The first drink I made with this wonderful Rum locked me in. Taste is subjective and I can't speak for anyone else, but the Mai-Kai's Oh So Deadly is one of my favorite drinks and in my humble opinion, can't be made without Hamilton Gold and Black. I find no similarities between the Smith & Cross (which I like) and the Hamilton.
I tell people to try and drop any preconceptions about rums when I pour it for them. It's very different.
Out of the 53 rums I keep on hand, the Hamilton is in my top 3.

Got to have the funk! My second time drinking this one (in a Jet Pilot). Got a big whiff of licorice which I didn't the first time. Regardless, amazing rum in an amazing drink!

If you like Jamaican Hogo look no further than this for your needs. It's economical and wholly delicious.

No better way to make a Jungle Bird or a grog. Lots of funk, molasses, and treacle. Tastes like made in a pot still that was not adequately cleaned, but in a good way. For beer people, this is the Vapuer or Fantome of rums. Surely not for everyone, but I think this is super underrated.

Sipped neat, and this is so neat - vegetal herby nose. But then lush licorice and molasses on the tongue. Really great and funky.

Using this black rum in cocktails really boosts the flavor and adds some of that funk.

This is wonderful. Loads of overripe bananas and rotting fruits. Hints of bandaid and maybe phenols. This is truly superb with a lot of nuance. I feel like I could pick it apart for hours, but a half ounce pour isn't quite enough to delve deeper. Will return to this one for another tasting.

If you love Appleton and that Jamaican funk In your tiki mixes this is an extreme version done the old way with the pot still method. I would recommend this for anyone who is a serious connoisseur of Jamaican rums, my rating is for using it as a mixer, but I suggest using a little less in simple mixes, because it is strong and can overpower a mix. For those multiple ingredient mixes like Rum Barrels or vintage Zombies this can work well. As a sipper itโs kind of a fun novelty if you want to see how much HOGO you can handle! It does have a whiskey profile mixed with that Coruba or Myers type Jamaican. Try 1 oz Hamilton with 1oz simple syrup, 1 oz lime and a dash of bitters swizzle with crushed ice and a couple luxardo cherries. Basically a riff on Stephen Remsbergโs Planters Punch, with less rum. A fun sipper to sample with your rum buddies to see how far they have taken the funk! A rare find that I give a 9 because of rarity and uniqueness and because Ed Hamilton is a gentleman, scholar and fine judge of rum.

Great molasses taste

I am a big fan of Jamaican rums. This one has a strong molasses fragrance when poured; however, it is much milder and sweeter than it smells, Great straight or with some Creole Shrub. Good neat or over the rocks.
