Planteray Original Dark Rum 750ml

Return to rum's roots with Planteray Original Dark, a tribute to the traditional dark rums that built the category's reputation worldwide. Under the historic Planteray name, this classic expression continues to deliver the rich, molasses-forward profile that defined rum for generations, while incorporating modern quality standards and blending expertise. The result is a dark rum that honors tradition while meeting contemporary expectations for smoothness and complexity.

The 'Original Dark' designation signals this rum's commitment to classic flavor profiles. The nose opens with rich aromas of molasses, dark brown sugar, and caramel, creating an immediately inviting bouquet. Traditional rum notes of vanilla, tropical fruit, and gentle spice provide complexity, while hints of coffee, dark chocolate, and toasted oak add depth. Unlike modern rums that might hide behind heavy dosing or artificial flavors, this expression lets quality ingredients and careful aging speak for themselves.

On the palate, Original Dark delivers the satisfying richness that made dark rum a global favorite. The initial taste brings waves of molasses sweetness balanced by oak tannins and gentle spice. Classic rum flavors unfold in layers - butterscotch, banana bread, dried tropical fruits, and warm baking spices create a comforting yet complex profile. The texture is full and coating without being heavy or cloying, delivering flavor that satisfies without overwhelming. Mid-palate reveals additional notes of toffee, roasted nuts, and a subtle smokiness that adds interest. The finish is warm and lingering, with molasses, spice, and oak notes that fade slowly and pleasantly. This is dark rum as it was meant to be - rich enough for sipping, versatile enough for classic cocktails, and authentic enough to satisfy purists. Whether floated on a Mai Tai, mixed into a Dark 'n' Stormy, or enjoyed neat as generations have done before, Planteray Original Dark connects modern drinkers to rum's storied past while delivering quality worthy of its heritage name.
