Planteray Mister Fogg is not just another rum, it’s an epic narrative brimming with rich history and craftsmanship.
Planteray Mister Fogg Navy Rum is a rum blend that pays homage to the heritage of Navy rum. Mister Fogg draws from four of the main rum-producing Caribbean islands historically used in Navy blends – Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana and Jamaica.
This rum is a tribute to the late Michael Fogg, a British naval veteran who joined ED&F Man, (supplier of rum to the British Royal Navy), shortly after his naval service. He was a key figure of the history of Navy rum, and his passion for this spirit significantly contributed to the creators understanding of what Navy rum truly is.
While there is no formal definition of Navy rum, rum experts usually agree that it is a blend of aged rums from two or more countries. Crafted with meticulous care, Planteray Mister Fogg Navy Rum is comprised of rums from Barbados, the birthplace of rum (West Indies Rum Distillery), Trinidad (Trinidad Distillers Ltd.), Guyana (Diamond Distillery) and Jamaica (National Rums of Jamaica).
Aged in ex-bourbon barrels in their countries of origin, the rums were then transported to the southwest of France, emulating the historic tradition of dynamic aging on ships. Upon arrival in the Cognac region, the blend undergoes double aging in used oak barrels and extensive oxygenation in large, open wooden vats, replicating the humid environment of the British docks, enhancing maturation. This process ensures a rum with a rich, mellow flavor and enhanced smoothness.
