Close match 01
Planteray Original Dark Rum Barbados & Jamaica
Planteray Original Dark Rum / Barbados & Jamaica
Planteray (Plantation) · The Whisky Exchange

40% ABV. A Caribbean blend finished in France at Cognac Ferrand's cellars — approachable, smooth and mellow with notes of dark fruit, vanilla and gentle oak spice. Like Three Barrels, this rum carries a genuine French fingerprint — the Caribbean distillate is shipped to France for final maturation in Cognac Ferrand's cellars, where tight-grained French oak softens and rounds the spirit beautifully. The result is that same accessible, easy-drinking character you enjoy from Three Barrels, but with a touch more Caribbean warmth. If you like the way Three Barrels sits comfortably neat or with a simple mixer, you'll feel right at home here. It's designed to be approachable and versatile, with enough complexity to reward sipping but never demanding it.

Close match 02
Trois Rivières Ambre Rum
Trois Rivières Doublewood Ambre Rum
Trois Rivières · The Whisky Exchange

A golden rhum agricole from Martinique, France's Caribbean heartland. Extremely approachable, with fresh sugar cane aromas, subtle vanilla and classic agricole warmth. Three Barrels Rare French Rum draws on France's spirits tradition, and Trois Rivières Ambre takes you straight to the French Caribbean source — Martinique, where rhum agricole is produced under strict French AOC regulations. The amber resting in oak gives it that same gentle, rounded, golden character that makes Three Barrels so enjoyable. You'll find this a natural step up in authenticity: still very easy drinking, still very much in the French spirits world, but with vivid fresh cane character underneath the soft oak that makes it feel more alive in the glass.

Wildcard pick 03
Diplomatico Mantuano
Diplomatico Mantuano Single Modernist Rum
Diplomatico · The Whisky Exchange

40% ABV. A rich, rounded Venezuelan rum blended from pot and column still spirits — silky smooth with sweet fruitiness, stone fruit and a gentle, warming finish. This is your wildcard detour — Venezuela rather than France, but the same smooth, mellow, oak-aged sipping philosophy that drew you to Three Barrels. Diplomatico's master blenders have crafted something that prioritises comfort and approachability above all else, with that signature silky mouthfeel. Where Three Barrels keeps things light and clean, Mantuano dials up the richness and sweetness just a notch, making it feel more indulgent. If you've ever wanted to explore what happens when that easy-drinking style gets a little more tropical depth and body, this is exactly where to go.
