Hamilton Saint Lucian Pot Still Rum 2006

Tasted from a sample shared by a friend. A remarkable combination of molasses and funk, with a strong presence of both. The aroma offers notes of banana, rich berries and cream, cinnamon, and island spices. The taste has a spicy kick on the tongue but is delicious, with dark sugar, prunes, a deep, strong bitter vanilla, and a good amount of char. As it develops, the finish becomes more dessert-like, losing some spice and heat, as well as the initial intense molasses and funk.

A powerful blast of fruitiness with an intense spice, finishing with an almost peaty, smoky, oaky character. It begins with a bold intensity that concludes nicely with a peaty quality.

Incredibly tasty but sadly unavailable. Pot stills have been banned in St. Lucia, meaning this rum is gone for good.

More eccentric than a funk band. Not for everyone, but something you won't forget.

Slight funk with a solid rum foundation. Fairly smooth.

Robust and unique
