The new name combines “Plant” (plant) and “Ray” (ray) and is symbolic of sugar cane and the sun's rays that promote its growth. Despite the renaming, both the quality and the production of the rum remain unchanged. Each plantation rum is an expression of its Caribbean country of origin. Alexandre Gabriel, Maison Ferrand's owner and master distiller, works closely with local distilleries who produce the rums, where they have to age in warm Caribbean cellars for the first part of their lives. Alexandre has cultivated enduring relationships with the finest Caribbean distilleries. The name Plantation is intended to reflect the most important terroirs and rum cultures.

Fruity and dry, a great sipping rum. Nothing like a sweet Diplomatico or the Plantation XO but has a wonderful unique flavour bourbon drinkers will appreciate. Like the 5 year old, it's a proper rum. For me, it's too good for a daiquiri. It's already quite a fruity drink and you have to go easy on the lime. This rum works well with full fat mixers, especially good quality citrusy ones but I went back to drinking it neat quite quickly.

Way too sweet, what did they add?! Also it tastes quite young. Don’t put out a young rum and then dose it up and bottle it at 40% ABV. Makes a good rum a mixer.
