooted in the Grande Champagne cru, where it sources grapes for its signature cognacs, emphasizing traditional pot still distillation and extended aging in French oak casks. Maison Ferrand’s philosophy centers on transparency and authenticity, often employing ancestral techniques such as non-chill filtration and minimal intervention to highlight the unique character of each vintage. Beyond their acclaimed cognacs, Maison Ferrand also produces Plantation Rum from carefully selected Caribbean terroirs and Citadelle Gin distilled at their historic Château de Bonbonnet estate near Ars-sur-Formans, reflecting a commitment to regional expression across spirits categories.
