Nice burn and fruits, take this or the original and you are prepared for the next pain in life.

In spite of the strength of alcohol, this rum has a flavor, so that means for the maximum rating 7.

I normally enjoy overproof rums, and this one is not bad at all. But it can't really justify its high percentage, as the taste is no that complex.

The smell is very spicy, the alcohol bites you in the nose.
It's sweet, I get burned sugar, caramel, molasses and some ripe banana, also other ripe fruits.
In the background is some earth and a musty demerara note. With dilution it turns more earthy.

The taste starts with sweetness and demerara notes. Added sugar I think.
I get burned sugar and molasses, it turns very spicy. Then some honey and bitter notes.
In the middle I get more of the burned sugar, molasses and some fruits like in Jamaica OFTD. But they are overlapped by the sweetness. Then some honey of demerara rum and the spice.

It's too sweet in my opinion. Also very spicy, but this is not the problem.
I would rate it with 67 points.

Nose: burned sugar, caramel, molasses, ripe bananas and other fruits, earth, musty demerara note
Taste initial: burned sugar, molasses, spice, honey, some ripe banana, some bitter notes
Middel: burned sugar, molasses, some fruits, sweetness, honey, spice
Finish: spice, burned sugar, molasses, honey

Sweetness: 3/5
Fruits: 2/5
Spice: 5/5
Mildness: 1/5
Complexity: 2.5/5
Value (30€): 2/5

Very strong, almost undrinkable, but I found it very tasty mixed with tea or Coca cola. I am not joking.

nicked from the Uk navy, caramel hints with a thing of whiskey going on in the background, it's high ABV makes sure you know you've had a drink, very pleasant on ice, extremely nice with apple....a very good drink...

Overproof 75%abv blend of Trininad, Virgin Islands and Guyana
Nose: traditional Pussers template, toasted dark sugar, caramel, vanilla
Taste: same as above, bit buttery, much lighter in flavor and profile than the (Guyana) Gunpowder
Finish: Spicy, hot, quite dry, light oak, pleasant bitterness, some cola aroma

Decent enough but if you are looking for that Pussers or demerara taste then Gunpowder is much better rum, this is blander, lighter, just higher proof.
Remains bit of a novelty bottling, the Plantation o.f.t.d is also less harsh and more full bodied.

The color is fine, the smell is ok, the taste was far better then expected. I´m starting to enjoy the overproofs.
