Hamilton Jamaican Pimento Dram Allspice Liqueur

Pimento dram is the allspice liqueur that classic rum and tiki recipes call for, and Ed Hamilton made this one after bartenders kept asking him for a real Jamaican version. He searched Jamaica without finding one he liked, so he spent two and a half years developing his own. The base is rum from Worthy Park Estate in the Vale of Lluidas, distilled in pot stills from molasses produced at the estate's own sugar mill. Fresh Jamaican pimento berries (allspice) are macerated in that rum for seven days, and the infusion is filtered and finished with sugar and water, with no artificial coloring. It is bottled at 30% ABV (60 proof). It pours a hazy, pale gold with a greenish tint, lighter than most competing drams, which makes it easier to mix. Difford's Guide describes pungent clove, white pepper, menthol and star anise on the nose; a palate of strong clove and black pepper with numbing aniseed, then leather and fruity Jamaican rum; and a long finish of aniseed, clove and rum funk. A little goes a long way: use it in a Lion's Tail or a spiced Daiquiri, in rum and tiki drinks, or with whiskey and gin.
