Planteray Rum O.F.T.D. is a dark, bold 69% ABV overproof rum designed with cocktails in mind—especially tiki and other rum-forward drinks where the spirit needs to hold its shape against ice, citrus, and spice. O.F.T.D. officially stands for Old Fashioned Traditional Dark, and it was developed in collaboration between Planteray/Maison Ferrand and a group of well-known rum and cocktail figures. The idea was straightforward: a no-compromise “old-school” dark rum profile, built with modern precision and balance.
The blend combines rums from Jamaica, Guyana, and Barbados, creating a layered style: Jamaican fruit and spice, Guyanese molasses depth and darker structure, and Bajan roundness and elegance. In the glass it’s dense and aromatic, commonly showing brown sugar, molasses, dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit, vanilla, and warming spices. Despite the high proof, it often feels remarkably cohesive, which is why it works so well both neat and in mixed drinks.
How to use it
In cocktails: ideal for high-impact serves like Mai Tai riffs, Zombie-style drinks, rum punches, and dark highballs.
Neat: try a small splash of water— it opens the aromatics and adds nuance to the spice.
Measuring: at 69% ABV, you can often use a smaller pour than standard-strength rum and still get plenty of intensity.
