Planteray Rum (formerly Plantation) is the rum house linked to Maison Ferrand in Cognac, widely known for a blender-led, cask-driven approach. Rather than operating as a single distillery, they work as a modern rum house: partnering with producers in different rum regions, selecting distillates and casks, then applying a house signature through blending and cask finishing, often with an additional maturation step in France. The style typically leans rounded, aromatic, and equally at home neat or in cocktails.
Planteray Rum Isle of Fiji is a smooth yet characterful rum that highlights Fiji’s tropical, fruit-forward profile in a way that feels both rounded and highly cocktail-friendly. It’s made in Fiji from molasses, often using a mix of column- and pot-still distillates, bringing together clean fruit notes and a deeper, gently spicy backbone.
In the glass, it’s usually generous and aromatic: tropical fruit (pineapple, banana, mango), orange peel, vanilla, and a soft, lightly spiced sweetness with a hint of caramel. On the palate it often reads unusually rounded—never heavy, but distinctly soft and approachable—which is why it works so well both neat and mixed.
Serving and use
Neat or on ice: an easy sipping rum thanks to its fruit and soft oak character.
In cocktails: excellent in Daiquiri or Mai Tai-style drinks when you want tropical fruit and a smooth texture.
As a highball: rum + soda/ginger ale with citrus makes a bright, fruity serve.
