Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D.

Amazing, how this overproof rum changes characteristics when adding some drops of water. From quite strong with some Jamaican funk over toffee/caramel to more fruity notes. All that for half the price of some “leading brands”…

Very good overproof rum. Full of flavours and aromas. Great choice when the cocktails need it and for shots as well

Smell is nothing special, classic rum. Taste is something else....fruit, caramel and some wood but stay only for second, after that start some warm from throat and nice end.
From overproof rums is this on in the better top. maybe 60-65% will be enough, but still good drink for great price. 8/10

Here was my first review: “Mere words cannot convey what it is like to drink this rum—but I will try. It is an overproof rum, and you’d be hard pressed to miss it. The heat hits you fast, but not unpleasantly; for all that, you still get strong molasses and dark caramel right at the front. Tasty. Once it mellows out a bit, you get into raisins, candied bitter orange peel, coffee, chocolate, and some burnt sugar. On the back end, it leaves your mouth warm and (slightly) dry, with an impression of baking spice. This stuff is entirely too drinkable, and for the price point, maybe the best in its category. One of my favorites to date. Utterly delicious.”

Now the Edit: Learned that Plantation adds some sugar to this, and some of their other rums. I don’t mind, they still taste great, but thought it should be mentioned. May compare this in the future with a similar overproof / navy style to see which I like better (I do love my smith and cross). If you’re not into added sugar, you may want to look elsewhere. Downgraded from a 9 to an 8.

It is fairly delicious and it's amazing you can sip it at 69%. But for me it's mostly a float

Neat, there is a lot of some flavor up front, I can't identify, then it drifts off. Almost a bit of almonds or marzapan, something. It's clean in the end. That is OK but not always what I want to sip, personally. I do think you can get a nice other-level buzz sipping it like with moonshine. Like the chronic, of alcohol.

Can't always identify the flavors and smells, myself. There is some smoke etc. but it's all sort of melted together which is fine. A little tannins maybe, sharp... not extreme.

Not much to add here. It's overproof and it tastes like overproof. Not the "I'm gonna tear your insides"proof, just overproof.

Sec c'est pas forcément top. Mais en cocktail c'est excellent.

Very nice overproof dark rum. Interesting flavors but you will definitely know it is overproof! No hiding that at 69% abv. This is my go-to overproof rum for mixing at this time. Try it in a Pain Killer, you will not regret it! Cheers!

Yes, it is strong, but the high alcohol does not mask the amazing bold flavor.

I could describe the nose, the flavor, and the finish, but instead I'll just say this- add 1/2 an oz to almost any cocktail which wants dark rum flavors. Great as a floater, great as a general mixer, just great, and CHEAP. I debated a 10/10 honestly on value alone, but couldn't make myself do it. This is a blend of Jamaican, Bajan and Demerara rums, but I mostly taste the Demerara flavors. If I to build a home bar with only 2 bottles of rum, this would be one of them.

Cork review: 4/10, ACTUAL cork so 1 bonus point for that, but a bit weak. The neck of the bottle is like a 5 year old trying to choke out the adonis that is the cork. *puhhhhh*
