Hamilton Guyana 151 is great over crushed ice, in a swizzle, or Zombie. Hard hitting notes of Demerara sugar, raisin, nutmeg, cinnamon, booze, and a little oak in the back.

This one will get you into trouble.

Must have.
Mix up some zombies with this magic potion floating on top.
End the evening with a little bit served neat.
Youโ€™ll go to bed with a warm heart.

Beautiful deep amber color. Warm vanilla aroma with a slight sourness. Lots of Caramel flavor, with a burnt sugar taste on the finish. Thereโ€™s some maple flavor in there as well, and just a hint of lemon. Very warm going down.

The only reason this doesn't get a 10 is because I am not a really a fan of overproofs. That said this is by far the smoothest, most amazing overproof rum I have ever had. It has the same notes as its less powerful sibling but in full force with chest warming intensity. Baby sips with this one because it clocks in at 75.5% ABV, but man does each tiny sip pack a wallop of pure unadulterated Demerara flavor. Lots of brown sugar, smoke, burnt caramel, cola, dark chocolate, and molasses flavors. If you want the specifics read my review of the 86 proof...now imagine all of those attributes dialed to 10. It is a power punch of intense brown sugar, cola, burnt caramel, and dark choclately goodness - but with less oak characteristics than the dilution. There is slightly more dark chocolate and molasses bitterness on the finish than the 86, plus a slight cigar tobacco touch that does not come through on the 86. This is the only overproof I think I would ever even remotely consider drinking neat...and that says something about the quality and attributes of this rum. Overall, the power of the flavor profile comes through just a little more on this than the 86 and I wish that was something I could get on the 86 but what are your going to do. Absolutely excellent! At $29 a bottle and the fact that you can literally make 2 full bottles of the 86 from this, or not, however you choose to drink it, this is phenomenal value for a pure, untouched, original cask strength Demerara.

This rum may be one of the best bargains out there. To get an amazing overproof rum that is not only great for mixing but can also be used as a sipper at this price point is truly special. Do yourself a favor a pickup a bottle!

This has to be one of the best overproofs on the market. Fair price. Hamilton has a solid reputation for quality. Itโ€™ll definitely add that missing ingredient to your drinks!

This is my preferred 151 rum. Ed Hamilton has done a great job producing a high proof rum that also has wonderful flavor. Molasses flavor is perfect.

It's not even close for me. I love the heavy brown sugar nose on Hamilton 151 and use it in all my Tiki drinks requiring black overproof rum.

When you combine this with the also brown sugar Gossling's Black Seal for a Naked Ape it's a really fun time.

As I noted in my review of Plantation OFTD, also in this rum category, Hamilton 151 is more of a single note than OFTD. So if you really appreciate complexity then you may like that better.

Better than Pussers and Lemon hart imo. Really good in cocktails and sipping

Hamilton 151 is a high proof fire breather. This overproof beast is my number one choice for the overproof in the Jet Pilot tiki cocktail as printed in Smuggler's Cove.
