Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D. [700ML]

Description

Looking for a rum that bridges the gap between sipping sophistication and cocktail versatility with authentic character?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I can confidently say that Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D. represents exceptional value in the Premium Rum category. This international blend showcases meticulous craftsmanship that rivals expressions like Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry, yet offers distinct versatility that sets it apart from standard options such as Bacardi Carta Blanca Superior White Rum. The “O.F.T.D.” designation signals a carefully composed blend from select international distilleries, creating complexity beyond single-origin rums.

• Region: International – Drawing from Caribbean and tropical rum-producing regions
• ABV: 40% – Balanced strength delivering flavor without overwhelming heat
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Tropical aging followed by continental maturation for depth

• Best Served: Room temperature in a tumbler neat, or chilled in classic rum cocktails

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression performs exceptionally well in both sipping and mixing applications—a rare versatility. After evaluating hundreds of rum expressions, this stands out for its remarkable balance at an accessible price point of RM 160.
