At Citadelle, every drop of gin tells a story, beginning with that of the juniper berry, the soul of our spirit. These fruits embody a know-how that combines tradition and respect for nature, celebrated through a harvest that brings our team together.
In Cognac, 2024 was marked by VERY unpredictable weather. Grapes, the raw material for cognac, are particularly sensitive to humidity and other environmental factors. Fortunately, the Ferrand team showed remarkable resilience to still make the harvest as fruitful as ever!
As part of our 2024 Single Cask releases, we have exchanged some of our finest Planteray rum casks with our friends at Adriatico and have taken hold of some of theirs. As a result, we are delighted to present to you the Planteray Barbados 2017 Rum finished in amaretto cask. A world first!
The recent decision by the Jamaica Intellectual Property Office (JIPO) to radically modify the geographical indication of Jamaican rum raises crucial questions about preserving the traditions and expertise that have shaped the global reputation of this iconic spirit.
Our famous Planteray XO 20th Anniversary is now available as PXXO, a new expression finished in Pedro Ximenez casks. This is one to not miss!
Knowledge sharing among teams is at the heart of our DNA at Maison Ferrand. These exchanges between worlds of excellence always offer us exceptional moments. This is illustrated by Fannie, Research and Creation Manager in Cognac, and Dario from Stade's West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados.
From October 14th to 16th, Maison Ferrand will be at Bar Convent Berlin. On the agenda: tastings of exciting new products, a masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel, as well as a Planteray Rum takeover with Nico de Soto. We can’t wait to see you there!
A new chapter opens for Planteray with the launch of Mister Fogg Navy Rum, a bold creation that pays homage to the legend of British Navy rums, combining ancestral know-how and innovative techniques for a unique tasting experience.
From September 28th to 30th, Maison Ferrand will have a stronger presence than ever at the Whisky Live show. Exceptional tastings, a round table discussion, and masterclasses will punctuate the event throughout these three days. We can't wait to see you there!
