This one is a blend of rum from Guyana at 75,5%.
There’s as far as I know two older versions of the Overproof.
The oldest on with a blue label at 75% is a blend of rum from Guyana and Trinidad.
Thereafter they released a green label at 75% with a blend of rum from Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados which I believe went quite short lived.
In nose as well as on the palate and during the rather long finish the burnt Demerara sugar dominates, but it’s also possible to detect toffee and hints fruits and coffee. Besides this it’s quite spicy with some sweetness.
Overall I think it’s balanced and smooth. The big difference between this one and the Green Label 75% is that the Demerara impacts even more and that it’s a little bit less round in taste.
Picture: My opened bottle of Select Aged 151 together with the Blue Label Overproof in my private rum bar.
