Overproof Rum Review - Which SHOULD YOU Buy?
Рет қаралды 12,198
Күн бұрынIn this video, I'm taking a look at Overproof Rum and giving you a quick Rum Review of the 3 different styles and 4 different brands. There's a comparison of Wray and Nephew Rum vs Rum Bar Overproof Rum. Plus Plantation OFTD review and Pussers 151 Rum review. This is the ultimate side by side overproof rum comparison. Will Wray and Nephew reign supreme?! Or will the Rum Bar Overproof review beat it?

So if you had to pick between Plantation O.F.T.D and Pusser's Select Age 151 with no regard for the price, the Pusser's would win? The reason I'm asking is that here in Denmark, the price between the two is very small (25 Danish Kroner ~ 2.5 British pounds).
@StevetheBarmanUK 2 жыл бұрын
Can’t remember what I said in that video, but now for me. Further in to this Rum Journey. If I could only pick 1 or the 2, Plantation OFTD cos it fits in more brackets. Sipping, Mai Tai’s, Punches etc. it’s not that it’s better, it’s just that I could use OFTD as my sole Rum in a Mai Tai. Where as Pussers, it’d be lacking the Jamaica vibes. So on that Basis, OFTD is more versatile. But both are amazing.

@@StevetheBarmanUK ok thanks. I’m more of a gin guy and just getting into rum. We don’t have a lot of selection at our stores. I just bought some el dorado 3 year which made a very good daiquiri. Better than the signature. But by themselves, the Appleton was better. Going to try the 8 year old Appleton next and try to hunt down a plantation 3 star. Wray and nephew is easy to find but is quite expensive, I presume due to the extra alcohol tax

Your explanation of proof is a little short. Yes, in the US proof is defined as 50% alcohol, but in the UK it was defined as 57% alcohol, and it's from there that the categories of underproof, overproof and proof were defined. Navy strength was then defined down from there to be 54.5%, but it's often equated with proof at 57%.
@StevetheBarmanUK 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah. You’re right. But of course as the UK hasn’t used Proof since the 80s… (that what i eluded to in history and dumbing it down) so that means technically Proof is now considered Double UK ABV %.

I'm surprised that you don't seem t have any rums from Grenada that i can see including Rivers from the oldest distilliary in the Caribbean at River Antoine. It's flavours and aromas are unique and comes in two ABVs 69% or somewhere around 90%.
@StevetheBarmanUK Жыл бұрын
Oldest distillery in the Caribbean?! 🧐 Think Mount Gay, Worthy Park and Appleton Estate (and a few others) may disagree with you there… But regarding, Grenada Rums, no I don’t have any. I’ll keep an eye out.
@flapsto60 Жыл бұрын
@@StevetheBarmanUK i guess they all claim that but the distilliary still uses a water wheel (I think thats the oldest in the world bit) and bagasse for fuel. Also look out for Dunfirmline, Westerhall, Clarks Couirt, Woodsman etc Rivers is available in the UK but due to it's popularity there its really expensive, but the unique flaour is worth it. Another legend is that Grog comes from Grand Rum Of Grenada but more likely to do with sailors refering to Admiral Vernon and his Grogham coat ie Old Grog.

So, not really understanding how something can be more than 100 proof, wouldn't 100% rum be pure straight rum, 100 proof? Over proof just sounds like a way to raise prices.
@StevetheBarmanUK 2 жыл бұрын
Don’t see % and proof as the same thing. As I say in the video, 50% ABV is 100 proof. So any over 100 Proof (50% ABV) is therefore by default “Overproof”. Hence 151 which is 151 Proof and 75.5% ABV. So you’re quite right, nothing can be over 100% proof. But then again, apart from Stroh, I’ve never ever seen anything over 80% ABV which is 160 proof 👍

@@justyntyme114 92 proof would be 46%, not 40%. Anyway, pot distilled rum typically reaches over 70% or 140 proof, collumn distilled rum goes from 75% or 150 proof to 95% or 190 proof, all approximately. From whatever proof it comes of the still at it will usually be proofed down with water to whatever proof it is eventually bottled at, often also at intermediate steps if it is aged.
