Planteray 'Original Dark' Dark Rum is a masterful blend of rums from two renowned Caribbean distilleries: the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados and the Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica. This rum combines column and pot still distillation methods, which results in a rich and smooth rum with a profound and intense structure. With a balanced combination of molasses, the rum reflects the diverse flavors of both islands, showcasing the craftsmanship and heritage of their respective distilleries.
The rum's aroma offers a deep, molasses-forward sweetness with hints of dark fruits, spice, and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied flavor profile, rich with molasses, caramel, and a touch of tropical fruit, rounded out by a slight smokiness from the pot still distillation. The rum has a smooth, warming finish, making it perfect for sipping or for adding depth to cocktails.
With an alcohol content of 40% ABV, Planteray 'Original Dark' is versatile enough for both classic rum cocktails like a Dark 'n' Stormy or a Rum Punch, as well as being enjoyable neat or on the rocks. The careful fermentation process—72 hours in Barbados and two weeks in Jamaica—further enhances its complexity, making it an exceptional choice for both connoisseurs and casual rum drinkers alike.
