When it turned out everything he knew about Navy Rum was wrong, Alexandre Gabriel sailed out to set the record straight… and start making his own. The brains behind Maison Ferrand Cognac and Planteray Rum, Alexandre set about relearning everything he ever knew about this unique style of rum which resulted in a book - Exploring 300 Years of Royal Navy Rum & its Techniques - and Mister Fogg, a new bottling that bears the name of a real British navy veteran. Alexandre sits down with the band to talk about the journey, the knowledge, and the rum that is definitely rumming.
