Shipping not available. In-store pickup only.

Hamilton Rum is known for its quality, accessibility, and transparency ― values that founder Ed Hamilton swears by. Hamilton 86 Demerara River Rum is a unique blend of aged rums that are distilled at the Diamond Distillery, a part of Demerara Distillers Ltd. Both pot and continuous still rums make it into the blend, resulting in a fruity, rich, and deep expression that's bottled at 86 proof. Guyana-based Demerara Distillers is known for using molasses with one of the highest sugar contents in the Caribbean. The rum is imported from the distillery, brought down from its original 154 proof with filtered water, then bottled at the Five & 20 Distillery in Westfield, NY.

Tasting Notes

The nose is rich with molasses, dark fruit, raisin, fruit, tobacco, cocoa, and vanilla aromas. There's a balance of sweetness and bitterness on the palate with toffee, treacle, dark chocolate, nuts, spice, and smoky oak. The spice and oak linger on the finish.
