Rum Fire White Overproof

Adds layer upon layer of funk. High esters. Lends itself to be a tremendous modifier.

Obviously with the percentage this is not meant to be shipped but is a Jamaican cocktail influence that is amazing .... Very versatile but never lets you forget about it ..
Think notes of ripe tropical fruits and spice with grassy, vegetal characters.

Very unpretentious bottle, humble looking even, with motifs of cyan and orange, and of course a raging inferno of flames.

I braced for the onslaught of alcoholic rampage, and indeed, the nose arrives with sharp, tingling fumes of the raw power of the overproof expression, but quickly subsides to soft, warm, caressing, calming notes of candied fruit and sweet, summer notes of bananas, plums, and dried pears.

The palate is super sweet - come on, I know that Jamaican rums are never sweetened, so tell me, how is this possible? The rum does not taste like 63ABV alcohol at all, I mean the wallop is certainly there, but sipped with respect, it exudes nothing but warm, gentle candlelight of fruity, funky, comforting notes - dried bananas, apricot marmalade, honey, fruit candy, pears.

The finish is gentle and reassuring, like a wave of a hand of a beautiful, mature woman, with a swift, delicate memory of mellow cordiality, and a fleeting promise of more intimate moments to come in the future.

This is a fantastic, fantastic rum!

This is one of my favorite rums of all time period. And a delicious overproof that cuts through painkillers and pina coladas with serious funk and bite. It’s a great addition, blended with tamer white rums, into mojitos and daiquiris. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Move over Wray & nephews. There’s a new overproof white rum in town. Hampden outdid themselves here.

Rum co má koule, čirá Jamajka která pokaždé překvapí! Hodně aromatická, ale výborná.

Nejlepší a nejpodivnější bílý rum co sem měl. Pecka s doporučenou grepovou sodovkou. Pro neznalé bych to nejvíc přirovnal k ovocné pálence.

Wasn’t the easiest to track down. Said to not be a sipper, but I found it to be enjoyable. Where it excels is mixing. Has a good funk. A little heat - I found cinnamon, not the consensus here. Fruity aroma. This turned into my go to White

the Rum Fire is simply the best Overproof I have tasted.
It is powerful and extremely fragrant. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a cocktail. I highly recommend it. This is not a beginner's rum !!!

It took me a very long time to track down a bottle in Illinois. I believe there is only one distributor that carries it, and they don't even advertise that they do. Eventually got it through special-order at Binny's, after some investigation.

Wonderfully flavorful rum, hogo heaven. That classic untamed Jamaican pungency, but not so much of a banana note - maybe more of a spiced berries smell, if that makes sense? Very powerful yet not off-putting, as some overproofs can be. Surprisingly clean on the palate and quite delicious, I can even sip it (though I wouldn't recommend that to beginners).

This is incredible when used with fruit in drinks, as well as with certain spices or spiced liqueurs, such as allspice dram. A few splashes in a fruit smoothy dramatically enhances the drink. It will also work tremendously well when used for "arranged rums", such as the french style steeped fruit rums.

Its a Hampden pot-still rum - If you rate this below a 7, you're nuts!

An excellent example of Jamaican overproof. Not for the faint of heart!

High ester pot still from Hampden Estate. The long fermentation and double retort brings in that Jamaican funk I know and love.
