About this product

Back in the Age of Sail, the rum was rich, flavorful and strong. It had to be, because nobody was going to hand it out to sailors without first turning it into punch, or at least cutting it with water, and the rum had to be able to stand up to that. Planetary O.F.T.D. Overproof Rum is our take on that classic style. And not just ours: to join him on the quest to get the blend and the proof just right, our award winning Master Blender, Alexandre Gabriel, scoured rum-joints around the world to find six grizzled old salts who knew which end of a rum-bottle was which. Together they came up with this blend of Guyana, Jamaica and Barbados rums, bottled at (just to be on the safe side) a full 12 degrees overproof, according to the way they used to measure these things in the Royal Navy. Tasting Notes Color: Rich red mahogany Noss: Intense and very precise notes of coffee, orange, plum, jarn and truffles. Taste: It bursts with caramel cream, chocolate and vanilla notes. It continues on with cinnamon, raisins, nutmeg, oak and mo-lasses with smoky accents. Final: Long and lingering with dark chocolate, clove and caramel. Empty Glass: Rich Demerara molasses notes, oak and plum.

About the brand

A Voyage of Discovery The waters were poorly charted, the winds treacherous, and a rocky lee shore threatened the careless and unhandy. Fortunately, Captain Gabriel - a Frenchman and a brave one - had a good crew, not a lubber among them. Scotty Schuder, a Parisian sort of Yankce, led the foc'sle gang. Paul McFadyen from London Town and Paul "the Beard from Chicago" McGee looked to the guns, 18-pounders all. Martin Cate from old Yerba Buena boxed the compass. Jeff "the Bum" Berry, who hails from New Orleans and knows these latitudes better than any man alive, manned the helm while the chaplain, Dr. David Wondrich, mumbled his prayers and called for punch. Now, punch needs rum. The crew scraped together what was left on board, poured it together in a jug, passed it around to taste and cried as one, "O F T D!"
