In 1989 the Maison Ferrand cognac house was taken over by Alexandre Gabriel, who planned to return one of the region’s oldest spirit brands to the height of its powers. Starting with cognac and then moving into other fine spirits, Gabriel scoured the Caribbean throughout the 1990s in source of rum. From those trips the Plantation brand was born. Rums are transferred to France, where they undergo final maturations in a variety of casks.Â
