From 2024, the Plantation brand will be renamed Planteray by Maison Ferrand. This decision reflects the company's endeavour to show sensitivity and respect for historical contexts, particularly with regard to issues such as racial equality, equality and diversity.

The name change aims to make the brand image more modern and cosmopolitan. "Planteray" combines "Plant" for sugar cane and "Ray" for rays of sunshine, which support the growth of sugar cane, and aims to create a positive association without historical baggage. Despite the name change, the flavour and production process of the rums remain unchanged.

The West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados produces rum from molasses, which is distilled using both pot and column still methods after a two-day fermentation. After maturing for three years in bourbon barrels in Barbados, the rum is taken to Maison Ferrand in France, where it is aged for a further two years in Ferrand barrels. A final one-year finish in Amarone barrels gives the rum deep aromas, creating a particularly complex flavour profile.
