PLANTERAY ORIGINAL DARK RUM 750ML

Plantation Original Dark Rum 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile
  • A sophisticated blend from the Caribbean: predominantly Barbados column still rums and pot-still Jamaican rums, then double-aged—first tropical ageing in the Caribbean, then a second maturation in medium-toasted French oak barrels in France.
  • Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). 
  • Flavor profile: rich molasses and dark sugar character, aromas of baked cherry, prune, black pepper, clove and molasses; palate features vanilla, banana or cooked plantain, spice and mature oak finish. 

• Menu Versatility
  • Serve neat or on a large ice cube for premium sipping—ideal for guests exploring dark rum craft.
  • Fantastic base for premium rum cocktails: dark-rum Old Fashioned, rum Manhattan, or upscale tiki builds where depth and complexity shine.
  • Works well in rum flights (e.g., “Entry → Premium → Ultra-Premium”) and special feature menus highlighting “double ageing” or “Barbados & Jamaica blend”.

• Operational Efficiency
  • Standard 750 mL bottle fits existing spirits inventory, rail and back-bar setup with no conversion required.
  • Strong brand story: blending from Barbados & Jamaica, double-ageing in French oak—easy to train staff and create a narrative for sell-through.
  • Versatile service profile (neat, ice, cocktail base) makes it appropriate across different shifts—dinner service, lounge hours, premium drinkers—reducing risk of slow movement.

• Profit Potential
  • Positioned above standard dark rum offerings—supports higher by-the-glass pricing and broader margin lift.
  • Menu messaging: emphasise “double-aged”, “Barbados & Jamaica blend”, “rich molasses & oak” to justify premium placement.
  • Encourage upsell: when guest orders a standard dark rum, staff can suggest Plantation Original Dark as a “premium dark rum upgrade”.
  • Good candidate for “signature cocktail” feature or bottle-service/high-end pour in lounge context to drive check average.
