Does anyone else HATE this Hamiltons Jamaican as much as I do? It is in my book as one of my bottom 5 least favorite rums of all times. Drink ruining garbage. Anyone want whats left in my bottle?

I can't deny that I'm interested. I figure that Hamilton can't be terrible - at least average at worst. Rumdood was pimping it on his instagram a few posts ago, so I figured it had to be okay. I'd at least be interested a little taste when/if our paths cross. Neat, how does it taste? What could you compare it to?

I thought the same, anything Hamiltons must be ok. The more I learn about rum the more I seem to disagree with Ed I think... Everyone has their own opinion, and it is possible my palate is not as distingushed (his favorite agricole is Niessen and that is my least favorite).

When Hang10Tiki was at my place over xmas, I let him taste it and smell it. It has a funk to it that I just can't stand. I know, most people say Smith & Cross is too funky for them, but I love that stuff. It is different with the Hamiltons Jamaican. Other rums that have the same funk that I can't stand are - St George Agricole and Duquesne Agricole. It must be something in the production of the rum, I wish I knew what made that flavor. Any rum experts out there know what I am talking about? What causes that flavor?

Anyway Keith, I will save it for you and my bottle of St George and you can have them both at Oasis (or the next time you are in SD). I would rather that they go to someone interested than just sit around my house.
