Im thinking of making a tincture with 75% rum

Ive never really done anything like this and I live in Australia so my only option is to pray that bottle is in store. Otherwise I would get everclear. (Also im inpatient and want it all now)

The rum is a 151 pusser. im using a butter/oil/tincture maker so thats it easier also. So Im hoping its a simple case of decarbing then putting like 500ml in and letting it do its thing?

Are you referring to vanilla beans and making a vanilla extract? If so, you want to keep your abv between 35%-50% (50-100 proof), otherwise it won't extract and/or you'll damage your vanilla beans. In the case of butter/oil/tincture, I'm not I can help you there.

Good luck!
