Marti Plata Rum
Marti Plata Rum is a 40% ABV (80-proof), 750mL white Panamanian rum — "plata" means silver in Spanish, and this is the white-rum entry of the Marti line. It is made from estate-grown cane at the Ingenio Las Cabras distillery in Herrera, Panama, fermented with the estate's proprietary pineapple-skin yeast, in the same dry (<5 g/L sugar) style as the rest of the line. Order online from Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Marti's White Rum, Estate Style
Most white rums are built to disappear; Marti's Plata is built to show up. The same Herrera estate cane and pineapple-skin yeast behind the aged expressions, kept clean and dry at under 5 g/L sugar — a white rum with texture and character that holds its own in a daiquiri instead of hiding in it. It earned Bronze and Recommended at the 2020 Beverage Testing Institute, and among white rums it is one of the few with a genuine estate story.
Tasting Notes
Vanilla bean, cane sugar, and citrusy mango up front, with hints of key lime pie and earthy ripeness midpalate; a whisper of oak and campfire on the finish, with a notably full texture for a white rum.
How to Enjoy
The dry profile makes it a natural daiquiri and mojito base — and it stands up in a pina colada without turning the drink syrupy. Great over ice with lime.
