Plantation 3 Stars White Rum

A large majority of rum producers offer a white rum variety. Maison Ferrand wanted to produce a white rum that would stand out from the others using rums aged and unaged and taking advantage of the exceptional talent of the House for blending cognacs. Plantation 3 Stars White Rum is a blend of rums from three islands: Trinidad (rum aged two or three years), Barbados (young rum), and Jamaica (old rum). This final blend was carefully thought out by our cellar master and each island brings its own aromatic characteristics.

Tasting Notes: “Opening aroma offers delicate scents of brown sugar, honey, coffee bean, cocoa bean; later whiffs following further aeration encounter baking spices, especially, vanilla, allspices, cloves; a bouquet of delicacy. Entry is biscuity, batter-like, yet is bittersweet and light-bodied; mid-palate features round, supple flavors of dark chocolate, root beer, toasted marshmallow, egg cream, vanilla soda. Finishes fast, refined, almost fragile. Serious white rum at its grassy, herbal best.” – Paul Pacult, Spirits Journal

Plantation 3 Stars White Rum is carefully thought out blend of rums from three islands: Trinidad (rum aged two or three years), Barbados (young rum), and Jamaica (old rum).

Plantation rums are first aged for many years in the Caribbean, in its hot and humid climate, generally in young bourbon casks. When they reach maturity or a desired age, they are shipped to Maison Ferrand’s Château de Bonbonnet at cask strength in order to preserve their richness of aroma and flavor.

There, they are finished by Maison Ferrand in their ‘traditional style’ for several months to a year in cognac casks in order to give them more roundness. Many of the standard Plantation rum range also have sugar added (called ‘dosage’ by some French producers) in order to create the sweeter rums that Plantation are best known for and popularly used by bartenders for mixing cocktails and tiki drinks.
