Kaniché

In 2017, the French Cognac and spirits house Maison Ferrand - known for its Plantation, or Planteray, rums - acquired its first distillery outside France: the storied West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, founded back in 1893 by George Stade. Maison Ferrand had already been sourcing rum here for its own bottlings since the early 2000s; with the purchase of the distillery came a distinct new line: Kaniché, a Barbados rum combining the house's traditional double-cask maturation with the island's unmistakably smooth character.
