In this episode, we are heading to France to talk with legendary Proprietor & Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel of Maison Ferrand. We step back in time to when he was a small boy, learning how to distill from his grandfather & how those lessons of preserving the essence of the land carries through towards today. Alexandre tells us how he found Maison Ferrand and expanded into other spirits bringing the same love & dedication to craft. Then we step into our archives with an interview and performance from Mahogany.

„Návštěva Maison Ferrand předčila všechna moje očekávání. Alexandre Gabriel, který stojí za značkou rumů Plantation se nebojí improvizovat a zkoušet nové věci. Jeho návštěva u nás je tak trochu zázrak,“ říká ambassador Plantation rumů pro Českou republiku, Jan Albrecht.

It would be quite easy to say that Alexandre Gabriel has a unique sense about spirits. Not only did he take Maison Ferrand, a dormant Cognac house and turn it around, but he's also created some of the most iconic brands in a variety of spirit categories. 

One of the most notable is Citadelle Gin. 

Created in the mid-'90s, Citadelle was a front runner in the craft gin movement and set an example that raised the bar for the category, an example that many have tried to follow. 

Although Gabriel created the brand as a tribute to early French distilling, the brand has taken a unique approach to the production process from its botanicals through to its distillation.

To find out more, we talk to Alexandre Gabrielle about the brand, its philosophy and how best to use the expression in a cocktail. 

Alexandre Gabriel is the Master blender at both Maison Ferrand Cognac as well as Plantation Rums. Growing up on a farm gave him insight as to how taking care of the land can take care of you. He brings that ethos to every bottle he produces. It’s a fascinating talk, tune in!
