PLANTATION - Under The Sea Collection - Fiji - 13 years old - Vintage 2009 - 49.5%
Plantation 's story began in 1989 when Alexandre Gabriel discovered Maison Ferrand in Cognac . He surrounds himself with a team of enthusiasts and travels around the world to establish a distribution network that shares the same values and the same vision as Maison Ferrand. In the 1990s, he left for the Caribbean with the idea of reselling some of his used Cognac barrels to other producers, and in particular rum producers. In search of the best rums in the Caribbean, he created Plantation, a range of terroir rums . Today, the House is centered on three great spirits: Cognac Ferrand de Grande Champagne, Gin Français Citadelle and Rhum de Terroirs Plantation. Plantation is also the owner of West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, and shareholder of National Rum of Jamaica (Clarendon Distillery and Long Pond).
Plantation's ' Under the Sea ' collection highlights the underwater flora and fauna of six rum-producing countries. Each bottling is distinguished by the emblematic colors and local species of its region. This edition is a molasses rum from the Fiji Islands, distilled in 2009 in a pot still. It was aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels of 200 liters in a tropical climate in Lautoka, then 3 years in a continental climate , in 350-liter oak barrels from Maison Ferrand in Javrezac.
