It's still marked with the ABV. "Overproof" is just the type of rum it is, like "spiced", "gold" or "white", which is why it's written on the label like that.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. Is this rum worth stepping up on?

If white rum, fuck Bacardi and get Havana Club - very good Cuban Rum (availability in the US might be a problem...). It's old, but not all that different to a Cuban film maker or musician - very very characterful and a wee bit old fashioned. Best had neat and I'd say, without much (or none) for company. I've yet to taste the delicacies of Jamaica, Barbados or Trinidad though...

Anyways, for the time being, soon it will be



Kinda sad that it's discontinued. Best out of the JW range.

Blue is great.... but I would never spend the full 200+ on a blended scotch. Have not bothered with Green or Gold though.... see no point, once I got into Single Malt Scotch... all blended just seemed pointless to me.

If you want to either (a) get extremely hammered or (b) win the approval of Jamaicans, then yes.
