Rum Fire White Overproof
Silver Rum
Rum Fire // Jamaica
Jamaica’s Hampden Estate is a centuries-old distillery famous for making the funkiest, hogo-monster rums on the planet in their entirely pot-still distillery.
Although the same color and ABV as the better known Wray & Nephew Overproof, the two rums have fairly different flavor profiles; in this case, “mouth on fire” does not qualify as a flavor profile.

This rum reaches out of the glass to kick sand in the face of other high-ester rums.

Tasting Notes
"The nose has the traditional fruity, overripe-banana tones you’d expect from a Jamaican rum. But there’s also something more here, a strong citrus note somewhat like grapefruit. It’s not a sipping rum, but if you insist, you’ll get the initial blast of heat, followed by a wallop of flavor best described as raw, unfiltered, and slightly on the edge; more savory than fruity. If Wray & Nephew Overproof is a purebred Dalmatian, Rum Fire is a junkyard pit-bull. The finish leaves your taste-buds whenever it’s damn ready and not a moment sooner."
