Plantation O.F.T.D. Overproof Rum
Plantation O.F.T.D. Rum is Plantation Rum's take on that classic style of overproof rums. To join him on the quest to get the blend and the proof just right, Alexandre Gabriel, the president of Maison Ferrand, scoured rum joints around the world to find six grizzled old salts who knew which end of a rum bottle was which. Together they came up with this blend of Guyana, Jamaica and Barbados rums, bottled at 69 percent alcohol.
O.F.T.D. officially stands for Old Fashioned Traditional Dark, but if you ask any of the seven collaborators who were in the room when this blend was born, they’ll tell you it really stands for something else that was exclaimed when the winning rum was tasted…
NOSE
Intense and very precise notes of coffee, orange, plum, jam and truffles.
PALATE
It bursts with caramel cream, chocolate and vanilla notes. It continues on with cinnamon, raisins, nutmeg, oak and molasses with smoky accents.
RESULT
Long and lingering with dark chocolate, clove and caramel.
69% ABV
