Plantation O.F.T.D. (Old Fashioned Traditional Dark) is a powerhouse blend of rums from Guyana, Jamaica and Barbados—three iconic rum-producing nations. Crafted in collaboration with some of the world’s top rum and tiki bartenders, this 69% ABV overproof rum is built for serious flavour and intensity. The blend includes long-aged pot and column still rums, aged in both tropical and continental climates in ex-bourbon casks to deliver layered richness and complexity.
Bouquet Explosively aromatic, with waves of treacle, burnt sugar, dark coffee, ripe banana and smoky molasses. There’s also baking spice, charred oak and a touch of citrus peel to lift the nose.
Palate Unapologetically bold. Dense notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, toffee and roasted pineapple dominate, backed by molasses and allspice. The heat is powerful but controlled, giving way to a long, spicy finish with echoes of oak char, coffee bean and caramelised fruit. A serious rum for those who like their spirits full throttle.
Food Pairing Ideal for tiki cocktails like Zombies, Planters Punch, or Jet Pilots where deep flavour and high strength are key. Pair with rich foods like pulled pork, jerk chicken, or dark chocolate truffles for a decadent experience.
Cellaring This rum is built to last—its high proof and structure mean it will stay bold and complex for years after opening.
Interesting Fact O.F.T.D. was developed by Plantation’s Alexandre Gabriel alongside legendary bartenders including Jeff “Beachbum” Berry and Martin Cate. The final name, cheekily chosen after the first tasting, originally stood for “Oh F*** That’s Delicious.”
