Planteray ‘OFTD’ Overproof Dark Rum

Planteray ‘OFTD’ Overproof Dark Rum is a bold, classic Navy Rum that pays homage to the tradition of high–proof, full-bodied spirits once favored by sailors. A meticulously crafted blend of rums from Barbados, Jamaica, and Guyana, this expression is the result of extensive research by award-winning cellar master Alexandre Gabriel, who collaborated with seasoned rum experts to create this powerful and flavorful rum. It is bottled at 69% ABV, delivering a strong, intense profile reminiscent of the Royal Navy’s historical overproof style.

The rum features a rich combination of molasses–based rums, each with unique fermentation and distillation methods that contribute to its complexity. The Barbados rum undergoes a 72-hour fermentation, using a blend of twin column and pot still distillation, while Jamaica’s 2-week fermentation, coupled with pot still distillation, provides deep, smoky notes. The Guyanese rum, fermented for a week and distilled using the renowned Port Mourant pot still, adds layers of rich, dark sugarcane flavor, enhancing the rums depth.

This dark rum is perfect for sipping, mixed into cocktails, or enjoyed in the traditional Navy-style punch. Its robust character pairs well with strong flavors, making it a fantastic choice for those who appreciate high-proof spirits with a storied past. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a daring mixed drink, Planteray ‘OFTD’ will leave a lasting impression.
