Takamaka Overproof Rum

Most tasters land around a friendly 6-7: a citrus-forward white rum that's a touch hot neat but pleasant once it opens up. Expect lemon and lime peel, a peppery kick, some sugarcane and grass, and a little litchi on the palate. One French reviewer thinks it's underrated once well aerated. At 69% the alcohol isn't fully tucked away, so most reach for it in a Ti-Punch.

The community says
  • Bright citrus
  • Grass and sugarcane
  • Less suitable for: Anyone who wants a smooth neat sipper or lots of complexity

#6909 13.06.2026 Relaxing with some samples after a nice dinner and evening at my friends place. Listening to some powerful Psy Trance on Spotify. Though this is a mixer it still makes a good impression as a sipper and at a great price tag. A medium intense profile with nice grass, fruits, spices and some chocolate and light nutts.

Well, you really can't complain for the price. Due to the ABV, it's a bit alcoholic on the nose. Citrus fruits are also noticeable, plus a slight floral note. On the palate, it's also citrus-heavy, plus some cane sugar and grass.

"Excellent takamaka, frankly, once it's well aerated, there's fruit, a little pepper and a hint of lychee. To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Alcoholic In the mouth: Fruity, Candied, Lychee, Peppery". For me, it's underrated!

A good price-performance ratio. Too strong and somehow spicy on its own, so only a close 7. The fruity, citrusy aroma and taste predominate. Very tasty as a ti-punch. Can be recommended without hesitation as a starter.

A pretty elegant white rum for a 69%er. A bit of licorice/aniseed in taste. Rice wine. Not overly complex. A bit closed. But very drinkable.

The nose may be expressive, but on the palate the aromatic richness is much more interesting. The alcohol is not perfectly integrated but it is an interesting overproof.

At full cask strength. With a 7.0 out of 10, it's a good, though not exceptional rum.
