Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal Rum

Plantation 3 Stars Artisanal White Rum. Cognac Ferrand / Maison Ferrand, Trinidad, Barbados & Jamaica — a three-island blend combining the finesse of Trinidadian column still rum, the elegance of Barbadian pot still rum, and the full-flavored funk of Jamaican pot still rum, creating the cocktail white rum standard used by some of the world's top bartenders.

The three stars represent the three islands: Trinidad, Barbados, and Jamaica. Each contributes something the others cannot. Trinidad's column still rums bring lightness, clean grain character, and bright citrus notes — the kind of elegant backbone that makes a great Daiquiri. Barbados adds the fruity, medium-bodied Barbadian pot still character for roundness and tropical depth. Jamaica contributes the pot still weight, banana, and high-ester funk that gives the blend character and verve. Together they produce a white rum of genuine complexity — vibrant, balanced, and built for cocktails, but rewarding enough to sip.

Alexandre Gabriel and the Cognac Ferrand team develop 3 Stars specifically as the cocktail bartender's white rum: approachable but not bland, complex but not overwhelming, and consistently delivering what serious cocktail applications demand. It forms the white rum base in several Plantation products including Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple, and is the benchmark against which many cocktail rums are measured.
