Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Of course this is meant for mixing, but it's still delicious. This is a beast.
I prefer others for sipping, but this is still a killer bottle.

With the densest flavors of Jamaica Barbados and Guyana, and at 69% you can use this Rum for just about any drink for any occasion. It checks a lot of boxes and I consider this a good bang for your buck.

Tastes great! You can cut the proof by adding less intense rums, or let it sit on its own.

Again. A very versatile rum.

Rhum très original, avec une certaine acidité, mais je ne parviens pas encore à l'utiliser convenablement en cocktail.

OFTD is one decent rum! I love it straight up or with full fat Coke / ginger (Bundy ginger is best). First had it in Bahrain...of all places! Makes a v.decent dark n stormy. Great for a rum hit to cool those nerves or just as wake up juice! Its a tad more expensive than a daily driver but it is overproof so you get what you get. OFTD is in my top 5 so far.... Still manh rums out there!

($44CAD) Well if you want a rum that hits back, this is the one. Initially purchased this to make rum balls (delicious), but I had to give it a go neat as well. I’ve been a fan of the plantation rums I’ve tried so far so I expected to like this one as well.
The aroma takes me back to the Stiggin Fancy bottle, in the best way. A bit of fumes coming off as well but not bad, considering the 69%ABV. Pineapple and coffee on the nose, very pleasant.
Plum and raisin rush to your palette with some fire not far behind. All kinds of goodness rest on your tongue as the fire fades away: wood, coffee, leather, tobacco but also dried fruits, pineapple, and toffee.
This rum ticks all the boxes: it’s readily available, decently priced, full character, has antiseptic properties and will keep you coming back for more.
Dark n stormy? Yessir! Mai tai? Yeap. Straight up? Hells yes. The value of this one is huge. A new staple.
Do yourself a favour and check this one out.

I get it. It's got more flavor than most, it's a great deal and in some ways it is good in cocktails - in that it totally dominates those cocktails. So if you like this overpowering flavor it will come through loud and clear in every cocktail. But it's still a bit too much for me, and like all cask strength of anything, finding the balance is tough. The nose is fantastic though... love the cherry note.

today i found a real good over proof, the hampden rum fire white over proof,
tried plantation over proof neat and i suspect that they loaded it with sugar ...
but even if not, they say rum is from many caribbean islands but unknown ones ...
sorry, don t like lack of transparency
from now hampden is my bar overproof, no more plantation !

The kick of this one is enormous, but the after taste is worth it. Literally an explosion of different taste notes

tried both neat, on ice and as a mixer. found it too strong to drink straight so i mixed it in drinks and it was just amazing.

A bit smoky and caramel notes… still had some hints of spice rum and heavy alcohol finish.
