"This is a very fine rum that gives us bartenders a world of possibilities. You can be as creative as you like in creating cocktails with this rum, as it showcases itself finely as a sipper or in a classic Mai Tai.

ARND HENNING HEISSEN

Bar Manager - Ritz-Carlton, Curbain Club

"Plantation covers a wide range of tastes. Especially in a Bar such as the Curtain club, we are looking to fascinate our guests on a daily basis, for example with the several cask finishings it proves to be the perfect treat for a demanding connoisseur."

Benoit Bail

Fondateur de la Confrérie du Rhum

"La marque Plantation est aujourd’hui un incontournable dans le monde du rhum. On a rarement vu un tel choix en gamme, surtout que celle-ci ne fait que grandir et là encore, sans compter les nombreux millésimes proposés par cette maison de prestige. On ne peut que saluer le professionnalisme et l’éternelle passion d’Alexandre et de son équipe, autant au niveau de la créativité concernant les blends et de toutes les finitions mis en avant par la marque, qu’au niveau pour du remarquable travail marketing et de distribution à travers le monde. Plantation représente exactement le résultat de ce que l’on attend des professionnels du secteur, c’est-à-dire, de nous faire voyager grâce à leur passion."

"In 2010, I had a chance to try the Cognac Ferrand product range for the first time. After the first sip I already knew that I would enjoy pouring those products for my customers, either neat or in cocktails. I love those products, not just for the taste but also for the passion which is behind them.

FLAVIEN DESOBLIN

“All Plantation rums brilliantly achieve the daunting task of linking the spirits to their places of origin! The styles are artfully respected through the delicate notes of their cask enhancement programs, and the prices are just perfect. It’s easy to fall in love with these and I can see why they’re getting so popular.

GERRY’S WINE AND SPIRITS TEA

"After years of trials and tribulations, Cognac Ferrand has mastered the craft of making the most fabulous expressions of rum from all over the world. Not to mention the only white rum that anybody should ever need!"

"When I create a drink I make sure that I take good quality products. It makes me happy to introduce my guests to a product that has character, individuality and diversity. I love to mix with the products of Cognac Ferrand."

Plantation 3-Year:

"At the bar of Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29, my new restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans, we feature Plantation 3-Year on our curated list of twenty rums "of rare and forthright character" for its artfully balanced notes of green apple, cinnamon and vanilla."

LOUIS TAN

Bar l'Aiglon - Singapour

"The strength of the Plantation Overproof rum helps compliment the lighter Barbados single island rum profile, allowing the flavour to stand up to the raspberry syrup that we use. I cannot think of a better overproof rum to use in this drink. ’

LUKAS MOTEJZIK

"For me, Cognac Ferrand is one of the companies with the highest quality level in the world. Plantation Rum is unique, the story is awesome and the notes are so different from countryside to countryside."

MEIKE CAROLINE FINK

"A friend of mine once brought Plantation 3 stars Rum along, and I have been ordering it from my supplier ever since. Quality and taste are great, and therefore the rum made it into the portfolio.

Plantation Royal Blend Smuggler's Cove Exclusive:
"This rum represents so much that is great about the centuries-old tradition of rum blending.  Starting with a classic base made of superb examples of distillates from the four largest traditional suppliers of rum to the UK and Royal Navy (Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad), Alexandre skillfully blends them into a unique and complex marriage of flavors and aromas. Following the traditional Plantation Rums practice of a further year of marriage in used cognac casks, Alexandre's idea to enhance this rum with the addition of time spent in a used AOC Maury cask reveals both Alexandre's deep understanding of his own blend and the artistic application of a secondary cask finish to accent the underlying spirit.  As with so many of Alexandre's creations, his skill and attention to detail yielded a unique and memorable product, one that I am proud to serve in my bar.  Working with him is always a pleasure, and his elegant approach to these most English of rums gives one hope that the French and British may one day come to tolerate each other.  But probably not."

PAUL MCFADYEN

Brand Ambassador Maison Ferrand

"I've devoted my life to enjoying rum in all it's myriad forms, but if I was forced - at the expense of so many of my favourite staples - I would choose Plantation 5 years old as my desert island spirit. A beautifully constructed rum, which in my opinion is pound for pound the best rum in the world. At Trailer Happiness it's the first bottle we grab for cocktails or just enjoying with damn good friends."

One of the many exciting things about Plantation Rum is that there is genuinely something for everyone and you don’t have to spend top dollar in order to get top quality. Plantation 3 Stars represents one of those amazing rum that works so well in a variety of serves but, that doesn’t cost the earth meaning it’s within the reach of all. So much depth of flavour, complex and interesting to sip. The fact that the packaging looks amazing too is just a bonus – it could only have come from Ferrand.

"I very much enjoy working with Plantation products for two reasons that are most relevant to me :

- Value for money : Brilliant !
- Many different taste varieties, which inspire one to come up with new creations, but also to enhance classics."

"Plantation Rum encompasses a vast range of rums from all over the Caribbean, Central and South America, capturing the style and character of their environment, for which it is famous.

I particularly like Plantation Rum Guyana, which evokes a sense of place remarkably well, delivering intense and astoundingly complex aromas and flavors redolent of fine Cognacs, making it the perfect example of a Demerara rum."
