From the heart of Saint Lucia, Bounty Strong 151 Overproof Rum is a bold, full-throttle spirit designed for those who appreciate rum at its most powerful. Crafted by Saint Lucia Distillers, this formidable overproof expression is a blend of pristine column-still rum and a touch of barrel-aged complexity, delivering a flavour punch that matches its formidable 75.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Brilliant crystal-clear with subtle golden reflections - pure and intense, hinting at the strength within.
Nose
Aromas burst with toasted marshmallow, warm vanilla pod, and sun-dried tropical fruit. Beneath the sweetness lies a backbone of spice - cinnamon bark, nutmeg, and a trace of saffron, balanced by fresh citrus zest.
Palate
Intensely warming yet impressively smooth for its proof. Initial sweetness of marshmallow and caramelised sugar gives way to layers of ripe plantain, baked pineapple, and burnt orange, supported by hints of oak and a peppery heat.
Finish
Long, dry, and complex. Waves of tropical fruit and warm spice slowly fade, leaving a lingering, satisfying warmth that reminds you of its overproof power.
Serving Suggestion
Best enjoyed as the backbone of complex cocktails or in small, measured pours over plenty of ice. Try it in a 151 Swizzle or as a float in a Mai Tai for a potent tropical kick.
Bounty Strong 151 Overproof Rum is not for the faint-hearted - it's a celebration of Caribbean rum at its most intense, delivering heat, flavour, and personality in every drop. Handle with respect, savour with pleasure.
