Mister Fogg Sail No2
Planteray’s Alexandre Gabriel has just launched something special for rum lovers: Mister Fogg Sail No2, a navy-style rum that brings history to life. Released alongside the new book The Rum Never Sets, this limited-edition spirit captures 300 years of Royal Navy rum tradition, told through flavour, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
300 Years of Royal Navy & London Dock Rum
In a bold double release, Planteray unveils both Mister Fogg Sail No2 and a meticulously researched book, The Rum Never Sets: 300 Years of Royal Navy & London Dock Rum. Co-authored by Alexandre Gabriel and spirits historian Matt Pietrek, the book took five years to complete and is the first major work focused entirely on navy rum.
To complement this literary deep dive, Gabriel created Mister Fogg Sail No2, a rum shaped by history and inspired by Royal Navy veteran Michael Fogg. The release is supported by an upcoming Navy Rum Tour across Europe in autumn 2025, which will feature tastings and masterclasses.
