     Really good overproof! Alcohol surprisingly well integrated! Can actually be drunk better neat than expected 🤣 saved my evening after a missed flight in Vienna. Awesome for lighting zombie cocktails and more.

     Quite a sharp nose, as you'd expect. Very molasses forward, with oak, cinnamon and raisin following. With this high ABV it can almost feel as if it is evaporating on the tounge before any liquid enters the throat. Its sweet. Raisin, licorice the molasses from the nose are all present and a lot easier to detect with water. Finish is short with lots of brown sugar and oak. For me, there are better overproofs on the market. Though, this is one of the strongest out there if that's your thing. Would work well in a Zombie with its dark, licorice notes.

     This rum is amazing and at the same time my first overproof. Immediately warming on the tongue, it has a pronounced mildness for this alcohol content, which I did not expect. Notes of coffee, caramel and dark chocolate paired with a long finish. When tasting, be sure to try it at the end.

     I would guess definitely lower voltaz, at 75% it is a fairly smooth rum, but not distinctive aromas and flavors
