Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Mixer rum or a great sipper, use a bit of water though when you sip it neat due to it's alcohol level. Nose: raisins, pineapple vanilla. Palate: Arrak, lemon, coconutmilk, figs and dark chocolate.

Little funk, overproof, and value. My only complaint is i find myself want to drink this one neat (i have tried much to my throat's dismay). This one is fun to play around with in cocktails. Its potent enough to do the trick, but has an excellent funky flavor that can enhance your cocktail in more ways than just strength. If you find a bottle, buy it.

I had been told this was one of the better rums out there, so I grabbed a bottle. It is a good pour - a lot of heat that melts away into tobacco and molasses with a hint of a sweet finish that has a lingering spice to it.

I would not say it is one of the best rums I have had, but it is a very good pour that I will definitely pick up on occasion. Does not drink like an overproof, and I found it best after letting it air out for a few minutes.

Burnt sugar, molasses and pure spirit.
That is all but not enough for great rum.

So smooth for being overproof. It has a great funk. Love this in cocktails. It also has a great story behind it. If you're into Tiki drinks this is a must have.

Beautiful dark amber color. This very round and hot rum with aromas of dried fruit and vanilla is a superb blend created by experts in rum for bartenders for the creation of exotic cocktails. This version at 69% is a beautiful success. If you search for the definition of this acronym O.F.T.D, look at some comments below ;-)

What happens when you take seven rum experts (Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, Martin Cate, Alexandre Gabriel, Paul McFadyen, Paul McGee, Scotty Schuder, and David Wondrich), put them in the same room, grant them access to everything Plantation has available, and ask them to re-invent their Original Dark Overproof? As the legend goes, upon tasting a near-final blend, Wondrich exclaimed, "Oh f***, that's delicious!"—to which the others readily assented. Wanting that to be the name (remember, it had been a long day of rum tasting) but realizing it probably wouldn't fly, they borrowed the acronym and re-applied it to the somewhat redundant "Old Fashioned Traditional Dark".

Fortunately, it's all of those things—old-fashioned, dark, delicious... The nose bursts forth with strong, sweet, creamy butterscotch and brown sugar. (I usually dislike butterscotch, but it's just perfect here.) There's also a hint of baking spices. It hits your tongue at full force, with a pleasant burn.

Most of the rum in this blend hails from Guyana, but is expertly complemented by funky Jamaican and rich pot-still Bajan rums (unlike the Original Dark Overproof, which was Trinidadian). With its great complexity, sweetness, and high-octane kick, OFTD is just begging to be shaken or blended into something tasty. Try subbing it in for recipes that call for overproof, navy-style, or Jamaican rums; you may encounter—as the creators of this masterful blend did—something unexpected and wonderful.

True to Plantation form, the bottle is elegantly presented, with heaps of enjoyable literature adorning the label. (Kudos to Plantation's marketing and design team!)

What amazes me is the value at which Plantation has brought this to market—~$30 for a liter of high-quality, 138-proof booze? What are they drinking?! (Oh, yeah...) Here's to hoping they keep this accessible as a bar mixer for the masses. Like Stiggin's Fancy, I do see this as becoming a mainstay of the Plantation lineup for years to come.

Not a lot to say about this one. Stands out in cocktails? Whatever, it made last New Year's Eve great.

Not bad but I wasn't blown away by any means. Curious to compare against a few other similar, popular overproof rums.

Vůně: Je třeba nechat jej vydýchat. Až zmizí ta silná lihovost, objeví se příjemný mix Jamajky
(přezrálý ananas a banány) a Barbadosu(dřevitost, koření) plus karamel, vanilka
Chuť: Sušší nakyslá, spalující, poté nasládlá, ovocná, dřevitá, pepř, vanilka, karamel, čokoláda.
Není v tom skrytá nějaká extrémní složitost, ale nuda to není, je to příjemné
Dochuť: Sud, koření, čokoláda, vanilka
ABV hřeje, štípe, ale dá se to 😁
Za ta % nějaký půlbodík navíc, je to pořádný RUM, ne vodička!
7,5/10
