Customer Reviews"Loved it! I tried one neat, one on the rocks, both were smooth and layered. Instantly became a go to bottle."Â Â Kevin"Does what it does well, but feels lighter and sweeter than I prefer. Still great for after dinner sipping."Â Â Arman"Beautiful balance of fruit and oak. Reminds me of a tropical dessert with just the right spice."Â Â Leah
Interesting FactAlthough it carries the âGrand Terroirâ name, this expression includes a small amount of sugar (known as dosage), a technique borrowed from cognac finishing. It adds a soft touch that stirs up friendly debate among rum purists.
Serving SuggestionsBest enjoyed neat or with a single large cube to allow its complexity to open. For cocktails, try it in a Rum Old Fashioned with a dash of chocolate bitters or in a decadent twist on a Mai Tai.
Distillery BackgroundPlantation Rum is the brainchild of Alexandre Gabriel and Maison Ferrand. The brand sources its rums from top-producing Caribbean distilleries, then ships them to France for secondary aging. The West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, now owned by Plantation, provides the robust base spirit. Through time, tradition, and a unique dual-aging philosophy, Plantation delivers terroir driven rums that blur the line between cultures while honoring both.
