Plantation Rums have long since ceased to be an insider’s tip. These excellent rums are sourced mainly from the Caribbean and South America, and are then brought to France, where they are given their finishing touches. In Ars, France, the rum is subsequently stored for several months in small, decommissioned oak Cognac casks. This method of maturation is known as ‘double ageing’, a technique that was already in use in the 18th and 19th centuries.
