I recommend the Plantation O.F.T.D 69% and a real explosion of flavours a really great overproof

I just had Tres Hombres Captain's Choice 2015 21-Year - it's 62.9% and really nice

I have agree with Andy. Tres Hombres Captain's Choice is the best I've tried at over 55%, though I suspect I'll also really like the Ron Esclavo XO Cask given that I rated the Esclavo XO a 10.

McArt, what kind of rum are you looking for? There are some fine white agricoles at that abv, as well as the overproofs mentioned, and a host of cask-strength bottlings from various countries.

I just tried the Ron Esclavo XO Cask, and it is EASILY the best +55% rum I've ever had. In fact, it's one of the best rums I've ever had period, regardless of strength! It's a bit sweet, but that's one of the reasons why I like it so much!!!

Smith & Cross navy strength, 57% , Jamaican with a lot going on in this bottle. Definitely not a sweet rum.. Graham.

Depends what you want it for. If for sipping, I'd go with YHMC and go for the Foursquare 2004 @ 59%. If you need something to clean your computer keyboard then Bacardi 151.
