Maison Ferrand:

Maison Ferrand, led by spirits guru Alexandre Gabriel. The company is behind well-known brands of rum, cognac and gin. The company includes Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Plantation Rum and Citadelle Gin, rum under the Kaniché brand and cognac under the name Claude Chatelier. A number of luxury liqueurs are produced, of which their curaçao in particular has caused excitement in cocktail bars around the world. The company is broad, but common to every single drop is an unwavering dedication to quality.

Maison Ferrand was created with one mission: to preserve the gastronomic treasures of France. Alexandre has made a virtue of breathing life into old and long-forgotten traditions, and the eternally eager Frenchman is known, among other things, for dusting off and buying up old archives from bankrupt houses, in order to learn more about the production methods of the past. But at Ferrand you also understand the value of renewal, and today innovation is valued as highly as tradition. This is clearly seen in the Citadelle Gin brand. Getting permission to distill gin in Cognac required five years of bureaucratic struggle against the area's stubborn spirit giants.

Since then, the company has spread beyond France's borders. In 2017, the company bought the Barbados distillery West Indies Rum Distillery, and now also has its own rum production from scratch.
Guyana is the result of an extra long fermentation and pot still distillation and long aging in bourbon casks gives it a fullness in aroma and taste.
