At 73 percent ABV, Plantation Original Dark Overproof is simply the heavy-hitter version of the Plantation Original Dark, at 40 percent ABV. Both are sourced from Angostura in Trinidad, and both are a blend of younger rums with a touch of eight year rum to add a slug of hogo. Aging is done in heavily charred ex-bourbon casks, followed by a dunk in Cognac casks in France. This review covers the original Trinidad-only version. In mid-2015 Plantation announced that subsequent releases will be a blend of Trinidad and Jamaican rums.

De couleur paille, il est assez léger a l'oeil. Au nez on a d'abord des fruits avec aussi la force de l'alcool. La bouche est puissante mais complexe avec des notes de pruneau et de bois. Avec un belle longueur en bouche qui est très englobante. Une belle réussite.
Woof!!! What a crazy drink!! Spicy, tangy, strong rum!! The French oak Cognac cask and bourbon cask comes off strongly, an amazing mix! The rum flavours are unlike anything I've ever tried before. I found it too strong, but my boyfriend adored it!!
CRAZY high octane! Its got a decent flavor for such a lethal proof but really this is all about putting the ole’ KAPOW on a rum cocktail. Too bad this seems to be discontinued...a fill liter of this jet fuel cost me like $23.
Smoothest 151 available IMO. Won't destroy the palate of your guests, Black Blended Overproof in Martin Cate's rum hierarchy. Excellent mixer and drink topper.
This is a righteous overproof rum. Flavorful, rich and powerful, wouldn’t sip it but seems it would be great in a cocktail.
