Plantation O.F.T.D. Overproof
Most people land in the same place: at 69% this is a mixing workhorse first, and a decent neat pour second. Expect molasses, dark chocolate, caramel and ripe banana with a big alcoholic kick. Fans call it "warm and a little bit funky" and love it in Tiki drinks. Sip it neat and the booze needs air, water and patience before the flavors open up.
The community says- Powerful Tiki mixer
- Molasses and chocolate
- But: Hot neat

How does Plantation O.F.T.D. Overproof taste?
Aggregated from 1,804 community reviews.
Punchy overproof mixer with chocolate and banana Loved as an overproof mixer that also holds tropical fruit, chocolate and caramel. The catch: neat it burns and reads thin on complexity, so most reach for cola or cocktails.

Review by Rumpalumpa
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 it’s okay if you take it slow.

23.12.2025 Have some of my old colleagues over for an EKTE tasting that I promissed a while back. This bottler is no more ans I am pretty sure that a few others will follow in 2026. This is rum number oe of the surprises I am serving today. ----------- A very positive surprise! Once rested it is pretty fruity and well balanced, even tried it in a Rum'n'Coke where it did pretty well.

I was honestly disappointed with it. I think the alcohol content is too much for this rum. It covers all the fruity notes. With those degrees I have drunk better
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
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!
Review by Stefan Persson
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.
Review by Shaun Abel
Acquired taste, not a bottle I would rushing to purchase but would drink it if someone offered it..I can see this as a camp fire drink
Review by Galli33
Unfortunately, the alcohol is simply too dominant. It isn’t integrated particularly well, and I have to say that even the 86% monster from Rom Deluxe carries its strength more elegantly than this one. That said, the value for money is excellent. For a relatively modest price, you still get a well-made, good-quality rum. If you can look past the rather aggressive alcohol, it’s a bottle that offers plenty of character for the money.
Review by Thunderbird
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.
Review by Ondrej Czinege
Sharp as a pig, unforgiving
Review by cigares
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.
Review by DangerSnert
Mixed Surprisingly good dispite the 69% alcohol
Review by zabo
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.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
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!
Review by Lukascb86
Není můj šálek, ale zajímavá zkušenost.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, there are ripe and stewed fruit with cocoa and vanilla and finally oily nuts. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is smooth and buttery with a subtle herbaceous profile. This is followed by an explosion of sweet spices, accompanied by a rich, meltingly woody caramel. A caramelized molasses flavor then emerges, revealing the dark chocolate. 7,9:The finish medium long, as the roasted notes linger, accompanied by spices, smoky dark chocolate and wood..
Review by HenryL
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.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
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 👍
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
It heats up in there, what a power! Not a big fan but has the merit to have watts (69%) and to send a true kick in the face! Pure it develops tastes of dried fruits, coffee and leather. Very big length and remains very hot in mouth for a long time. A real woody and roasted side. To privilege in cocktails according to me, or then in digestive during a very watered dinner... Lacking clearly of smoothness, coherence and complexity but not so unpleasant to drink.
