The Original Recipe Story
Where It All Began: The O.G. was our founder Sharon Tay's first successful boozy gelato. After 47 failed attempts, batch #48 achieved the perfect balance of alcohol, creaminess, and flavor.
Why OFTD?: Planteray OFTD (Old Fashioned Traditional Dark) is a 69% ABV overproof rum blending the best of Guyana, Jamaica, and Barbados. Its complexity creates depth impossible with single rums.
The Legend Grows: From day one, The O.G. has been our best seller. Customers who try everything always come back to this classic.
Planteray OFTD Excellence
Three-Rum Power:
Guyanese rum: Adds depth and richness
Jamaican rum: Brings tropical fruit notes
Barbadian rum: Provides smooth finish
Overproof Advantage: Starting with 69% ABV rum means more flavor compounds survive the freezing process, creating unprecedented rum presence at our 5% ABV target.
The 48-Hour Secret: Our raisins soak for exactly 48 hours. 47 is too little, 49 is too much. We've tested. Extensively.
Why It’s Still The Best
Unmatched Consistency: Two years and hundreds of batches later, The O.G. remains unchanged. When you nail perfection, you don't mess with it.
The Benchmark: Every new flavor we create is compared to The O.G. It sets our standard for balance,texture, and satisfaction.
Customer Loyalty: We have customers who've eaten The O.G. weekly since we opened. That's over 250 scoops of dedication!
