Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of honey dew, pineapple cream, vanilla bean, and palm hearts with a round, dryish medium body and a very long finish with overtones of grilled pineapple upside down cake, pralines and banana bread, sweet peppers, and black tea and salumi. Intensely, exquisitely full of flavor; if you like old and funky on George Clinton levels, this is the Rum you are looking for.

Overproof Rum also known as Navy Proof Rum, is Rum in any style that is over 40% ABV (or 80 Proof) and is traditionally robustly flavored. Favored by British sailors from the early 1700s until the mid-seventies, it was often mixed with water to form a ‘grog’ to be drunk by sailors out at sea.
