Sammy's Beach Bar Macadamia Nut Red Head Rum

Sammy Hagar can't drive 55, but he built one of the more successful celebrity spirits portfolios in the business — Cabo Wabo Tequila sold to Campari for a reported $80 million, and Sammy's Beach Bar Rum followed as his tropical passion project, with profits from the brand donated to charity. Red Head is the third rum in the line and the one that put it on the map: a five-year-aged, triple-distilled Puerto Rican rum infused with macadamia nuts, bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV). It's widely recognized as the first macadamia nut flavored rum ever released, and it stands nearly alone in the category — Trader Vic's makes the only real comparison. The blood-red color is genuine and deliberate, coming from beets rather than artificial dye, and it looks like nothing else on the shelf. Expect toasted macadamia, vanilla, and a hefty dose of cane rum on the nose, opening into a sweet, creamy palate of buttery nut, caramel, vanilla, toasted coconut, and a subtle cherry note, finishing long and sugary. Good Spirits News summed it up honestly: this is more liqueur than rum, and it shines in coffee cocktails. RumRatings reviewers describe it tasting like cookies. Use it as an orgeat substitute in a Mai Tai, float it on a colada, shake it into a Macadamia Espresso Martini, or pour it over vanilla ice cream. A conversation-starter with a rock 'n' roll pedigree.
