Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

very good for cocktails

I feel it's good to have some overproof rum in the collection for home blending 69% ABV
Paid £35 2021 I own a bottle and only rate what I have bought
Love this Brand they really make an effort they make one of the best pineapple rums Which will have it's use's and is worth having in stock in summer months

Best Rum. Great neat for the Strength. Loaded with strong over ripe banana ester flavors. My favorite for a dark and stormy

This Plantation OFTD Overproof with 69% vol. is the evidence that you can have an excellent rum at a very competitive price.
Seeing it in the local supermarket for only 19,90€, I thought I would give it a try and my expectations were low. But what a surprise when opening it: the smell that comes to your nose is very pleasant and sweet, not what you would expect of a rum with that high alcohol content. For the smell and the taste I agree with most of the other users. Very nice notes of dried fruits like rosins, caramel and chocolate. It brings heat to your mouth and stays for a while. To make it more digest, add a few drops of water or an ice cube.
I would even go so far as to compare it to the Ron Esclavo XO Cask. The big difference is that you get the Plantation for the third of the price.

Outstanding blended overproof rum. Perhaps the best or even better alternative for the hardly available (in europe) Lemon Hart 151. Great for tiki drinks. One of few Plantation rums without added sugar.

I like this as a rum option for my homemade falernum to contribute a little flavor beyond my base recipe.

Komplex rom med tydliga toner av arrak och torkade frukter. Funkar som mixer eller ren om den får lufta lite.

This is to date the only Overproof I've tried, but it is delightful. I really like this one. It has notes of overripe bananas, demerara sugar, molasses, some spicy notes. Great to mix and works wonders in tiki drinks.

A specialized overproof rum that not many would use as a sipper. This is made for cocktails. But I did initially evaluate it straight up and then with some added water.

The nose is intense and immediately enjoyable: molasses, orange oil, and spice. With water added, some Jamaican funk is discernible. The palate (with added water) is smooth and rich, a touch sweet, with Demerara sugar, pastry, and a strawberry jam note on exit before the medium-length finish.

I’m not much of a cocktail person, but I could see using this flavourful rum in a punch, or as a spike in Christmas eggnog. It’s good!

Tried at the Plantation tasting event. Was shocked at how easy it was to drink at this proof. Shows what the extra aging can do to help mellow over proof rums. Won’t be waiting in line to purchase but glad I tried it.

Den overproof fra plantation egner sig bedst til cocktail. Jeg syntes den mangler en del på finish
