Plantation O.F.T.D. Overproof

 Nice rum! The very low price and low confidence in low-end Plantations had me a bit conditioned. Strong, but really enjoyable with its crisp chocolate and coffee aromas!

 The content comes from Barbados (W.I.R.D., I suppose), Guyana (PM) and Jamaica (Maybe Hampden, but I don’t know). It’s molasses based and both column still and pot still rum is in it. Overall I must say that it reached far from my expectations. I believe it should be used just as a mixer.

 Buuh The impact of the alcohol is overwelming. I have to say the alcohol is the 86% monster of rom deluxe is less notable than in this one.

 For me, it's a classic mixer and, considering the price, it's great! Intense dark and heavy aromas predominate, of wood, licorice, slightly roasted and dark chocolate. Red dried fruit is also present.

 One of the coolest mixers for a reasonably priced CubaLibre. I would always prefer a Captain Morgan, Bacardi, Havana Club etc. Almost unbeatable for the price. There are of course better rums, but not in this price range. Pure is simply not his world, but it's not really made for that.

 It stings on the nose! Like a cognac nose, rum raisins, woody. Pungent on the palate too, sharp, doesn't fulfill all the promise of the nose. Rum grapes, woody, lots of vanilla, but not as balanced as the nose. Short finish. Watts, but lacks balance and especially depth.A little water calms the beast and makes it more balanced. Interesting.Tasted again and more interesting than the first time.

 Wonderfully fruity blend that you do not notice its high alcohol content negatively. One of the best value for money, both in cocktails and neat.

 For me, by far the best overproof rum in terms of PLV. Top mixability, even pure relatively good drinkable and simply a bank in X drinks that require dark rum as an aroma bomb. Also makes the hottest Feuerzangenbowle ever 😂 I celebrate this rum ! Hopefully the recipe remains as it is!

 If you want something extra strong and you can drink it without mixing, this Plantation O.F.T.D. 69% ideal choice at a favorable price 👍

 this is a must have for the cocktail bar. great price and intense flavor. nice sweetness, fruit and molasses. sipping is very rough though due to the high alcohol content, but its okay if you take it slow.

 PLV absolute grenade. Normally only used as a mixer, but have just made the pure tasting.For this price a super bottling.76/100

 On a second tasting with some water and longer time in the glass, I find this rum much better. After the alcohol is gone, there is mainly caramel, roasted flavors and chocolate with fruit. In the mouth, it doesn't really go undiluted. Very sharp alcoholic. It remains roasted chocolate and fruit.

 After 2 years opened in the closet also pure pleasantly mild. Hintenraus little depth and very flat. Surprisingly little finish for such a strong rum. Would give him pure a 60/100Functions in cocktails excellent. For this I would give him a 80/100.Excellent PLV and super availability.

 On the nose it's got lots of molasses and dark chocolate notes with prunes and oak following. There's a little tea at the end. On the palate, once the bite of the 69% chills out, the woody barrel notes hit first followed by a big, but not off-putting amount of sweetness. The palate then moves to cloves and a viscous oiliness that coats the mouth. Again, in a good way. On the finish the wood mellows and dark chocolate and engine oil linger. A nice sipper for something of such a high ABV.

 I had to check twice that this bottle is only 20-25€. What a bargain! Clearly a Navy Rum and balanced really good. I find the Guyana parts most present, follow by Jamaica and a bit vanilla and wood from Barbados here and there. Looking at my empty bottle I think I should get another one. Or a case.
