Obviously the O.F.T.D. is intended as the powerhouse core of tropical libations, rather than something you’d pour in a snifter. Expect to see this rum pop up in Tiki bars all over the world.
Plantation O.F.T.D will be used predominantly in the Tiki Culture and it will top things such as Zombies and be used in Mai Tai’s etc. It is a big rich rum which is meant to be drank in small quantities.

House Review
Nose:
Rich on the nose, tons of pineapple, brown sugar, light plasticity, some honey and pepper. It’s brash but there’s a good deal going on.
Taste:
Powerful and hot on the palate, but what isn’t at 69% ABV? Sweet, cloyingly so, full of brown sugar, toffee, brûlée, pineapple, maple and all sorts of dessert. Light on oak, a dash of pepper .
Finish:
Long finish, primarily as a function of the ABV as the tingle holds on a good while. Burnt sugar, plastic, apple butter and toffee reside.
Overall:
Overall, this is a likely fine mixer for an aged rum at blistering proof. It’s not particularly incredible, but it does just fine for what it is.
