Planteray Original Dark Rum

Planteray Original Dark is the foundational expression that launched the Planteray/Plantation brand's global reputation — a two-island blend that remains one of the finest value dark mixing rums on the market after decades of continuous production. One of Planteray's original landmark rums and a blend of two island styles at opposite ends of the rum spectrum — 1 to 3-year-old column and pot still rums from the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados and 10 to 15-year-old high-ester Jamaican pot still rums from Long Pond Distillery — fermented on entirely different timescales, with Barbados at 72 hours and Jamaica at two full weeks for maximum funk development. The final blend travels to southwest France where it rests in wooden vats for three to six months, marrying the two components into a harmonious whole. The nose delivers black peppercorn, clove, cinnamon, baked cherry, prune, and molasses with forest floor and dry stone emerging with time, while the palate is fruity on entry with white raisins, dried pineapple, and banana — turning piquantly spicy and minerally at midpalate before finishing with cinnamon, clove, and tropical fruit warmth. The dark rum float that makes a Mai Tai sing, the base that builds a perfect Jungle Bird, and the Dark & Stormy backbone that outlasts everything else at its price point. Bottled at 40% ABV.
