I have a very specific method for making mine. I currently have 2 jars soaking.
Here is my routine:
1 jar of cherries, I prefer Maraschino cherries.
1 bottle of 151 Rum
I drain the cherries out and rinse several times with cold water until there is no longer any red coming out(or very little)
Be careful not to shake too hard as the cherries will fall to pieces.
I will eat the first few just to bring the height in the jar down and then I fill with 151 to the point it covers the cherries 100%. this is important to preserve the cherries through this process.
Here is where I think people make their mistake...they just let it sit for a short time. I leave it in the jar for 1 week and then I drain it and repeat the process. If you want to make 2 jars, just drain the fluid into a jar of cherries which has been rinsed and use up whatever alcohol is left.
I leave the cherries sit for at least another 2 weeks. sometimes it works faster than others for some reason but the trick is to notice that the cherries are being bleached to a greyish color. repeat the process after 2-3 weeks but this time leave the 151 in for about 1 month. the cherries should be completely grey and the texture will stiffen up as well. if you take it to the point that the cherries are completely grey, you will have cherries that are nearly pure alcohol and a small handful will get you quite drunk. I gave 9 of them to a friend who said he felt like he had put back a 6 pack in an hour.
the second jar will not be as strong and is good for the ladies and for people who just don't like doing shots or that "strong alcohol flavor". The liquid left over in the jar can be used for mixers. I like spiking Dr. Pepper with it but you can do whatever you want. By that time there will be very little residual flavor from the cherries in it.
You can also repeat the process 1 more time if you wish so that they are soaking in fresh liquor but I would not expect them to get too much stronger after the 3rd application.
I hope this helps!
An alcoholic beverage.
No. Bacardi has a 151 proof rum, known as an over-proofed rum. 151 Rum has extra alcohol added to the rum to make it more potent and more flammable. 191 proof anything, however, would be almost pure alcohol and would taste like alcohol not rum.
No.

151 Rum should get you drunk faster.
Bacardi 151 rum is mainly put out by Bacardi Limited, which is based in Hamilton, Bermuda. It has a very high concentration of alcohol, at 75.5 percent.
There are a few variations to the alcoholic drink that is called a Zombie. The most common alcohol ingredients include light rum, dark rum, apricot brandy and 151 proof rum.
Bacardi 151 is a hundred and one proof! And its rum.
Blood, apples, red rum (murder backwards), cherries, and tomatoes.
151 rum (like Bacardi) and Wild Turkey Whiskey
No, Everclear is a neutral spirit that's distilled from grain and Bacardi 151 is a rum that is distilled from sugarcane by-products and then fermented.
Bacardi 151, Commonly known as 151, is a brand of Overproof Rum. (Alternatively there is Everclear 151 which is a grain alcohol). It is extremely easy to get intoxicated by drinking overproof rum. The 151 identifies the beverage as 151 proof, or 75.5% alcohol content by volume. It is also extremely flammable, and caution should be taken if using or consuming it around open flames. It's flammability makes it popular for inclusion in fire shots or other flame-based cocktails, as drinking 151 straight is an unpleasant experience for most consumers.
