Spirits Master: Plantation Original Dark
As the rum category continues to grow in popularity, we put the spotlight on the award-winning Plantation Original Dark.
Plantation Original Dark is produced by Maison Ferrand
Every week, SB celebrates some of the top scoring Master medallists from The Global Spirits Masters blind-tasting competitions as part of our Spirits Masters series.
Master medallist Plantation Original Dark stormed to success in The Rum & Cachaça Masters 2019 as one of only eight rums to grab the top accolade.
The blind-tasting competition took place at The Rum Kitchen Carnaby in London in February, and saw the breadth of the category come under the scrutiny of four judging panels.
Plantation Original Dark impressed with its “pot still, spicy character” and “balanced sweet notes” in the Dark Rum – Premium round.
The 40% abv expression is a blend of rums from Barbados and Jamaica, which have been married in a wooden vat for three to six months.
Produced by Maison Ferrand, the rum has been designed to be more approachable and suitable for use in cocktails.
