Planteray Original Dark Double Aged Rum is a rich, full-bodied Caribbean rum crafted from a blend of pot and column still rums from Trinidad and Jamaica. Aged first in the tropics in heavily charred American oak barrels, it is then shipped to Maison Ferrand in France for a second aging in Cognac casks, adding depth, spice, and complexity. This “double aging” process creates a versatile dark rum with bold flavor and smooth texture—ideal for both sipping and craft cocktails.
