Origin : The brainchild of Alexandre Gabriel's Cognac Ferrand, Plantation rum combines a number of the finest Caribbean rums with a double aging process in the cellars of Cognac Ferrand's Château de Bonbonnet in France.
In addition to the traditional aging of rum in used American Bourbon oak casks, a number of distilleries also age their rums in other used barrels such as sherry or cognac. It was though the relationships built by Cognac Ferrand, in shipping their cognac barrels to these distilleries that Alexandre Gabriel was able to discover some of the rich, aromatic and flavoursome small batch rums, originally intended either for the personal enjoyment of the distillery's Master Distiller or for blending in more generic consumer rums. Cognac Ferrand decided to bottle these special rums as a series of rare vintages.
Most of the vintage rums are a blend of rums from one or more distilleries in their country of origin and after being aged in Bourbon barrels at that distillery's cellars for a minimum of 8 years, they are shipped to Ch

Each Island has a distinct rum style developed over centuries and brings its own special character to Plantation Three Stars Silver Rum: matured Trinidad rum imparts its classic elegance, Barbados delivers sophistication with a balanced mouth feel and Jamaica conveys its unmistakable structure and rustic edge."
"For more than 400 years in the Cognac region, the goal of a great cellar master is to understand each component and use it to create a blend that is far superior than each one separately. Armed with our ancestral know-how and with this purpose in mind, the Ferrand team and I have created this Plantation rum what we call "Plantation Three Stars" in honour of the three historical rum producing islands of the Caribbean. We hope you enjoy it.
Alexandre Gabriel."
"Tasting Notes: Keenly vibrant and well-balanced, Plantation Three Stars displays the finesse and style of Trinidad and Barbados well integrated with the character and fuller flavours of Jamaica. On the nose it has delicate notes of tropical fruits intertwined with brown sugar and ripe banana. On the palate it displays subtle spices and floral notes with a finish of sugar cane and vanilla."
