Planteray Original Dark Rum (formerly known as Plantation Original Dark) is a highly acclaimed, budget-friendly, double-aged rum blended from Barbados and Jamaica. Renowned for its rich structure and complexity, it is widely considered an exceptional mixing rum for tropical and classic cocktails.
The brand officially phased out the "Plantation" name globally in early 2024 to become Planteray, though the juice inside the bottle remains exactly the same.
Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intense aromas of molasses, baked cherry, plum, black peppercorn, clove, and cinnamon.
- Palate: An off-dry entry featuring vanilla, white raisins, and dried pineapple that transitions into a mid-palate rich with cooked banana, toffee, and brown sugar.
- Finish: A slightly dry, spicy finish layered with black tea, dark fruit, and a subtle touch of smoky "hogo" (traditional Jamaican rum funk).
