Yo ho ho! Rum's long and rebellious history is well-documented, and while old businesses like Mount Gay Rum (from the 18th century) continue to crank out popular drinks, the spirit of piracy and swashbuckling has inspired newcomers such as Wellington's own Smoke & Oakum to produce a whole new category of old-fashioned rums.

The essence of Plantation Rum Original Dark is the wealth of its palate and its technique of double aging. Plantation Original Dark comprises the elegant rums of Trinidad which are distilled then aged in their tropical climate in the Caribbean in American oak barrels under high heat before traveling to France. Once in Europe, the House cellar master decides on less “high esters” for the Trinidadian rum and blends in old rums from Jamaica (15 - 20 yrs.) This end result finishes like sweet nectar but also adapts beautifully to classic cocktails made with dark rum such as the Mai Tai or Daiquiri.

This blend ages first in Bourbon casks in its native tropical setting before crossing the sea to Chateau Bonbonnet in France.
