Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Zombie Blend Rum

Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Zombie Blend Rum is a collaborative spirit born from a meeting of minds: rum importer Ed Hamilton and tiki historian Jeff "Beachbum" Berry. In 2005, Berry famously unearthed Don the Beachcomber's original 1934 Zombie recipe, which required a trio of different Caribbean rums. Years later, in 2019, Hamilton and Berry decided to simplify things for home bartenders and bars by creating a single bottle that captures that classic Zombie profile. This relatively new blend combines rums from Guyana and Jamaica, aiming to deliver the complex, high-proof character needed for Zombies and other tiki cocktails, without requiring you to stock multiple bottles. Hamilton rums are known for offering quality, full-flavored spirits, often from specific Caribbean islands or in traditional styles.

Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Zombie Blend Rum brings a complex, funky, and pot-still character to your home bar, a real secret weapon for authentic Tiki cocktails. It's specifically designed to make your Zombie truly sing, but it also adds serious depth to other tropical concoctions demanding robust craft spirits.

Anticipate rich molasses, dark brown sugar, and tropical fruits like ripe banana and pineapple on the nose, with hints of vanilla and spice. The full-bodied palate delivers caramel and overripe banana, balanced by clove, allspice, and black pepper, plus a noticeable warmth. A long, warming finish leaves behind dark fruit, subtle smokiness, and lingering spice.
