Tasting Notes

Approach this overproof rum with respect; small sips reveal its complex layers. On the nose, expect that potent aroma characteristic of Jamaican pot stills. High-ester funkiness mingles with a bouquet of molasses and tropical fruits, including pineapple, ripe banana, and a striking grapefruit presence. As the aroma evolves, a mineral-laden funk emerges and lingers. On the palate you'll experience heat and fruity esters initially, leading to the ripe banana notes detected in the aroma. A grapefruit citrus backbone supports the sweet dance of pineapple on the palate, while a molasses wave transitions to lingering mineral tones. Rum Fire culminates with an intense warming finish. The mineral notes persist, leaving a lasting impression that is both intense and satisfyingly complex, carrying notes of toasted oak and a smooth warming pepper finish.

Suggested Serves

• Rum Fire Daiquiri: A classic serve, where the bold character of this rum gives the simple mix of lime and sugar a remarkable depth and complexity.
• Tropic Thunder: A tropical concoction of pineapple juice, lime and Rum Fire makes this a favored serve, highlighting the tropical fruit flavors of the rum.
  
• Kingston Soundsystem: A delicious far-flung riff on the Jungle Bird. Try a split-base of aged pot still rum and Rum Fire Overproof, along with Suze, lime juice and pineapple juice.

Production Notes

Rum Fire Overproof is distilled in a traditional pot still, a method used by Hampden Estate for over 265 years. This old-world distillation practice includes the use of naturally fermented molasses, and no additional sweeteners, or salts, securing a final product that is as unique as it is flavourful. The spirit is then bottled at an impressive 63% ABV, imparting it with the richness and intensity inherent to Overproof rums. Thus, Rum Fire Overproof makes a perfect rum to buy for sampling a robust, fiery yet flavorful spirit.
