Woody aroma, quick sweet touch and then harsh peak. Decent tail

At first I was spewing fire, but then I mixed it with some ginger beer, and I was awestruck! Truly a fantastic choice!

The Plantation O.F.TD. is a really surprising rum.
We can drink it alone or in a cocktail. It’s a rum with a high alcohol content.
Despite a high alcohol content, it remains very fragrant.
In the mouth we smell wild exotic fruits, very ripe fruits, banana and papaya and of course caramel.
There is also an aftertaste of honey. I find this rum quite funky.
Great sipping or mixing rum. This is an excellent rum. Try it!!!

Overproof rums can be too much. Ie you have a few sip and then cant taste anything for days.
This one has depth, and whilst it does carry a Thor like punch, it also has layers of flavours.
The last one to sip, in a flight...

Caramel, toffee, vanilla, with warm spices and buttery notes on the tongue and a hell of a fiery burn. Perhaps a hint of hogo but not much. More well rounded than Lemonhart 151 but with a bit less burn. It will really make a great mixer for tiki drinks! I am toying with idea of including this in a rum blend of my own making…

For being 69% this rum is surprisingly smooth and does not taste like pure alcohol like many high percentage spirits. It has almost a sweet taste to it and can definitely distinguish it as a rum rather than just a high percentage bottle of booze. Now saying all that you definitely feel the burn when drinking. I do not recommend this neat to many but it's not awful. Overall my first foray into overproof rums has been a solid one.

Nice amber color. Good flavor. Slightly sweet. There's power at the finish. I didn’t think I could drink it so smoothly.

This is probably my favorite sipper so far. complex, strong and not too sweet. Due to high proof you may need to add some water to dilute it a bit. Haven't tested this in a cocktail yet but I believe it's gonna kick ass.

At first I thought that being overproof it would burn my mouth and my insides. Amazingly it was extremely smooth and so potent that the aftertaste lasted for a good hour! Rich plum flavours with burnt caramel and vanilla galore! I recommend you should pair it with some cold melon, the taste is out of this world!

It’s delicious as a sipper or a mixer. It’s delicious every time I smell or taste it. OFTD is a standout in the rum world with a unique balance of flavors and a firm presence of hogo funkiness that make it shine. One of my top 5!

Great Value......and for an over proof, quite a depth of flavor!

The nose is quite pleasant, not hot like one would expect. Caramel and molasses with warming alcohol. Fruity. The sweet aromas are subdued.
The flavor is a different ballgame! Very warming boarding on hot but low and behold a lot of flavor as well. Sweet molasses, hints of vanilla and oak. Not what I would call a sipper by any means but cut with water or on the rocks it may be considered by some. Not for the faint of heart in this context. Long softly bitter aftertaste that is quite enjoyable.
An excellent mixer when used in cocktails requiring an over proof rum. Plenty of pure rum character but not as hot or lacking in character as other readily available 'big name' over proof or '151' rums. I have yet to experience Hamilton 151 or Lemon Hart but these seem to be the only other over proofs that compare based on reviews.
If you're looking for a great over proof to use in 'tiki' drinks or other rum cocktails this is a great choice as it has great rum flavor and wonderful aromatics. For the price ($27 for a liter in Ohio-2019) it's hard to argue the value. A wholehearted thumbs up!
As an addendum the Plantation website stipulates 16 g/L dosage so it definitely has some sugar added. Not a sugar bomb by any means but I think it actually helps bring out the cursory aromatics that may be lost in the alcohol otherwise. I like the fact that Plantation is transparent in their dosage. It's not deceptive as in the case with other distiller/bottlers.
9/19- I find that like this on it's own more and more. A cube of ice is all it needs if you're looking for something big, bold and full of flavor give this a shot. Still, not for the faint of heart!
