OFTD began as a challenge: create an overproof rum worthy of the legendary tiki bartenders who shaped modern rum culture. Planteray brought together some of the world’s top rum experts, locked them in a room, and told them not to leave until perfection was bottled. Opening OFTD feels like striking a match in a dark bar, heat, spice, and raw island energy roaring to life.

Planteray OFTD Overproof
Brand: Planteray | Category: Overproof Dark Rum | ABV: 69% | Origin: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Bold molasses, dark chocolate, burnt sugar, banana, clove, and smoky tropical spice, like stepping into a rum warehouse filled with warm oak and caramelized fruit.
Palate: Intense, rich, and unapologetically powerful. Layers of dark caramel, overripe banana, baking spice, coffee, cocoa, and smoky molasses hit with explosive depth. Despite the proof, the texture stays surprisingly smooth, with Jamaica’s funk, Guyana’s richness, and Barbados’ balance shining through.
Finish: Long, fiery, and deeply flavorful. Spice, molasses, oak, and dark fruit linger with a slow, smoldering fade.

Production Details:
OFTD, Old Fashioned Traditional Dark, is a blend of rums from three powerhouse regions: Barbados for structure, Guyana for weight and molasses depth, and Jamaica for high-ester tropical intensity. The blend is bottled at a commanding 69%, giving bartenders serious power and flavor while maintaining a crafted, premium profile.

Perfect For:
Tiki nights, mixology sessions, house parties, or any moment demanding flavor that refuses to sit quietly. It’s the ideal base for Mai Tais, Zombies, and bold tropical cocktails that need muscle and complexity.

Expert Notes:
OFTD is considered one of the world’s best modern overproof rums. Mixologists praise it for its depth, balance, and ability to elevate cocktails without getting lost. Even at 69%, it delivers refinement instead of raw heat.

Customer Reviews:
“Insane flavor. Dark, rich, and perfect for tiki cocktails.”
“Strong but beautifully smooth. My go-to overproof.”
“Transforms every drink. The aroma alone is worth the price.”

Interesting Fact:
“OFTD” originally stood for something unprintable, the reaction shouted when the expert panel tasted the final blend. The official name was softened later, but the spirit’s intensity stayed untouched.

Serving Suggestions:
Use in bold cocktails where deep molasses and spice can shine. For sipping, add a splash of water to open the layers. In a Zombie or Mai Tai, it delivers unmatched power and character.
