Good rum for cocktails or only with cola but not too much. Also possile to sip pure (small sips).
Powerfull, but drinkable neat. miss some age for me but very affordable. A good mixer i think.
Un plantation c'est déjà un gage de qualité. Ce OFTD est puissant et agréable a la fois. Une attaque douce épicé puissante et chaleureuse. Un final long et liquoreux qui reste sur la langue. C'est un petit bonbon mais attention il tabasse!
Amazing, how this overproof rum changes characteristics when adding some drops of water. From quite strong with some Jamaican funk over toffee/caramel to more fruity notes. All that for half the price of some “leading brands”…
Very good overproof rum. Full of flavours and aromas. Great choice when the cocktails need it and for shots as well
Smell is nothing special, classic rum. Taste is something else....fruit, caramel and some wood but stay only for second, after that start some warm from throat and nice end.
From overproof rums is this on in the better top. maybe 60-65% will be enough, but still good drink for great price. 8/10
Here was my first review: “Mere words cannot convey what it is like to drink this rum—but I will try. It is an overproof rum, and you’d be hard pressed to miss it. The heat hits you fast, but not unpleasantly; for all that, you still get strong molasses and dark caramel right at the front. Tasty. Once it mellows out a bit, you get into raisins, candied bitter orange peel, coffee, chocolate, and some burnt sugar. On the back end, it leaves your mouth warm and (slightly) dry, with an impression of baking spice. This stuff is entirely too drinkable, and for the price point, maybe the best in its category. One of my favorites to date. Utterly delicious.”
Now the Edit: Learned that Plantation adds some sugar to this, and some of their other rums. I don’t mind, they still taste great, but thought it should be mentioned. May compare this in the future with a similar overproof / navy style to see which I like better (I do love my smith and cross). If you’re not into added sugar, you may want to look elsewhere. Downgraded from a 9 to an 8.
It is fairly delicious and it's amazing you can sip it at 69%. But for me it's mostly a float
Neat, there is a lot of some flavor up front, I can't identify, then it drifts off. Almost a bit of almonds or marzapan, something. It's clean in the end. That is OK but not always what I want to sip, personally. I do think you can get a nice other-level buzz sipping it like with moonshine. Like the chronic, of alcohol.
Can't always identify the flavors and smells, myself. There is some smoke etc. but it's all sort of melted together which is fine. A little tannins maybe, sharp... not extreme.
Not much to add here. It's overproof and it tastes like overproof. Not the "I'm gonna tear your insides"proof, just overproof.
Sec c'est pas forcément top. Mais en cocktail c'est excellent.
It’s very intense, almost sickly sweet.
"It’s a sweet yet almost bitter, molasses heavy nose."
Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Honestly I'm not really into overproof rums. I've tried several and most of them are like extremely potent hot sauces (something else of which I am a connoisseur)...all burn and little to no flavor.
So normally I stay away from them.
I started reading about this rum several months ago and it intrigued me. Especially since it comes from one of my favorite brands. So when I came across it at a store in Jacksonville (can't get it locally) I decided to get a bottle to try.
I was not disappointed.
Let me summarized thusly....excellent flavor but kicks like a bionic mule.
This is a dark rum. Deep, deep toffee amber. Nothing light about this. Of course the O.F.T.D. stands for "old fashioned traditional dark". Definitely a dark rum. No doubt about it.
Has an excellent aroma with a little sting...forewarning of what is to come.
Took me a few sips to get some of a flavor profile because in each sip, once the taste buds detected something, my throat and tongue got a sound thrashing from the 69% ABV (138 proof).
However some of what came across is an initial sweetness...a marked molasses sweetness. It almost was a fiery syrup. Although an overproof, it has a surprising smoothness to it even though there is a strong...not exactly a "burn" per se...but a marked extreme warmth that stays with you for quite a while. I think this would be a sipping rum for the hardcore but for the rest of us this rum would work well in boat drinks. If I remember, I will come back to this later on in my usual Coke Zero & rum combo (which is my normal concoction at home) and amend my review (see below). There is also a creaminess to it as well as a brief cinnamon and vanilla taste to it as well. Some caramel seems to be present as an undertone.
Overall, I have to say this is a recommendable overproof best suited for those rum punches that need a little extra punch. Definitely a good go-to rum for cocktails. Also, reading the label is entertaining as well (although I honestly cannot figure out how they manage to come up with all those intricate flavor profiles...oh, well...I am, at best, an amateur offering my personal measly opinion).
ADDENDUM 4/4/2017: This works exceedingly well in Coke Zero. One must be a little more cautious in how much one adds to the Coke Zero but the flavors mesh quite well. Delicious.
