Bacardi 151, or "151" as it is sometimes called, is an incredibly high-proof rum, as evidenced by its name. The liquor itself is approximately 75.5% alcohol by volume. This is sometimes referred to as "overproof rum" for its excessive levels of alcohol. Aside from pure grain alcohols such as Everclear, Bacardi 151 is perhaps the strongest alcoholic beverage available in America.

Like all beverages of this proof, consuming the rum by itself ("straight") is highly discouraged. As such, the rum is usually used in small amounts when making cocktails. An infamous drink, as it is banned in many townships and ordinances, is the "Flaming Dr. Pepper", which supposedly tastes identical to Dr Pepper despite being composed entirely of liquor. The drink is very dangerous, as it involves blowing a fireball over a row of shotglasses, and has thus been banned in many bars and restaurants.
