Planteray OFTD Overproof Rum (138 Proof) 1000 ml

Planteray OFTD is a powerhouse overproof rum — bold, aromatic, and unapologetically intense. At 138 proof, it delivers explosive flavor while maintaining surprising balance, showcasing deep molasses richness, roasted spice, tropical fruit, and smoky caramel. Designed for bartenders and serious rum enthusiasts, it’s a must-have for high-impact cocktails and adventurous sipping.

Origins & Craftsmanship

OFTD (“Old Fashioned Traditional Dark”) is crafted as a collaborative blend inspired by historic navy-style rums. Multiple rum experts contributed to its flavor design, resulting in a high-strength, deeply layered profile.

The blend draws from several Caribbean rum regions known for rich, characterful distillation styles:

• Guyana – pot still depth, molasses richness, smoky edges

• Barbados – balanced, fruit-forward column and pot still smoothness

• Jamaica – estery funk, tropical fruit intensity

• Trinidad – clean structure and aromatic lift

Each rum is matured in its country of origin before being blended and bottled at an overproof 69% ABV (138 proof), preserving intensity, texture, and aromatic strength. OFTD is unashamedly bold, crafted in the style of traditional, full-bodied Caribbean dark rums beloved by tiki bartenders worldwide.

Critics Reviews

Professional rum commentators often refer to OFTD as one of the best overproof dark rums available, praising:

• Its exceptional flavor concentration

• Balance between heat, fruit, and spice

• Versatility in classic tiki cocktails, especially Zombies and Jet Pilots

• Remarkably smooth integration at very high proof

Critics consistently highlight its ability to deliver both raw power and nuanced complexity — a rare combination at this proof level.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Rich molasses, burnt sugar, smoked caramel, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla. Followed by tropical fruit notes — overripe banana, pineapple, and dark plum — with a hint of roasted nuts and cocoa.

Palate:
Explosive and full-bodied. Deep brown sugar, treacle, and dark toffee lead into waves of spice — allspice, nutmeg, and pepper — supported by dried fruit, plantain, charred oak, and subtle Jamaican funk. Despite its proof, the palate is rounded with impressive depth.

Finish:
Long, warm, and intense. Lingering molasses, dark spice, charred sugar, and tropical esters taper into a smoky, sweet, and powerful fade. Persistent and memorable.
