Hamilton - 86 Demerara Rum 750ml

Hamilton 86 Demerara Rum serves as a benchmark for quality spirits from Guyana. Curated by Ed Hamilton, the renowned Minister of Rum, this bottle showcases the unique character of the Demerara River region. It is produced at the legendary Diamond Distillery, famous for its heritage and craft. The spirit is a thoughtful blend of rums distilled in both antique wood pot stills and modern column stills. This combination creates a texture and depth that is hard to find elsewhere.

The liquid is aged for up to five years, allowing the flavors to marry and mature. At 86 proof, it offers a bold presence that does not get lost when mixed. On the palate, it delivers a rich array of dark stone fruit and smoky wood. You will taste distinct notes of burnt cane and treacle, followed by warmth from brown spice and gingerbread. Deeper layers reveal ripe figs, roasted nuts, and a touch of dried tobacco. This rum is a true workhorse. It is complex enough to sip neat but robust enough to be the foundation of a classic Tiki cocktail.
