Hamilton Overproof 750 ml

Hamilton Overproof is a high-strength rum from Hamilton Rum, a brand run by rum historian and importer Ed Hamilton that sources pot-still rum from Caribbean distilleries known for traditional production methods. Overproof rums are bottled well above standard 40% ABV strength, giving a bolder, more intensely flavored spirit suited to tiki cocktails that call for a strong rum backbone, like a Zombie or a Navy Grog. Expect heavier funk and molasses character than a standard-proof white or gold rum, typical of pot-still Caribbean production. A cool, dark cupboard is all the storage it needs, and it holds its flavor well over time once the bottle is opened.

How to drink Hamilton Overproof

Use it as the backbone of a tiki cocktail like a Zombie or Navy Grog, where its strength and funk hold up against other strong ingredients — it's not really built for sipping neat.
