Hamilton Guyana 151

Gotta love a good 151 and this Hamilton is one of those 🙌🏻🙌🏻

In the glass: cola. On the nose: careful wafting reveals fruit forward, some coffee, burnt sugar. On the palate: sweet but a bit strong for standalone tasting. With some water, chocolate, coffee, caramel with some dark fruit. Medium finish with a little bitterness. Really stands up in cocktails.

I enjoy this. The abv is high for my taste. I know that is the point. I have not tried 86 to compare.

Wasn't ready for how hard it punches you at first. After that I enjoyed it

Brown colour, strong taste, liquorice and coffee in the background

Wew, this was good. Does a great job in any drink, whether mixed in or as a float.

Tasting notes: overpowering note of ethanol on the nose, with hints of caramel. Classic demerara flavors (brown sugar, caramel, char) on the back, though it has to fight through the ethanol every step of the way.

Tasted this one side by side with a key competitor and while this one lost on the nose (wasn't quite a rich), this one really wins on flavor. Of course a big alcohol burn hits you front and center, as expected. This gives way to a little bit of acidity, which then proceeds to a little sweetness and bitterness. Finally, the aftertaste takes over where I'm detecting some healthy funk. This one is sippable even at 151 proof. An excellent rum.

Just bought this bottle and looking forward to mixing it in my favorite cocktails calling for a 151!

I love 151 rums. They're cost effective and the most flavor dense rums if you mix them properly. Lemonhart is my favorite. This may be my second favorite. Hamilton 151 has great Demerara flavor. I only like Lemonhart a little more since I get a little extra spice that I can't describe. Im also a big fan of Hamilton 86 as a base Demerara, as well as El Dorado 5 and 8.

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. It’ll definitely add that missing ingredient to your drinks!
