Plantation O.F.T.D. (Old Fashioned Traditional Dark): Overproof Alliance
Overproof 69% ABV ABV Maison Ferrand (blended from Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana)
6 March 2026
Impressive but intense
The flavour density is remarkable — dark chocolate, molasses, coffee, banana — but at 69% ABV it's a lot to handle even for experienced rum drinkers. Best used as a cocktail ingredient rather than a sipper. A half-measure in a drink is plenty.

Incredible value for what it is
A blend of overproof rums from three legendary rum-producing countries, at 69% ABV, for this price? The value is extraordinary. The dark chocolate, molasses, coffee, and banana notes are rich and complex. Use it in place of any dark rum in cocktails and prepare to be amazed.

Bartender-designed brilliance

Three countries, one masterpiece
Jamaica brings the funk and banana, Guyana brings the dark molasses depth, Barbados brings the smoothness and balance. Blended at 69% ABV, Plantation OFTD is a rum of extraordinary power and complexity. Dark chocolate, coffee, tropical fruit, and a finish that lasts for minutes. A modern classic.

69% that drinks like 50%
The remarkable thing about OFTD is how smooth it is for 69% ABV. The dark chocolate, molasses, and coffee notes are so rich and full that they mask the alcohol beautifully. The Jamaican component brings banana and funk, the Guyanese adds weight, the Barbadian brings smoothness. Genius blend.

The ultimate cocktail rum
Plantation OFTD does something magical in cocktails. The 69% ABV means a standard measure delivers enormous flavour — dark chocolate, molasses, banana, coffee, and a rich funkiness — without the harshness you'd expect. My Dark and Stormy, Mai Tai, and Rum Punch have never been better.

Old Fashioned Traditional Dark indeed
A collaboration between Plantation and some of the world's best bartenders, and it shows. This blend of overproof rums from Jamaica, Guyana, and Barbados at 69% ABV is astonishingly flavourful — dark chocolate, molasses, banana, coffee, and a rich, oily mouthfeel. Intense but brilliantly balanced.
