Hamilton 5 Year St. Lucia Rum

The pot still rums of this lush, tropical island nation located just south of Martinique, are widely regarded as some of the best examples of their kind in the world. The slow fermented molasses came off the Vendome Pot Still at 82% ABV and aged for five years in used bourbon barrels before being shipped to New York. The flavors are explosive and the intensity is pleasantly persistent even as the notes evolve over time. Notes include Anjou pears, cinnamon stick, papaya, honey and spicy oak.
