Spirit Ars
Alexandre Gabriel is a man whose incredible passion never failed for 20 years, since he is at the head of the famous House Cognac Ferrand who gave birth to the concept of home-made spirits. His passion and philosophy are simple: produce special, unique spirits, different and revolutionary jewels.
While traditional rums are produced in rum distilleries and aged in barrels under the tropical sun, Ferrand’s rums benefit from a unique ageing process that no other producer of rum of the industry uses, the “double ageing”! At the appropriate moment, rums come from their country of origin to Domain Ferrand in France and are refined during several additional months in small oak barrels peculiar to the House Ferrand.
These special Planation Rums come from the Barbados, Grenada, Guiana, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama and Trinidad. The beauty of authentic rums lies in their rich diversity regarding style and inheritance. Well chosen, rums of small independent domains or 'single island' can be of remarkable quality, with a whole range of aromas and flavours that can easily compete with a great Cognac or Armagnac in terms of depth or complexity.
The Collection of Plantation Rums offers nine precious and rare, very different and unique rums, refined by the Cellar master of the House Ferrand.
Its name honours the three islands of the Caribbean—Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica.
A great majority of rum producers propose a white rum. But Alexandre Gabriel wished to produce an outstanding one by using old and young rums and by taking advantage of the exceptional talents of the house in blending cognacs.For Plantation 3 Stars, he decided to use 3 year old Trinidad rum, filtered in carbon to keep its white color and to eliminate the heaviest tannins, while preserving the aromas developed and refined during ageing. Young rums from the Barbados and Jamaica are associated to the blend with a 12-year-old Jamaica rum.
3 Stars reveals the delicacy and the style of Trinidad and the Barbados, well-integrated in the rounder character and flavours of Jamaica. In the nose, delicate notes of exotic fruits mingle with brown sugar and ripe banana. On the palate, it reveals subtle spicy and floral notes, and finishes with cane sugar and vanilla.
Rum Plantation 3 Stars is going to move your palate!
