One member called it their favorite from a distillery tasting, and it's easy to see why: at 69% it drinks far softer than the number suggests. Citrus peel, sugarcane and cut grass up front, with vanilla, pears and overripe tropical fruit on the palate. The alcohol sits well integrated, and the finish runs oily and surprisingly long. Built for Ti Punch and daiquiris more than slow sipping.

How does Takamaka Takamaka Overproof Rum 2023 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Overproof cane-and-citrus rum for cocktails Only a handful of reviews, but they agree it punches above its proof — well-integrated heat, citrus-and-cane character, and a clear leaning toward cocktails over neat sipping.

8,4:On the nose the first impression is spicy and estery with fermented fruit notes and white chocolate, almonds, soy milk, tropical fruits are overripe as papaya, banana, litchi and pear. A bit later grass and lemon peel joins, is a bit smoky.It feels like a normal proof rum, not 69%!?Well, nice alcohol integration. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is quite delicate, yet spicy, alcohol is nicely integrated, there are vanilla, cream, pears, litchi, fermented tropical fruits with some lemon peel. After some molasses with licorice might join, is salty, dry, yet balanced... 8:The finish is quite long, dry, fruity with pears, mangoes, grapes, molasses are a bit mineral. The review was made on 2024 Overproof, 98% column still, 2%pot still.

Distillery visit Trois Frères Distillery November 2025. Last from the first tasting is the Overproof. So far my favorite. Citrus fruits, sugarcane, and grass on the nose; on the palate also citrus fruits as well as tropical fruits and a bit of vanilla.
Review by Tim
A visit to the Takamaka distillery is worthwhile! During the pandemic, the distillery has built up a second mainstay alongside its high-quality pot still made from fresh sugar cane juice from the Seychelles in very small quantities with a triple column still that works with molasses from abroad (Mauritius). This enables continuous production in large quantities, serving the cocktail and beginner segment. Triple distillation produces a very neutral rum, which is then flavored with aromas (e.g. fruit essences, cinnamon, vanilla, sometimes also with coloring and sugar). This is also the case with this rum, which is enhanced with flavors again after distillation, resulting in a rum that is very reminiscent of Dom. Rep. I can't quite understand the process. The new segment helps the distillery financially, but it does not produce a quality rum.
Review by DomM
Very nice and smooth. Some sweetness and Charakter - should be very for drinks and daiquiris particularly.

Review by Markus Schmidt
I find this one absolutely fantastic! Considering the price asked. I'm not that deep into the rum world yet, so I can't place some of the nuances/aromas. But: simply delicious in a Ti Punch. Sure, you can notice the 69% ABV. But it doesn't bother me. Above all, I have a big smile on my face because even minutes later the taste still lingers... And very pleasantly! I rated the finish only as medium (due to lack of comparison), but it's actually more medium to long. For under 15€, a "no brainer"!
