Plantation Rums have long since ceased to be an insider’s tip. These excellent rums are sourced mainly from the Caribbean and South America, and are then brought to France, where they are given their finishing touches. In Ars, France, the rum is subsequently stored for several months in small, decommissioned oak cognac casks. This method of maturation is known as ‘double ageing’, a technique that was already in use in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Plantation Single Cask Rums are exclusive, limited-edition rums that undergo a unique, two-stage ageing process. First, they are aged in the tropics in Bourbon casks and are then further refined in Ferrand casks at the Château de Bonbonnet in France. An additional maturation phase in specially selected beer, wine or spirits casks emphasises their unique characteristics. Each bottle of these rare rums is personalised and numbered, with only a small number of casks being bottled each year, making them particularly sought-after by collectors.

Plantation Rum Barbados Very Special Old is produced using an elaborate process that involves both pot and column still distillation, using molasses as the raw material. The fermentation of this premium rum lasts between three and four days, laying the foundation for its characteristic flavour. The main ageing period lasts four years, during which the rum is stored in selected bourbon casks. It then undergoes a further year of ageing in Ferrand casks before the rum is finished for four months in port casks, which lends it an additional dimension of flavour and depth.
