Each Plantation Rum is an expression of his Caribbean country of origin. Alexandre Gabriel, owner and master burner of Maison Ferrand, works closely with local distilleries that produce the RUMs, where they have to age for the first part of their lives in warm Caribbean cellars. Alexandre has maintained permanent relationships with the best Caribbean distilleries. The name Plantation is intended to reflect the most important terroirs and rum cultures. Plantation is also the owner of the mythical West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados and Shareholder of National Rum of Jamaica, owner of Clarendon Distillery and Long Pond Distillery.
This exceptional rum combines fruity and smoky flavors, which are achieved through special maturation and the addition of a light smoky aroma. It is based on the popular Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum, which is known for its fruity, pineapple-accented character, and is enhanced by the smoky aroma to create a complex and deep taste experience.
The special smoky note is created by maturing the rum in former whisky barrels that have previously been heavily toasted. This gives the rum its characteristic, slightly smoky taste, which sets it apart from other rums. The rum is based on Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum, which is known for its use of real pineapple in its production. This gives the rum its natural fruitiness and tropical sweetness. This rum is ideal for drinking neat, on ice or as a special ingredient in cocktails, to which it adds a smoky and fruity note.
The aroma is intense and enticing with ripe pineapple notes accompanied by smoky accents. Vanilla, caramelized sugar and a hint of toasted oak round off the aromatic profile and make the nose particularly complex. On the palate, Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Smoky Rum presents itself with a harmonious combination of sweet pineapple and smoky notes reminiscent of grilled fruit. There is also soft vanilla, caramel and a hint of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The smoky notes give the rum a distinctive yet gentle depth. The finish is long and pleasant, with a balance of fruit, smoke and a slight sweetness that fades harmoniously and pampers the palate for a while.
