Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Blonde Rum

Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Blonde scores 9.2 on Rum Ratings — the highest mark in the range — and one taster summed it up as so pale, yet packed with flavor. Ed Hamilton is the Ministry of Rum: the sailor, author, and importer who spent decades documenting Caribbean distilleries and then began bottling their rums unsweetened and honestly labeled. Blonde is 100% pot-still rum from Worthy Park Estate in Jamaica — the family-run distillery in the St. Catherine hills that makes some of the island's most pungent, ester-rich spirit — lightly aged and filtered to a pale straw, bottled at 46% ABV with no sugar or additives. Where the Hamilton Black and Gold are the same Worthy Park distillate dressed for dark-rum and gold-rum roles, Blonde is the funk with nothing in the way. Rum Ratings: the nose is pure hogo, rotten fruit and fruity, earthy tones, then a smooth palate bursting with fruity funk. Expect overripe banana, pineapple, olive brine, and glue-like esters on the nose, a bright, oily, savory palate of tropical fruit and pepper, and a long, dry, funky finish. Honest note: this is Jamaican pot still at full volume — a bottle for bartenders and funk lovers, not for anyone expecting a gentle white. For a Daiquiri that changes your life, a Mai Tai split with Demerara, a Jungle Bird, or a Ti' Punch riff, it's the Worthy Park funk at a bartender's price.
