Strength and lots of flavor: banana and lots of esters. Provides a powerful and ruby flavor from the pot still
Sold for an attractive price at Jamaican stores on the island, you can find this for about $30 in the US, but it was $10 in Jamaica. At $10, it is a superb value, but at $30 is a horrible disappointment. The rum is clearly a pot stilled rum, something made evident on the distillery's website, but the finish is rough, harsh, with vegetal and grassy notes that are neither pleasant or complimentary to the flavor. The white overproof mixes nicely enough, but has few virtues. It comes across as a far too clean rum, disappears in cocktails, and disappoints across the board.
My friend brought me back a Liter of Rum Bar Rum (overproof rum) I tried it for the 1st time tonight & it is the WORK tasting rum I ever had! It had a Terrible Bad Chemical smell & taste. I am a rum drinker & have tried over 30 different rums, many that I liked & a few I didn't; But this Bar Rum was the Worst I have Ever tried. Will tell All my friends about this Horrible rum!!
I enjoy white rums both neat and in a drink. With that said. This is not it for me. The funky Jamaican notes are just to overpowering and completely dominates everything else.
Nose: Very strong smell of bananas with underlying notes of freshly cut grass
Taste: Exotic flavours powered by bananas and the classic Jamaican funk. Long and powerful aftertaste
Overall: As said above. This is just to much funk for me to handle. It may be a rum for the hardcore funk-lovers, but you really have to be into that kind of stuff to like this one.
What can I say.. Etanol fuel tequila something something yuk..
Dette er det værste jeg har smagt. Har en smag i munden som om jeg lige har kastet op.
Oh my God, this has to be the worst "everything I've ever tasted.
The extreme synthetic smell and aroma could wake up a dead man...
I'm lost for words on this one, even after 5 minutes of building curage to actually taste a tiny sip (had to goole it to find out if it was supposed to smell this bad) I still had to spit this foul liquid out.
Got his thing as a 20ml sample in a rum christmas calneder, so I can only say that it was an interesting experience, albeit the horrible tatste.

Le meilleur mixer overproof que je connaisse. Un véritable stinky rum dunder style et distillé en pot still. Incroyablement puissant et avec des notes douces de réglisse et de fruit à noyau très mur. Terrific en ti punch et peut se boire pur aussi mais en petite quantité bien sûr.
molasses. dry rum. white rum. overproof 63%
i´ve tried this rum in berlin directly from alexander kong from worthy park. great guy, great rum.
as a lover of white rum i had to taste this. very mild, smooth and fruity. great taste. little peppery notes. great jamaica taste!
like i understood, it will be relaunched under worthy park.
Vegetal almost like fresh sugarcane.
"It smells of sweet alcohol mixed with freshly cut grass an almost sour slightly fermented note."

I have been looking forward to trying this for quite some time as it is the original Overproof from my favorite Jamaican distillery. Reviews on it seem to be extremely polarized and after trying it I can easily see why. This rum was also a unique experience for me in that there is a titanic difference between its notes straight compared to slightly diluted. Like night and day difference. Drank straight this rum is very muted, not very expressive, and the notes it does play I didn’t find all that pleasant. However with dilution down to about 50% ABV the palate on this rum explodes into complex and delightful tropical fruit flavors. Therefore my very strong advice for those trying this for the first time is to try it both ways but withhold judgement until you dilute this down to about 50% ABV and allow the flavors to open up. So let’s get into the craziness of this experience.
On the nose, even straight this rum is quite expressive. From literally 2 feet away when I poured it into the snifter my nostrils were overwhelmed by caramelized banana. Leaning in more closely though reveals a bevy of more complex notes some of which remind me much more of an Agricole Blanc: green olive, rubber, grassy fresh sugar cane. Faintly behind that I get a note that I am really struggling to place which I guess can be best summarized as cherry scented acetone followed by blackberry cobbler. Interestingly, and quite unexpectedly, I get blackberry cobbler through all three phases of this experience.
Taking a sip straight I get warm blackberry cobbler, pineapple, tart sour cherries, and lemon juice. Diluting it with water brings out an impressive combination of banana, blackberry cream, and salted caramel. Straight, the rum is tart and extremely hot. With dilution the heat and tart dissipate and explode into all of the above flavors at once in magnificence. With dilution this rum is quite impressive.
The finish is another aspect where there is a titanic difference being the rum straight and diluted. Drank straight the finish is rather muted and I only get a chlorinated pool water taste* in my mouth. After diluting it down the finish on the rum once flourishes with an abundance of delightful notes: sour apple, brine, then blackberry ice cream with faint notes of raw cane sugar crystals and guava. After some time Guayabana (Cuban Custard Apple) appears. This is just fantastic and unique.
After drinking this rum straight I was prepared to give it a 3 as it was muted, hot, and frankly unpleasant. With water the complexity exploded into a multitude of delightful notes to the extent that I will rate it a solid 7.5. It’s clear to me that this rum simply needs to be diluted down to around 50% to allow it to truly shine…and shine it will. This is probably the perfect example of what Scott was referring to in his video about adding water to high Abv spirits to open up the flavors because man oh man is that evident here.
