Deep inside Barbados’ Kendal Farm, a bold initiative is taking root: cultivating coconuts to support sustainable farming for our Planteray Cut & Dry rum. But the project reaches far beyond coconut trees.
At our home in Ars, Cognac a new workshop has opened on the grounds of Chateau de Bonbonnet. Under the keen guidance of our Master Coppersmith, Gaylord Urbain, the space is turning into a workshop of excellent and dedication to finessing the fine art of distillation.
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!
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.
Following on from our Citadelle Thé French gin, we're delighted to present another exclusive spirit in our Château de Bonbonnet boutique: Planteray Single Cask Barbados 2022 finished in a cask of... Hot Sauce 🌶️, a unique rum featuring the flavours of Louisiana's iconic hot sauce!
Maison Ferrand will be present at Rhum Fest Paris from 4 to 6 May 2024 with a programme of masterclasses, as well as an exceptional competition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fair, with a unique barrel of Barge 166 up for grabs!
Bringing together and sharing of knowledge between our teams in Barbados and Cognac is part of our core values. We believe that sharing is the key to progress and that pooling our respective experiences can only enhance our capabilities.
