The French company "Cognac Ferrand" is primarily known for its expertise in Cognac production. Through the years, they established significant relationships with Caribbean distilleries by supplying them with former Cognac barrels. This synergy led Alexandre Gabriel, the owner, to become enamored with the world of rum during a visit to the Caribbean. His passion culminated in the creation of the Plantation Rum series. The "Plantation Original Dark" is a testament to this passion. This premium blend comprises molasses rums matured in their countries of origin, Barbados and Jamaica. In Barbados, the rum ages for one to three years, while in Jamaica, the high ester rum, distilled in pot stills, rests for a substantial ten to fifteen years. The production process remains dedicated to authenticity, with distillation occurring directly in the sugarcane's native regions.
Plantation Original Dark stands out due to its blend of rums aged in Barbados and Jamaica, with meticulous attention to traditional distillation methods and aging processes.
Plantation Original Dark is produced by Plantation, a brand under the French company Cognac Ferrand.
The rum is aged in former Cognac barrels, contributing to its complex flavor profile.
As a rum connoisseur, Plantation Original Dark is a delightful discovery. Its intricate blend of young and aged rums from Barbados and Jamaica, combined with the influence of Cognac barrels, results in a rich, multifaceted flavor profile. The balance of tropical fruit, spices, and caramel notes provides an engaging sipping experience that both novice and seasoned rum enthusiasts will appreciate. Without a doubt, this is a premium rum that stands out in any collection.
