Maison Ferrand, which is behind Plantation Rum, Cognac Ferrand and Citadelle, is managed by the indescribable Alexandre Gabriel, a hyperactive enthusiast who added a serious string to his bow in 2017, by acquiring the West Indies Rum Distillery from Barbados, thereby becoming co-owner of National Rums of Jamaica (Long Pond, […]
For more than two years now, the El Dorado brand has revised the recipe for its three flagship blends, which are the 12, 15 and 21 years. This development took place discreetly, during a small makeover, and the famous Demerara distillers have not communicated at all on the subject. […]
