I am not a huge fan of most over proof alcohols, mostly burn, a fast drink and limited flavor. The Plantation Overproof OFTD is very different staring with the nose. There is a burn but it is not the dominant player when holding it up. Many different scents come to you and set the expectation for things to come.
There is a burn to the first sip or two but as you continue to sip you begin to get many different flavors coming to your tongue, a very different yet pleasant tasting experience . It is nice to see an overproof anything that you can sip, not just shoot.
Mixed it is marvelous taking away some of that bite and expanding the flavors. A real treat as you try to guess the flavors that are coming out. Works great with Coke, ginger ale and citrus, equally tasty with all.
Have not blended with this yet but know it will be great as a float and with other rums in many a tiki cocktail.
Another addition to my permanent selection from Plantation.

This rum is definitely overproof but absurdly smooth and drinkable for 68%. It packs so much deep flavor rather than alcohol burn, with a strong bite that compliments the flavors instead of overwhelming them

I’d have this in any form: neat, with a mixer, in a cocktail. Very difficult to over shadow this bombshell of a drink!

You can mix it with something and it will still be a killer. Taste is standard Plantation-style...

An overproof rum that taste amazing is a scary thing. It’s great to mix or sip VERY slowly. You don’t need much so it’s an excellent value.

Can it compete with the trusty lemon hart 151? Yes! In fact, this is sippable... mind you, you’ll get messed right up...

sure I do not need to review around that is so highly acclaimed. Has a nice thick dark color and a fantastic taste so many delicious types of molasses and dark flavoring. you just have to be careful as the high percentage that sneak up on you.

This is a strong manly rum, it is excellent as an addition to any rum and coke and gives you a full mouth flavor of deliciousness. Great Tiki Rum and goes well as an addition to any rum drink for an extra boost.
It’s very intense, almost sickly sweet.
"It’s a sweet yet almost bitter, molasses heavy nose."

Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Without question this is aimed at the tiki resurgence that has steadily been picking up steam. Really whats not to like about tiki as long as it's not exclusive. Yeah,,,,, well as with anything retro especially those things dealing in specific styles, some folks dive in head first and others see ways to turn a profit. There's no telling to what ends an obsessed time traveler will spend in order to out do their fellow club members. Fortunately everyone benefits from such escapism, at least in this case we all do.
If you love funky estery dunder rum such as Smith and Cross to the point that you consider it a fine sipper, as I, but sometimes wish it had a bit more smoke and more molasses.... this may just get you there. By every account of the marketing jargon it's primary target will have you floating it in a delicious concoction. BUT WAIT! it ain't a bad sipper, though I do get a nagging bit of sacrine in the finish. Not so mach as to be a deal breaker by any means. Really what can you ask for in a 69% abv dark full liter bottle of rum priced at $30? I didn't expect this much so I'm happy.
BTW on the label they have lovingly supplied us with a nose and flavor profile just to the right of the R. Crumb like profile illustrations depicting those involved in this achievement. I'd say they left out a huge dose of black licorice. But hey that just my palate.
