Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of pickled citrus and cherries, citronella and leather, milk chocolate, and old chocolate covered cherries with a round, dryish medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long finish with notes of vanilla asphalt, black jelly beans, and candied blood orange. Funky umami notes pair well with earthy cigars or make a fun float in tiki cocktails.

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.
