With some water, it opened up and revealed a nice palet of fruit

I can't sipping this but in a Mia Tia or an old fashion this baby shined.. it has a unique after taste I can't seem to figure out.. pair with artisan 3 star plantation rum and simple sugar with a citrus fruit and a splash of cola it really gets you where you're going.

Unlike Plantation's 73% ABV Original Dark Overproof comprised solely of Trinidad rums, O.F.T.D. (Old Fashioned Traditional Dark) is a new 69% ABV blend of rums from Jamaica, Guayana and Barbados. It tastes of burnt caramel, dark molasses and has a smokiness not usually found in rums. While this wouldn't be my first choice for a sipper, I think it will become an indispensable staple for the tiki repertoire.

I've been scared of overpoof rums because of Wray & Nephew and Smith & Cross. I love them, but they are strong and funky and I rarely use more than half an ounce in my cocktails. This rum is just straight delicious, and dangerous at this proof. Plantation Original Dark is one of my standard mixers. I expected this to be that with just the proof (read ethanol) dialed up, but the flavor is also dialed up proportionally. Wow.

Surprisingly smooth for an overprooof! Orange, dark chocolate and caramel on the nose and taste. Very long finish.

You won't drink much))) The eyes immediately round up. After the 1st glass, I want to stop and feel the aftertaste and smell the aroma. A complex and interesting rum without added sugar. .,.,.,.,. В аромате чернослив, спирт, дерево, при разбавлении появляется фруктовость. Во вкусе сочетаются сладость, кислотность, терпкость и горечь не доминирует. Нет добавленного сахара. Послевкусие приятное. Много не выпьешь - глаза сразу округляются от такой крепости. В разбавленном виде идёт хорошо. Купил в Минске, жаль, что только одну, этот ром однозначно стоит своих небольших денег.

It's just not my cup of tea. I don't like the Jamaican funk. This is the most funky Rum I've ever tasted.
Undrinkable.
Very complex, but young. Makes me think of a Foursquare ECS that's really rough around the edges.

I love using this one in cocktails, but it’s surprisingly palatable neat, too. Obviously the 69% alcohol are most noticeable, otherwise something would be off. But it doesn’t taste like just drinking ethanol, there’s definitely some deep flavors in there, for me most noticeably caramel. Fantastic in cocktails, just don’t go too overboard on the pour.

This bad boy is one of the best dark overproof rums on the market hands down. My favorite to float on any rum drink.

Very solid alternative to lemon hart 151 and a must tiki mixer

Dark overproof blend consisting of Jamaica, Guyana and Barbados rums. This rum has very interesting history involving the developing group consisting of the most respected tiki bartenders including Martin Cate, and also cocktail historian David Wondrich who was also involved in making the excellent Plantation pineapple.
Nose: strong cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet tropical fruit.
Taste: Strong cinnamon clove and nutmeg, vanilla and light oak. Dark slightly charred molasses.
Demerara rum flavours dominate this overproof blend, jamaican and barbados flavours are just complimentary elements on the taste.
Finish: spicy, quite dry and lightly oaky lots of kick when sipped neat but no alcohol.
From what i have read this rum doesnt have any added sugar in it so extra points for that.
It can be sipped on its own even though it isnt aged(for long at least), has plenty of strong spicy demerara goodness flavour in it.
Is amazing in tiki cocktails. You could replace the cornerstone lemon hart 151(which is almost impossible to find) with this overproof.
Extremely recommended for tiki lovers.
